Winning UX Workshops
We’re all familiar with bad workshops: hours—or days—of unstructured discussion that ends with no clear outcome. Good workshops, however, are the perfect way to kick off a project, conduct discovery, and collaborate with coworkers.
In this seminar, Avanade Digital experience director Austin Govella gives us a three-part surefire formula for effective, productive, and winning workshops: frame, facilitate, and finish.
