Remote product design workshops - how to benefit from online cooperation?

00:00 → 00:03

Product design workshops are the best way of starting the

00:03 → 00:05

product development process.

00:05 → 00:08

We love conducting them in house with our clients.

00:14 → 00:19

But sometimes it's not possible to meet each other in our office.

00:19 → 00:23

Fortunately, at Merixstudio we run online product design

00:23 → 00:24

workshop sessions,

00:24 → 00:27

which can bring a lot of benefits for your project.

00:27 → 00:29

What does the online workshop session look like?

00:29 → 00:33

The core of the remote workshop session is basically the

00:33 → 00:37

same as in the case of workshops run-in house.

00:37 → 00:41

Every session is different and adjusted to the project's or

00:41 → 00:43

service's needs.

00:43 → 00:46

What they do have in common is that we take special care into

00:46 → 00:49

selecting the right crew on board.

00:49 → 00:52

The team is more than happy to take an active part in

00:52 → 00:55

analyzing the problems as well as generating potential

00:55 → 00:59

solutions based on our knowledge and experience.

00:59 → 01:02

To run the online workshops effectively and ensure the best

01:02 → 01:05

communication and cooperation possible,

01:05 → 01:08

we use different tools like MURAL, Google Meets,

01:08 → 01:11

Google Docs and others if needed.

01:11 → 01:12

Before the workshops,

01:12 → 01:16

we inform the client about the tools we are going to use so he

01:16 → 01:18

can prepare for using it during the session.

01:18 → 01:22

Such workshops are divided into shorter sessions,

01:22 → 01:26

with each one lasting approximately four hours.

01:26 → 01:30

That's why they are moderated by experienced facilitators

01:30 → 01:34

that can watch over the most effective course of the workshop.

01:34 → 01:37

Remote sessions will help you save time,

01:37 → 01:41

not only because you don't have to travel to Poland and visit our office.

01:41 → 01:45

The tools we use contribute to a better work organisation,

01:45 → 01:49

sharing the data and ideas and effective gathering of project

01:49 → 01:50

requirements.

01:50 → 01:53

Here is a list of useful rules when participating in online

01:53 → 01:57

workshops: Make sure you have a good internet connection.

01:57 → 02:00

This is a must. Do not interrupt each other.

02:00 → 02:03

Follow one person speaking at the time rule.

02:03 → 02:06

Make sure you are on the same page as others.

02:06 → 02:09

If you are lost, let the other participants know.

02:09 → 02:11

We want the session to productive.

02:11 → 02:16

Attention span is lower, so ask for breaks if your focus is limited.

02:16 → 02:20
