Being agile is a hot topic in the design industry today. However, within industrial design there are many challenges to be faced when becoming more agile. One of the barriers is that conducting research with users in a traditional way can be time consuming and costly. Demands from the agile movement are pushing those in industry to come up with better and more efficient ways of keeping users in the loop throughout the design process. This workshop introduces participants to digital agile communities. This is a tool used by researchers and designers to iteratively 'check in' with users, test ideas and respond to user feedback. Participants will interact with a live digital agile community, sharing their own design sketches generated in the session with real users. The intention of the workshop is for participants to engage with a new tool and inspire discussion into agile research methods for industrial design.
