Organise a Card Sort exercise to help define the new catalogue structure

[russelltrow]

Context

Card sorting is a user research method where participants group labeled cards (representing content or concepts) into categories, revealing how users mentally organize information and inform the design of intuitive information architecture.

@pdematos12 recommended using a Open Sort to help the team determine an optimal structure for the new patterns catalogue.

Assets

• Card Sort
• Spreadsheet of patterns

Actions

• @russelltrow setup UXTweak
• Gather a selection of about 30 patterns across the spectrum that we cover. We should also include some potential future patterns of areas you want to expand into e.g. UX so that we future proof.
• @pdematos12 Setup in UXTweak
• @franziska-warncke @LiyaMath review and approve sort once setup
• Publish card sort asking people to group the patterns.
• Add card sort banner to patterns website
• Include card sort in GSF member report email
• Add card sort link to weekly newsletter
• @franziska-warncke Publish card sort link to Green Software Movement platform
• Paula share a summary of results so far (11 Sept)

Many thanks Russ for organizing! 😄 I added the action to place some text in the Green Software Movement

Well done everyone. I just checked and we have 16 participants who completed it. I will push within my organization and my social circles again. Best wishes, Paula
