Leisa Reichet in her workshop (of which i lost the first 30 minutes) talked about ways to improve productivity while planning a new web experience.

Nothing new, but it was a good idea splitting the attendands in several group and ask them to work together.

Even if the workshop lasted for 3 hours, however, many arguments where just drafted.

Some notes taken while not brainstorming with my group:

• build collaboration into your project methodology – collaborate with your project team
• collaborate with your peers (people who do the same thing as you) and invite other expert perspectives
• consider wildcard collaborators (not necessarily part of ur team) that has other perspectives

When to collaborate

• at the beginning
• not just at the beginning
• when you’re stuck (trouble shooting / problem solving) – narrow focus

Collaboration tools

• people (the right ones)
• sticky notes & market pens
• whiteboards/flip charts
• fun stuff (stimulus)
• sugar (if it’s afternoon)
• an objective
• tecniques
