Introduction

According to Barbara Glover et al., Template:Quotation¦Affinity diagrams can be used for almost anything from project definition to analyzing product evaluations and everything in between. Here we use it as a variant for card sorting

Method for item sorting

Preparation

  • Buy post-it notes or figure out a different method for sticking cards to a surface (beware of wind !)
  • For each site content (information, services) etc. write down a label (same procedure as in card sorting

Execution

  • Tell participants to look for items that seem to be related
  • Sort the post-its into groups until all have been used. All cards of the same group should be aligned vertically on a table or a wall
  • Ask participants to write out labels for these groups on blank post-its.
  • Repeat as many times as needed

You can allow participants to create sub-groups, i.e. a mind map-like structure.
