ElectronicCollaborationAgenda

• Set up a mythical project that involves a distrubuted team.
  
  
• Divide the participants in half. Half become a collaboration design team, and design a paper mockup of a web-based collaboration system.
  
  
• The other half become customers of the system (i.e., team members). This group brainstorms on what they need from the collaboration system, refining the brainstorm down to a list.
  
  
• Then, the teams come together. The designers present their design, and the customers critique the design, scoring against their needs.
  
  
• Time permitting, the teams switch places and repeat the design/critique process again.
  
  
• Then, to end with constructive momentum, both teams work together to develop a system design that meets joint needs.
