This document discusses collaborative sketching for user experience design. It defines collaborative sketching as benefiting from colleagues' participation to communicate and refine ideas through visualizing, generating, and iterating on sketches. An exercise is described where teams discuss features for an event website, sketch ideas silently, share sketches to provide feedback, and sketch again with new insights. Resources on design studio methodology, sketching tools, and prototyping with sketches are also provided.

[This sketch] has very special significance – it's hanging in the office somewhere
with one other page. Whenever I'm thinking about something, I really like to take
out the yellow notepad and get it down.

- 11. Advice from the Experts
- 12. “There are techniques and processes whereby we can put experience front and center in design. My belief is that the basis for doing so lies in extending the traditional practice of sketching.” - Bill Buxton Bill Buxton Sketching User Experiences
- 13. Attributes of a Sketch •Quick •Timely •Inexpensive •Disposable •Plentiful •Clear vocabulary •Distinct gesture •Minimal detail •Appropriate degree of refinement •Suggest & explore rather than confirm •Ambiguity Bill Buxton Sketching User Experiences
- 14. "There is no more powerful way to prove that we know something well than to draw a simple picture of it. And there is no more powerful way to see hidden solutions than to pick up a pen and draw out the pieces of our problem." Dan Roam The Back of the Napkin
- 17. Defining Collaborative Sketching Origins • Rooted in Design Studio Methodology • Grew out of industrial design and architecture • No “rockstars” • Different versions/methods • For example, Todd Zaki Warfel, Message First, talks about … • Create. Pitch. Critique. • 6.8.5 game
- 18. Methodology • Sketch • Limit your time • Don’t worry about mistakes or style Goals • Benefit from the participation of your colleagues • Communicate ideas effectively by visualizing them • Quickly generate ideas and refine through iterations
- 19. Process: 1. Discuss 2. Sketch 3. Share 4. Revise
- 20. Discuss • Discuss the experience you’re sketching • What’s its purpose? • What features are necessary? • How would you prioritize them? • What’s the audience? • However, you are not discussing layout or design • Just the problem you’re trying to solve • No sketching yet!
- 21. Sketch • Sketch silently • Limit your time – 5, 10 minutes • Sketch as much has possible, as many different ideas as possible • Emphasis is on quantity of ideas not quality of sketches
- 22. Share • Review your work with your team • Keep it short – 60 seconds each • You provide feedback to others • What you like • Questions about didn’t work for you • You’re not grilling your colleagues and this is not a competition
- 23. Revise • Now begin your wireframe with a more informed view, more and better ideas • And sketch again if you need to
