We love workshops for collecting user data and engaging project participants, whether remotely or in person. Here’s why:
- Workshops help get feedback from more diverse groups (not just the ones who are physically available or “good at meetings”)
- Workshops can effortlessly manage contributions from big groups (because the only thing worse than a 30-person “meeting” is trying to reconcile contradictions from a bajillion individual interviews)
- Workshops are participant-driven (so it’s easy to avoid automatic yesses and interviewer bias)
- Workshops are memorable (by exploring and deciding things collaboratively, participants remember big decisions and the logic behind them)
