It requires a skilled facilitator who can ask the right questions and manage participants who are sometimes demanding. In a successful JAD session, there is sufficient structure and direction to gain consensus on software requirements, application design, process re-design and prototype development.
In this workshop, participants will prepare for and participate in several exercises to develop the skills necessary to facilitate JAD sessions.
