Most SDLC methods provide a representation of the requirements late in the

lifecycle that lack the experiential aspect altogether

We created the OneSpring

JAM Session to improve

the requirements elicitation

and validation process

A JAM Session allows

stakeholders to experience

their requirements

Small GroupCollaboration

Collaboration in small groups provides an

effective means of problem solving within a

structured environment

Complex problems that go beyond the routine

require the communication of shared knowledge

to create viable solutions/approaches


14/24

Small collaborative groups are well defined in their roles

for the JAM Session

Producer facilitates the experience

Analyst elicits & documents the requirements

Designer crafts the experience

Business provides the what?

Technology articulates the how?

It has long been recognized that user interfaces

should be designed iteratively in almost all

cases...the median improvement in overall

usability was 165% from the first to the last

iteration, and the median improvement per

iteration was 38%...

The requirements cannot be fullyunderstood

until they can beexperienced


17/24

Insight observation to gain valuable

knowledge and context on the business,

customer and technologies

Clarity - design activities that crystallize

the gathered insights to form a model of

the experience

Focus socialization and measurement of

the experience model to provide

continuous improvement and validation


18/24

The iterative cycle allows us to rapidly visualize the big picture, gain

stakeholder consensus and then drill-down to specific features


19/24

From initial sketches to detailed information

design, visualization incorporates the use of

dynamic imagery as a means of effectively

communicating requirements

Visualization not only enhances a shared

understanding, but is critical in helping

stakeholders organize their thoughts and work

through problems to collectively build a solution

Flow also happens when a persons skills are

fully involved in overcoming a challenge that is just

about manageable, so it acts as a magnet for

learning new skills and increasing challenges. If

challenges are too low, one gets back to flow byincreasing them. If challenges are too great, one

can return to the flow state by learning new skills.Flow

- Mihaly Csikszentmihalvi (July. 1997) PsychologyToday


22/24

A key aspect to generating the Flow includes both

the environment in which the JAM Session takes

place and the mental investment by the

stakeholders

Goals are clear

Feedback is immediate

Balance between opportunity & capacity

Concentration deepens

The present is what mattersControl is no problem

Sense of time is altered

Loss of ego
