About the Workshop
In this workshop Ben and Christine will facilitate a hands-on experience with digital collaboration using tools and techniques from a recent product inception workshop Ben facilitated. Ben will demonstrate how he used a visual collaboration tool mural.co to successfully kick-off a product discovery initiative.
You will participate in online exercises that demonstrate:
- Teaching participants how to use digital collaboration tools
- Building early trust between people who have never met in person
- Defining success criteria for the initiative
- Establishing ways of working for the team
- Creating a “mission control” for visual management of the initiative
- Running the daily meeting online
- Running a retrospective online
Along the way Ben will share his lessons learned and things to avoid next time.
After this session you will have experience participating in a digital workshop and some tips on how you might run one of your own, and where to get more information.
Important prerequisites for this session:
- To allow for participation in the hands-on exercises this session is limited to 20 participants. Additional LAST Anywhere sessions may be scheduled from the waiting list if there is sufficient demand or you can contact Ben directly to book a private session for your team.
- You will need
- an internet connection that is fast and stable enough for video calls
- a headset with built-in microphone to ensure good audio quality
- a quiet private space with no distractions
- to have video switched on
- sufficient computer skills to use the online tool mural.co. Please try out the tool before the session if you have any doubts using their free trial.
