Showcase
A regular event where the project team walks stakeholders through their work in progress.
What it is
When to use it
How to run it
As a team, map out the key things you are going to discuss at your showcase. This will depend on the phase of your project, but may include:
An overview of the problem you are trying to solve.
Research findings.
Artefacts you have developed that help you understand the problem, like personas or journey maps.
Recommended solutions.
Ask yourselves – what would we like to get feedback on? What curly questions are we grappling with as a team?
Develop a run sheet for the session, noting artefacts (project materials) you will talk to and expected timings.
It is good to have every member of the team present, so divide up the presenting time amongst your team asking people to nominate what they would like to present on.
Practice! Do a run through of your showcase the day before, and give team members plenty of time to prepare the space the day before so you are ready to go.
