Run a user-centered workshop or ideation session.

Courtesy of our friends at

This toolkit provides all the basic exercises that are necessary to run a user-centered workshop or an ideation session.

Kick off your session with an Icebreaker to get the team comfortable with each other. Use the Persona Profile and User Journey templates to understand who you are designing for and spot opportunities for new products and services or for improvements.

The Lightning Demos and Crazy 8 templates can set your team up for success during a brainstorming or ideation session.

Enjoy!

If I Were An Animal

A fun way to help the team bond by thinking about which animal represents each person best. Use this exercise at the beginning of a session to get everyone in the meeting comfortable with each other by sharing something personal. This template can fit both a newly formed team, meeting for the first time, and an established team, getting to know each other better.

Persona Profile

Develop further context around your end-user persona and help build an understanding of who it is you're actually designing for. Start by listing details about the persona, including their goals, attitudes and what they say, both positive and negative, to build a fleshed-out depiction of the persona. Use this template to develop empathy as a team before beginning a project.

Through this exercise you'll identify first the user’s pain points and then opportunities for improvements along the journey.
