Creative Requirements Conversations

Abstract

Uscreates projects show that capturing requirements to inform the design of products, services, and systems must involve truly engaging people in conversation. This is a creative process that has to be designed to suit the people involved in the discussion. It's easy to speak to the willing, but often these aren't the people from which the information is needed. Uscreates is often commissioned to to reach groups. No group of people is hard to if the research and designing is done in the right environments and methods to speak to them. The high levels of technology are necessary to gather information and requirements for human centered projects. It's more about the design of the space and the people facilitating the conversation; spaces that encourage creative conversation are low in technology, but high in facilitation.
