Cómo ejecutarlo

  1. 1

    Prepare 30-100 index cards, each with a concise piece of information.

  2. 2

    Provide participants with the shuffled deck and blank cards.

  3. 3

    Explain the organizational challenge and ask participants to sort cards into related groups.

  4. 4

    Allow participants to modify existing cards or create new ones if necessary.

  5. 5

    Once sorted, have participants label and describe each group.

Consejos

  • Ensure each card contains just enough information to be understood independently; too much or too little can hinder the process.

  • Encourage participants to think aloud to gain insights into their thought processes.

Variaciones

You can have participants rank items from most to least desirable, or categorize them as 'must have' versus 'nice to have.' Another option is to have them sort cards into predefined categories to test their relevance.
