I’m posting a detailed running sheet from a group a few years ago to show what a detailed running sheet can look like. A link to the attachment is at the bottom of the post.
Collaborative Development of Running Sheet
Group 1 – the first group to air on RWAV in 2012 provide a good example of how a simple organizational process or tool may be used intelligently to simultaneously develop a solid project roadmap and strong group ownership.
Having our extensive, three-page, running sheet was at the very heart of our entire show. The running sheet proved to be incredibly helpful and enabled us to stay on track with time and content. Having consistently edited and improved the running sheet we were very confident in the final product and we attribute the success of the show to our excellent organization and planning.

| TOMS IV | Brief discussion with Tom
Is there a personal story behind why you chose to focus on this niche in society? What do you think about the ‘life’ of Milk bars, will supermarkets and 7/11stores eventually replace them all? How do you think this is affecting society generally? I got a really strong sense of the community involved in Milk Bars, the regular customers, their quirks etc. The social experience of ‘shopping’ is now quite a sterile, impersonal experience. How can the average person help struggling milk bars – do you think a community kind of co-op can still exist? What’s your ultimate milk bar snack? |

| DUMPSTER DIVERS AND IV
WITH MORGAN Gets us to 50 minutes
|
DISCUSSION/IV ABOUT DUMPSTER DIVING.
A new kind of ‘sustainable’ approach has begun to grace our shores from America – Dumpster diving. Divers basically describe themselves as an anti-capitalist social group who live foraging for commodities like food, furniture and clothing and by doing this, are not only reducing waste but are protesting against the system of overproduction creating this waste. INTRODUCE MORGAN – 20, Visual Arts Student living in Falkner. So Morgan, can you explain to us the process of an actual dumpster dive – what happens? What kind of stuff do you look for, and more importantly what kind of stuff do you tend to get? Is there a real community of divers who share hot spots and stuff you guys pick up? What’s your response to the argument that dumpster diving is unfair to producers and a form of stealing? Any funny stories from a dive gone wrong or have you found anything super gross in a bin?

The above version of the running sheet was created for the presenters on the show and another version created for the panel operator. Whilst it is easy to see how the highly detailed running sheet enabled the group to deliver its first program with confidence and precision, perhaps equally as impressive as the final artefact is the nature of the iterative and collaborative process that the group used to create it.
