The Design Charrette - A Collaborative Problem-Solving Methodology

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Explains how to run a time-boxed design charrette with concrete roles and deliverables: a neutral facilitator prepares constraints and invites 6–10 cross‑functional participants, teams do 5 minutes individual ideation, follow with 2 minutes pitches and a 7 minute convergence to pick one solution. Uses simple artifacts (pen sketches, sticky notes, Excel/CSV import, JPEG/PDF receipts, OCR) and real integrations (Concur, Expensify) as examples, and stresses scope, scheduling and iterative rounds rather than polished mockups.
