How To Run a REMOTE Workshop (Lightning Decision Jam)

Do you have any tips on how to organise the free discussion sections like during the prioritisation process so that the "loudest" person doesn't dominate this. Also do you have any advice on how to problem frame these workshops so the subject isn't too big/small? I would like to use the workshop for project related decision making as opposed to general team organisation.

Hi! I'm planning on doing this workshop with my team. I've done it once before with another team(went great!) but this time I'd like to focus it on analysing competitors to our brand. Would that work? If so, should I skip the Sailboat or keep that in but try and focus it to the theme?
Thank you!

I have a question. This is considered as a problem solving approach, right? You used it as a retrospective workshop in this example but it could be used for problem solving sometimes.

And the first step is listing the positives. How might a problem have the positives? Assuming we preferred it for problem solving should we start without writing the positives? How should we start? Thank you so much.

Really like this exercise. Simple yet powerful at the same time

Why use the clumsy round dot stickers rather than Miro voting function?

How do we re-visit ideas that were really good and need to keep track off but were sidelined because they had low votes or required too much effort.

Thanks for this video. Its so useful to see it happen. How do you ensure people don't take up too much time when sharing? (I have lots of trouble with long-winded individuals in our remote workshops, especially when there are language barriers)

really enjoyed that, Jonathon, pretty slick workshop. is the template up or do we make our own, and I'm wondering how you might manage 20 people remotely if all are newbies, or would you recommend having someone who's done one before at each table? .Seperate miro //mural board for each group?
Would it be very messy to bring people in and out of breakout rooms to inform for each step as you go along?

Thanks everyone, this was a very informative video. I'm going to be running one of these sessions very soon and this helped me develop some confidence.

Is the template on MIRO of LDJ the newer or older version?

Is the template not working for anyone else?

Thank you for this video. I implemented this in our brainstorming session, which was helpful, and we came up with many ideas and solutions. Some notes that we had to deal with during the session that I think worths sharing. First: if it is the first time your team is using Miro, each section might take longer than expected. The team is not comfortable with the tool, so that you might add some extra minutes for each section.
Second: Even though the concept is to work together but alone, I think it is best to ask people to unmute themselves. It is hard to figure out if they are ready for the next step or not since you are continually looking to the Mrio board rather than the team.
We skipped the last part since the challenge we were working on was complicated, and it was hard to come up with actions in the session itself. And for those kinds of decisions, we needed the product owner to be in the meeting. I am not sure if it was the right choice, however.

Great video - thank you! Is there a reason you facilitate impact and effort @ the same time when in the person video made around the same time the facillitator starts with impact?

@AJ&Smart is there a way to do the LDJ but to decide on variations of mockups if we can’t user test? I feel like the part where we brainstorm solutions would be tough because brainstorming remotely would take a while vs if we did it by pencil for a traditional sprint.

Thank you so much. it was soooo inspiral for me

Hm, I can't open the template in Miro and can't find it when I'm searching...

Thanks for share this workshop!

nice channel📸

Great Insights. Always a challenge to run workshops remotely. I was wondering, if there was a large group of say 20-30 people in the workshop. Would you arrange them in groups of 4-5 each so that they work together. In that case, is it possible to have their own Miro Boards? Then, they could potentially work well on Zoom with Breakout Rooms. How would (have) you managed a workshop with multiple miro boards?

Great video on a very interesting process! Thanks for all you guys do, and greetings from Berlin :)

Great stuff. Loving the LDJ. Question, I'd like to dig also in the "workshop" you'll run next, after Step 7, the "Execution". Tim mentions a little bit about it but if there are any of your guide videos please share it! Thanks!

Hi Would it be possible to have your template for Mural?

thank you for a thorough explanation on this, we totally need this& please keep up yhe good work 😎

What happens when, after voting the problems, you end up with 3 sticky notes with 2 dots each, and another 3 stickies with one dot each? There is no tree phase. It resembles a rectangle. How do we move forward? Should we address all 3 most voted?

Does Miro have an inbuilt timer that everyone can see? Or was the coordinator doing that elsewhere?

I helped on students for their carrier counseling, or guidence

I am teaching my online classes or discussions from my institute on swapnil institute of science and arts, deepika pathology lab and clinic ,deepika computer institute

Thanks

Great. Thank you very much for the presentation

I have some questions: How do you keep things like problems anonymous when you can see who's typing. Also, shouldn't the facilitator read out the problems and eliminate the duplicates, and not have the participants read out the problems. I see them being too careful about coming up with problems without anonymity. What if one of the major problems was something with management, it may never be brought up.

Thanks for making this video.

I love you guys! I struggled with people talking over me and listening to me just so they can disagree with me. LOL

Sprint would be the, THE ideal solution.

Thank u, It was very usefull!

Nice video 🙌. Thanks for sharing!

By experience doing a LDJ on Miro with clients who aren't "tech savvy" is that you really need to educate them first on the basics of Miro. Besides that, try to use the video-call feature in Miro to avoid people to switch between apps..

One question: Why do you use the dots instead of the voting-system in Miro?

Sorry if I am being daft — how do you add the sticky notes collaboratively? Are you screensharing on Zoom?

This is a good exercise to run following user testing in a design sprint. You can figure out what to work on based on a summary of positives and negatives from testers.

Thank you Jonathan and AJ&Smart!! You are such an invaluable resource during these times (and beyond!!!)

What is the different between Product Manager and Product owner, are they the next level of product designer or UX Designer??

Great job guys!
