Will definitely try! Here's the summary: 1. Without talking, using sticky notes, ideate as many problems current problems / challenges for 7 minutes 2. Each member of group, 1 by 1 explain quickly each of their problems (max 30 sec) 3. Each person will vote using 2 colored dots on what they feel are the biggest problems (can be used on same sticky note) 4. Moderator will place problems in order of priority 5. Standardize each challenge using “How might we make ____” 6. Without talking, ideate as many solutions for the top voted challenges for 7 minutes ⁃ Moderator there to attempt to help group produce as many ideas a possible 7. Solutions placed on wall as fast as possible, don’t overthink, don’t try to be neat 8. Each member will get 6 colored dots to vote, without discussing 9. Sort prioritized solutions 10. On a Impact vs Effort Graph, the group will determine higher/lower on graph without discussing very much 12. Sweet spot is Low Effort, High Impact ⁃ Moderator will mark these with a colored dot 13. Moderator will ask member who ideated the solution to create an actionable item that can work in the short term

"Cutting out unstructured discussion..." THAT'S BRILLIANT and so simple. I been working for 5 years now and I really hate going to meeting where it will drag on for hours with no actual results or conclusion. Then we still get the same problems throughout the week. And the same meeting about the same problems the week after. Just people bickering. It's the exact contrast of what it was like during debate time in Model UN back in high school and college. Because it was structured and the people were disciplined. I enjoyed the Model UN meetings and conferences because we felt like we were solving real life problems even though they were just simulations. Lots of companies and people in the top management need to go back to the basics and really get things back in order.

[@AJSmart]

This is one of the main benefits of the Sprint process! It cuts out all the clutter and gives a clear framework to operate from. Agree with your points too!

Love it, this is how UX people should be, we are in the agencies to solve problems quickly all the time because nowadays time changed.

[@carloscristiancamachofraus1763]

I love the way you structure this way of solving problems. It is so logic and intuitive. Most of the time we imagine the solution, but skip the problem statement, making it more difficult to put solutions down from our mind into something tangible. It’s even worse when feeling overwhelmed by problems, and not knowing how and where to start.

[@AJSmart]

Exactly Carlos, thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!

[@GabrielVaraljay]

I finally got to have your channel. Thanks for the weekly podcast and all the inspiration I get from you! After the Sprint book, this is a very practical video. Thanks, Jonathan!

[@djohnsonstudios]

Thank you for sharing this exercise! Especially the fact that you enable people to actually find solutions instead of let them talking the whole meeting. Love it

[@AJSmart]

Hey, thanks for the feedback! There's nothing we hate more than a long drawn out meeting ;) Glad you found it helpful!!

[@thearchibaldtuttle]

You speak from my heart! Unstructured, useless waffling is a red flag for me.

[@AJSmart]

Thanks Archibald!

[@timchristian87]

Starting a sprint week tomorrow and this video has been very helpful in giving me some better tools to use in getting to consensus. Thanks!

[@mayanka3773]

I really love how structured and quick this process is from beginning to conclusive steps.. Especially ideation from all the stakeholders involved.. I have one concern or question on this approach that many times lot of problems especially in complex and non linear systems, don't necessarily have solution that is straightforward or even common sensical or intuitive.. and that's why it might fail due oversimplication of system and solutions

[@maske4069]

Great video! Thank you for sharing! How much time would you allocate for this exercise?

[@LouisChilds]

Some great advice here! Thanks for sharing. Avoiding circular conversations is key!

[@patriciafachinipontalti7585]

Love it!!!! Just used with my students from Innovation. We are going to run a sprint on social challenges and used the LDJ to choose which social project to choose. It was amazing how many good ideas showed up!!!

[@AJSmart]

Patricia Fachini Pontalti love hearing that!

[@jieunjeong2744]

Your videos are not only super informative but also so hilarious LOL. Love you guys!

[@mikebelmont5919]

Love this video, it was really helpful and problem solving sessions like that seems really easy :) thanks!

[@mikebelmont5919]

I'm working on ux research app with my friend right now - I would love to hear some opinions :) blog.prototypr.io/ux-missing-piece-5f501d59d1f0

[@AJSmart]

Thanks Michal! We've got loads where that came from :) Stay tuned for more!

[@ClaytonFussell]

Really interesting. Reminds me of the sprint retrospective process but applied to any problem.

[@fedelr5619]

Great video! As a facilitator I always group ideas by topic before voting, makes the process faster and avoids overlapping of ideas Also I don´t recommend the facilitator to participate in the activities (unless doing activities such as co-creation), the facilitation should be as unbias as possible and just guide the conversation :)

[@rockyhox1541]

The best video on KZbin!

Rocky Hox oh wow, thanks for that ❤️

[@VijayKumar-hp7xs]

Great as always, where can buy this timer watch.?

Great video, guys!!!!! Really nice sharing! Impact x Effort Matrix was familiar due to my Lean Six Sigma background, but loved the way it was build here! Also really really good explanations, Jonathan!

[@AJSmart]

cheers Patricia!

[@rabinsharmaluxuryking]

you guys are absolutely awesome, you people and your videos are my product design guru.

[@NbaLive4ever]

Great stuff! Thanks for making the video and providing us a good process to solve problems :)

[@malincDV]

Great video and amazing insight! Just wondering how effective is this compared to surveys? Since this is more internally done unlike surveys which is with random, unfamiliar people.

[@deipty222]

To clarify, do you build solutions for the rest of the top HMWs after you finish building solution for the first one? or you completely ignore the others even if there was one more sticky with the same number of dots and you chose the left? Thanks!

[@gainsborogal]

Where do you get the "magic paper" from? link?

[@tikrasseo]

Thanks for the video! This method seems to blend pretty nicely into s SCRUM sprint.

[@domeatown]

My workplace does this. it works fine for some things. but we have deeper, systemic problems that management is not aware of and because they only ever solve the top five problems and they never consult grunt workers (or listen very well when they do), we will always end up right back where we were. so, that's exactly what happens. we keep cycling and cycling and they keep having Kaizen events and never really getting past a certain point because the real problem is always buried underneath the more "urgent" one. it's like treating a headache instead of cutting out the brain cancer so I would argue that if you are using this in your personal life or as an entrepreneur with a small team, exercise caution. it may be used as a method to disguise an uncomfortable truth (the real truth in my particular case is that we are working with faulty and sometimes outright broken quality metrics that are outdated and not necessarily industry standard. It adds thousands of additional steps per day per person and makes our product less useable. also the images used to produce our parts were drafted by unpaid interns and are frequently poorly researched and continually fought over between departments and locations. We need to get properly trained, adequately paid employees to audit the designs and broadly address the fact that we are using metrics from 2003 when the product was designed in 2019. the work-arounds that individual employees invent and then share with each other and the meetings that we have impromptu to share tips for managing our managers from beneath them almost exclusively exist in service of the product and making it the best it can be in spite of this pervasive and inadequate and almost all-encompassing lack of adequate metrics that exist almost entirely because no one wants to go out and find an expert and then pay them properly) (and then various people will weaponize the quality team because they know how to use the inadequate metrics to pick on individual employees or champion their own whatever it is by generating the right paperwork, but that's a whole different tale of woe stemming from but probably not the same problem. that ones probably more organic and exclusively because humans are kind of a mess

[@blandineeakking]

Really efficient looking forward to applying this exercice with my next project

[@himanshugupta7097]

How can this exercise be conducted in virtual environment?

[@马克-b4l]

It's like a dream job! I will dedicate my life to get to this lvl and further)

[@AJSmart]

Go for it!

[@nomitpahuja7216]

Does this work for generating product ideas for startups?

[@superpirate]

Hey Jonathan, do you start the LDJ with a problem or just telling them to write every problem in general??

[@AnalyticsEmployee]

Nice video. So let me give you a scenario. It's a small team of 5 people, they write 10 problems each in 7 minutes, ending up with 50 problems. Since each gets 2 red dots, there would be 10 red dots to go along all the problems. So what happens if you end up with 10 post-its with one red dot each and 40 without a dot. How do you choose the top 3-4 ones? You take all 10 with 1 dot?

[@digitallcreations431]

That's a great explanation! Is there any limit to the team to do this exercise?

[@zafiraamani8937]

Love this video! I want to ask, is there any paperless/digital board alternatives to this kind of discussion? Thank you very much

[@Metal_Face_Doom]

Try Mural

[@adesulaeman3327]

Good content. Btw usually for product design context, the solution need to be tested. But, how if we want to apply it for something thats not designing a product or a testable object. Like the example in this video. How to verify?

[@VitorGuerraVideos]

Cool video! I'm using exactly same process with my teams. Some time after I start with this mindset its spread throughout the company :)

[@AJSmart]

Vitor Guerra great to hear! You're doing exactly the same exercises? Even the same order? Would love to get more detail and compare processes 💪

[@VitorGuerraVideos]

There is maybe one more step. As moderator I usually try to make clusters with similar ideas before all the voting :) To me the silent brainstorm has one more benefit: it hides egos and roles. When nobody speaks there is no inhibition and no hierarchy. Although I do believe in the decider role, when you're in the middle of a brainstorm I don't think this is the right time to using this resource. PS.: One more thing! Sadly it's impossible to buy Magic Paper here in Brazil :(

[@AJSmart]

YES YES YES! I SHOULD have mentioned the ego thing but you are 100% right my friend.

[@alexala2121]

AWESOME!!!

[@SapphosSails]

[@KimMayroze]

Fantastic exercise! Was the camera person a bit tipsy at the time? ;-)

[@israelbautista9822]

on the high impact scale, you mentioned participants only supposed to say higher or lower to determine impact. How do you determine the effort? should you ask them left or right?

[@gabriellawinters7855]

Most useful video I've watched on KZbin. Ever.

[@AJSmart]

Thanks Gabriella!!

[@serialgfx]

Amazing! Thanks so much for sharing such inspiring content! Two short questions: Imagine you have a team with quite different mindsets, for example managers vs designers. Would you recommend holding two seperate sessions? Do you have any experiences about the maximum amout of people you can do such a workshop? Thanks and cheers

[@AJSmart]

Hey Hans, thanks for the comment. I often do this exercise with up to 100 people split into smaller teams of 7 or 8

[@AJSmart]

Ah, and to your first question: this exercise works well even if everyone has different opinions.

[@serialgfx]

Thanks so much - keep it up, you're doing some really awesome stuff for the community! (:

[@tildadoderayas]

Thanks for the video Jon, I really like all of them. Quick question, how can you measure the impact of a solution/story if it hasn't yet been executed?

[@AJSmart]

It's the "assumed impact" not to actual impact. So you have to guess. Thanks!!!!!

[@stellah9708]

I enjoyed the process, it's like a slightly modified version of Google Venture's Design Sprint. One question I have is, how do you come up with the feature set for MVP based on the solution that has been suggested?

[@AJSmart]

You're exactly right, I use this LDJ exercise when I'm teaching people the principles of Design Sprints. This isn't exactly the perfect exercise for coming up with an MVP feature set, for that i'd run an actual 1 week sprint :)

[@ainainioluwa6628]

Thanks for this❤

[@MistaSmith]

I don't fully understand why the only choice of actions is from the holding-back part and nothing from the moving-us-forward part. Shouldn't most goals come from the moving-us-forward part? For the holding-back part isn't there a HMWLGOI (how might we let go of it) exercise somewhere?

[@ylichuribe5871]

[@shuchimathur3685]

Can LDJ workshops be done online?

[@AJSmart]

Yes! we explain how in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpq5gox-faiHnJI

[@JaakkoPalokangas]

Good video. Thanks for sharing it. One question though: why prioritize solutions before the effort and impact matrix because those are aiming for the same thing?

[@AJSmart]

Hey Jaakko! Thanks for watching! We prioritize solutions based on the voting round with the team. Then we put the top voted solutions on the effort impact scale to decide what to move forward with! We don't really want to put all the solutions on the effort/impact if people don't think they are good at solving our challenge! Maybe you could try it the other way around and let us know how it goes! Could be an interesting experiment :)

[@JaakkoPalokangas]

Hi AJ&Smart. Thanks for the explanation. I was thinking of just doing either dot voting or impact effort scale although I get the idea of this two stage prioritisation. I understand that when you're doing just dot voting, people probably think just impact, not effort, when they are voting. On the other hand, I&E matrix can be too consuming for large number of solutions. Anyways, I'll give it a try for the sake of experiment and let you know how it went.

[@LeeWinbush]

Is there a limit to the number of participants involved in this exercise before it becomes unwieldy, or is it scalable to, say, 25 people?

[@AJSmart]

Teams should be max 7 people but you can have as many teams as you like! We've done 150 people before!

[@Prince-gh2qf]

is this called card sorting?

[@beag7850]

Hi, this is great but how do I moderate LRJ with half of my team in another location. We usually do everything over Skype and it would be a massive challenge...Any ideas? Thanks!

[@AJSmart]

Hey Bea! You're actually the second person to ask about remote LRJ today - wohoo! There's no doubt that it will be tricky and to be 100% honest I haven't tried a remote version of it. My hunch is that the only real difficulty will be voting on the "challenges" and "solutions". So, yeah - the voting part. I would suggest an experiment: Run the LRJ exercise and have somebody very quickly write each of the challenge postits into a Google doc. The voting can happen inside the Google doc. The same can happen for the solutions. Of course this will slow everything down a little and you will need a dedicated person... I'm going to make a video soon once I really try this out, or if you try it, please keep me updated. Thanks for your comment, Jonathan

[@jonathancourtney1175]

Hey Francis, thanks for the useful advice. I personally have not found video conferencing and Mural useful - but I'm glad to hear other people do!

[@balazstivadar8631]

I did for a company a 90 minute workshop. There were two groups seven of each. One of the group chose the problem: "tone of voice" Some people were not respectful. We created this HMW: How could everyone feel respected? We gathered some ideas for this, but the people came up with things like: patience, self controll. Which don't seem like ideas about how to solve the issue. What would you suggest in a case like this? What is your view?

[@AJSmart]

Hey Balázs! We would need a bit more information to help you with this. What challenge were you workshopping ("Tone of voice" of what?)

[@balazstivadar8631]

@@AJSmart Thank you for your reply. So it was a general workshop. We started with the positives as outlined in The Workshopper book, then collected problems, voted etc. One of the most voted problems was "tone of voice" which was refering to the fact that some colleagues perceived some others disrespectful. Then we started collecting ideas for this issue. And instead of workable ideas, some wrote "Patience", "Self-control". All in all, the so-called solution ideas were like these ones mainly.

[@user-wo5rt8yl9y-g7f]

Jamal Khan glad to hear it Jamal :-)

[@tamasr]

What would you do if two people keep saying up and down on the impact-effort positioning? Or do they get to say a direction only once? Or one up-down and one left-right? That wasn't clear.

[@AJSmart]

Hey, great question: To be honest the answer is that the Moderator needs to make sure it doesn't happen by being strict with the timing. Saying things like "We need to move on in the next 30 seconds" or the very cheeky "lets just place this and we'll come back to it" can help keep up the momentum. Then you can come back to the "difficult" one at the end. I rarely have the problem that we cannot decide on the E/I scale because I make it clear that it's just our assumption of the Effort and Impact, not the reality.

I thought it might be the IBM Design Thinking process...

[@gregoryonyeahialam8819]

Why is it important not to discuss about the ideas?

[@AJSmart]

Hey Gregory! The whole idea of this exercise is to completely eliminate any unnecessary discussion. We've found that discussion rarely leads to better understanding or a decision. Instead of discussing what idea is best, why not leave it up to an anonymous vote?! :) You should try it and see for yourself!

Could you remove the background music? That is too noisy
