Component Identification and Prioritization Exercise

Excercise Goals 

• Achieve shared meaning of component ideas

• Synthesize and group component ideas

• Prioritize component ideas for the "Fluid Roadmap" (see below for prioritization attributes)

  • Top 5 components

  • For all:  High, Medium, Low Priority to be further prioritized in later Fluid planning exercises

The Exercise

Participants write component ideas on post-it notes (mostly pre-summit) - 1/2 hour

• Participants will writeup component ideas/UI resuable solutions on post-it notes prior to the summit.  The description may focus on a component or an area of pain indentified in the UX Walkthroughs.  Further discussion, fleshing out and synthesis of ideas will happen during the categorization & synthesis activity

• Post-it coding:  uPortal = blue, Moodle = yellow, Sakai = purple

Idea categorization and synthesis - 3 hours

• Grouping on wall (similar to card sorting)

• Discussion of ideas that need clarification

Prioritization - 3 hours

• Synthesized ideas placed in "frequency of use / Criticality quadrants

• Tag with additional attributes

  • technical feasibility

  • cross-cutting - which apps?

  • Other?

• Prioritize

What's next? - 1 hour

• Identify design "leads" for high priority components

• Other?
