Presumptive Design

Chapter 15

The Creation Session

Abstract

PrD depends on two fundamental activities: creating the artifact (in the Creation Session) and serving up the artifact (in an Engagement Session). In the Creation Session, internal teams make their assumptions manifest through the crafting of artifacts. Team members may not be familiar with sketching techniques; they may have never worked together before the session; they may not recognize their assumptions as assumptions. A successful Creation Session requires keen facilitation and attention to logistical details.
