- Prepare
- Conduct/observe
- Confirm
- Communicate
- Have a recorder for each phase of the process.
- Be sure to include what tools and techniques are used to conduct the elicitation.
- Once the role play is over, take time to review the lessons learned within each group.
- Be sure to include in your lessons learned how ethnography was used in your role play.
- Once the lessons learned are done within each group, come back as a class and go over the lessons learned as a class that was recorded by the recorder.
- As a class, create a list that contains the top 7-10 lessons learned from all the groups.
- As a class, spend time going over each group’s ethnographic discussion.
- Submit an updated requirements document on the new requirement(s) that was provided by your faculty that the group used in class.
