Workshop Requirements:

Ideal group size
To make this exercise worthwhile you’ll need a range of input and opinions, but you don’t want so many people that the logistics of running the exercise gets difficult. You can technically use the LDJ with just 2 people, although we usually recommend a minimum of 3. An ideal size is 4 to 6
people, and the maximum is 8 (more than this and the whiteboard gets crowded and the sticky-notes become hard to keep track of).

Total time needed
The times we’ve suggested in the exercise are more of a guideline and may only be relevant to the first time you run through it. The exercise itself usually takes between 30–45 mins. For larger groups (or tackling multiple problems) all the steps can take up to 1.5 hours.

Choose a moderator
You absolutely need to select someone on the team to take the role of the moderator. They can join in on the process but they must focus on making sure discussions don’t break out and they need to keep the time. We rotate this role at AJ&Smart.
