Yes and.

Useful for.

Thinking of creative or innovative ways to deliver a certain feature.

How to do it.

Using the results of the what content activity, you should have a set of features/ contents that should be on the site. Split them amongst a couple of small groups (2-3 people each) and then run the activity. Put the feature/ content as a postit at the top of a wall/ whiteboard. Then, between the 2 or 3 of you, extend that idea by saying “yes and…”.

EG if a feature is “Impact visualisation”, the yes ands could be

• “yes and it’s built with the New York Times datavizz team for mass exposure”
• “yes and it’s added to giphy so people can share an animation of it”
• “yes and we find ways to incorporate that data into other Vizzuality projects for the biggest reach possible”

A good example. Mozilla

Time needed. As long as you need. In the Mozilla workshop we spent 5 minutes setting up, 30 minutes in groups (3 features each to do yes and with), then an hour presenting and discussing.
