Distributed Participatory Design web-based groupware
Carlos Alberto Joia Lazarin, Leonelo Dell Anhol Almeida · 2016
Geographically distributed stakeholder's participation in the software development process is usually limited either by budget issues or by time constraints. Those limitations are more severe regarding to modeling web-based applications. Despite of the benefits related to people's empowerment in the decision making process, most of Participatory Design (PD) techniques are limited by the fact of demanding co-located practices. We conducted two participatory workshops to gather requirements for a distributed PD web-based groupware system that will support the adoption of BrainDraw in scenarios that stakeholders are geographically distributed. As results we present requirements, wireframes and some adjustments proposed by the workshops' audience about conducting BrainDraw through a web-based groupware system.
