Use an XTimer room only when shared timing helps the facilitated conversation.

Frequently asked questions

What is a conflict resolution timer?

A conflict resolution timer structures hard conversations around issue framing, balanced turns, listening, options, agreement points, actions, and follow-up.

Can this be used for mediation?

Yes. Use it for facilitated conversations, or use the mediation session timer for a more mediation-specific agenda.

Can participants see the timer?

Yes, when it supports fairness and clarity. Use fullscreen mode or an XTimer room viewer if a shared display is helpful.
