AGILE Workshop Outline (Crazy 8’s/Sketches/Wireframes)
<aside>
💡 Using the FigJam embedded timer + lo-fi tunes is super fun!
It is possible that you may not get through all of these steps in one sitting - splitting this agile workshop into 2 days could be helpful or also doing the lo-fi / hi-fi designs async & assigning flows to pairs / individual apprentices will provide a sense of ownership & accountability.

Review low bandwidth considerations
Step 1: Understand - 10 mins (pre-Crazy 8)
- Review what we know- Review journey map and proto-personas
- Review User Journey Map (~5 min)
- Lead will summarize Persona (~5 min)
Step 2: Critical Thinking - 10 mins
- Walk the Persona through the User Journey Map - What are some ways the current flow/features may not be ideal for the Persona?
- 2 minutes individual time to review Persona
- 8 minutes to discuss together how Persona may encounter difficulties in the journey
Step 3: Decide - 5 min
- Everyone gets 2 votes each
- Pick a point on the User Journey Map you think is most important to focus on
Step 4: How Might We’s - 15 min
- Rephrase potential failures into a positive design challenge or opportunity
- Example: “Artists might not want to go through all the steps to get started making investments” → ”How Might We make it really easy and fun to get set up with all the info RH wants from them to get started?”
- Affinity map the HMW’s to see what the team is aligning on
- Agree on which group we want to tackle —this should be fairly obvious but will discuss if not.
- Agree on a team-approved HMW — pick one winner or rewrite to summarize!
Step 5: Crazy 8s sketch! - 16-24 min
- Sketch out 8 ideas in 8 minutes per HWM question (we may get through 2-3 total today)
- Sketches can be UI, stick figures, multi-screen, etc. this is all about getting concepts down!
Step 6: Vote - 10 min
- Pick your favorite 3 sketches/ideas and walk the team through your thinking:
