Learn How to Design a Tabletop Exercise

Step 5: Develop the materials

In addition to the SitMan, a TTX also generally includes a presentation and an evaluation form. The presentation should be used as a guide by the exercise facilitator and players to help facilitate discussions. It is based on information contained in the SitMan and should provide an overview of the TTX, ground rules for exercise conduct, modules to drive scenario discussions and key questions for the hot wash at the end of the TTX.

The evaluation form provides participants a chance to voice concerns and offer potential improvements while the experience is still fresh.  All completed forms should be left with the facilitator at the end of the TTX.
