Today we'll talk about another way of gathering information: The KJ Technique. This method will allow a group of people to quickly reach a consensus on organizing information. For our purposes, we will be focusing on website content, however you could use this technique for any number of situations.
Let's all have a look at how the folks at User Interface Engineering describe the KJ Technique:

Now that you have a better understanding of what the KJ method is, let's try one in class! Remember asking your friends and co-workers all those questions about IMDB.com? Now it's time to see what YOU think! The room is about to get very colorful!
Once we have grouped and named our categories, I want you to take an inventory of every group. Write down each category, outline-style. This way, you'll have a quick-reference guide to what exactly your website design should include.
Next, we'll start WIREFRAMING!
No homework tonight!
