A Practical Guide to Bada$$ Workshops
summary
Claims that planned workshops replace aimless meetings with half-day to multi-day sessions that produce concrete outputs like personas, empathy maps, journey maps, wireframes and low-fi prototypes. Uses a post-up + landscape map method to convert taped questions into a unified goal, assigns activities, and chooses core UX workshop types (discovery, empathy, design, prioritization, critique). Emphasizes a reusable toolbox (physical items, methods, tactics), virtual tools like Miro and Figma with printable fallbacks, icebreakers such as Zombie Cats, agenda homework, camera-on rules, asynchronous tasks, and a nominated tiebreaker to keep momentum.
