100%! This is a great way to do it. When I have offered this to teams, we decide in advance which modules are relevant and which are not. We decide if we want time for a facilitated discussion with your team specific to your context. Teams have let me know this is a really valuable part of the workshop, instead of leaving this on their to do list to coordinate later.
