[Sigia-l] Initial Stakeholders Meeting

[Samantha Bailey]

We have developed a "workshop" with a series of exercises to facilitate 
eliciting goals, defining users, etc. These tend to revolve around the 
typical venn diagram: business goals, users, content/tasks. We'll typically 
refine or shape the approach or exercises chosen based on who we're working 
with. We work through the exercises, which are a combination of various 
activities--group brainstorming, solo filling out prioritization forms and 
turning them in for later processing, etc., allowing the flow to be based on 
which exercises are resonating the most--different groups just have very 
different responses. Then after the meeting we review the "data" take aways 
and can determine where we need to drill deeper, where to take things 
offline and talk one on one with people, etc.

Keith Instone developed a "navigation stress test" 
(http://user-experience.org/uefiles/navstress/) which can be useful for 
focusing conversations, whether around a client's own site or competitor 
sites on navigation/classification issues. This can be a good ice-breaker.

At the initial stakeholders meeting for a website redesign, as you are
trying to gather information on goals, audiences, measures of success,
site impressions and functionality, etc., have you found any methods of
extracting this initial site information that work particularly well?

Either taking the client through certain evaluative activities on
competitor sites or questions that elicit good responses?
