No. These formats are designed around shared thinking, rather than drawing ability or a creative job title. A clear challenge and a willingness to explore it are the useful starting ingredients.

Start with the scope of the question and the people needed to address it. A narrow decision and a broad exploration need different amounts of space. Agree on the intended output, participants and preparation before setting a session length.
