Workshop: Scenarios to Sketches
Does
your team struggle with developing or prioritizing requirements? Do you
have difficulty getting stakeholders to think beyond their
organizational silos to consider the end-to-end user experience? Do you
sometimes wonder how to connect the dots between your user research and
the design in a persuasive way?
If
so, scenarios may be just the tool for you. Like use cases and agile
user stories, scenarios describe sequential interaction. Unlike those
other tools, though, scenarios rely on the generative and persuasive
power of storytelling, which is perhaps the most natural creation and
communication medium there is.
Based
on a deep understanding of what makes your “characters” tick, this
workshop will show you how to develop compelling stories, then use those
stories to drive requirements and design.
