DTBC Define Demo The define demo has three parts: Unpacking, leaping to Insights, and sketching the User. 3 performers are needed. WHAT DURATION DETAILS Set-‐up for Demo: -‐ Set-‐up: Whiteboard with blank empathy map, and space on side for Tensions, Contradictions, and Surprises. Stools, post-‐its, sharpies, expo. Bill: "We will unpack our empathy work by retelling our team what we saw and heard -‐-‐ and capturing all the data using a user empathy map. We will watch our performers here demo the process" Part 1: Unpacking using Empathy Map 5:00 Jill: "Let me tell you about one of the users I spoke with. As you listen, write down what you note about what the user said, did, thought, and felt. Jill proceeds to tell a story from the empathy work -‐ using an actual story from the empathy module is a bonus. Others write headlines on post-‐its, and paste on the empathy map real-‐ time. The group also captures "Tensions, Contradictions, and Surprises" as they arise. [Give the audience post-‐its and sharpies, have them listen and write down headlines too.] Part 2: Leaping from observations to insights 3:00 On a second board, draw up a chasm to jump over (i.e. leaping from observations to insights). "Look back to your User Empathy Map and the Tensions, Contradictions, and Surprises you captured -‐-‐ and now we ask ourselves "Why is this important?", "What can we infer from this?" Discuss as a team and write down potential insights -‐-‐ one per post-‐it -‐-‐ and put them up on the board. Part 3: Sketch out user and details 3:00 Sketch up the user and headline a few details about the user that are relevant to the person and the insights you've discovered.
