Team Workshop Board
When I start a new project or even during a project, I like to run a series of workshops to help create a shared understanding among my team.
Remember, you are not trying to save the world. You will not solve every question. It is impossible to cram everything into one week.
Space out sessions to give people time to breathe and digest information. Include plenty of breaks in your sessions. People are not machines.
Take your time, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Prioritize certain workshops over others. This is critical when working with clients/stakeholders. The stakeholders are busy and have limited time. Work out with your team what is most important for you to move forward.
As a recommendation, I like to run these workshops in the first week:
Getting to know one another (manuals for me)
Inception exercise
Create a user research plan
Risk workshop
