Preparing, Conducting, and Analyzing Participatory Design Sessions for
Information Visualizations

Participatory design is a recognized method for ensuring that design
products are effective among and acceptable to target audiences. Despite
the growing popularity of participatory design, existing guidelines and
recommendations for how to conduct participatory design sessions gloss over
important details that can have a profound impact on how smoothly design
sessions run and the extent to which they maintain rigor and generate
actionable data. Furthermore, there are unique considerations that apply
when the product of participatory design is a visualization rather than,
say, text. Therefore, in an effort to address this gap and support others
wishing to undertake participatory design work, our team has drafted a
practical manual based on our collective experiences, complete with tips
for iteration tracking, a session guide template, suggested design session
prompts, a note-taking template, and a comprehensive preparation checklist.
In this interactive tutorial, attendees will be introduced to the design
session manual and related resources before practicing the techniques in
small groups with static visualizations.
