1. Select users
2. Prepare the cards
3. Set-up the session
4. Lead the session
5. Save the card sorting
6. Analyze your data
15. ➔ Limit cards (30 to 40)
➔ Enough space: Big table / wall
➔ Random card order
➔ Limit time (1h max)
➔ Name the groups at the end
➔ Balance speaking time
➔ 1 leader (takes notes)
Best practices
17. ➔ We need 5 to 6 groups (3 on the icons sorting, 3 on
the navigation)
➔ Take a look at the cards in front of you
➔ Put together the cards that belong together for
you (you can discuss the classification)
➔ Name the groups you’ve created
1. Arrange and group the cards
18. ➔ Gather together the 3 groups and compare your
groups
◆ Are there similarities?
◆ Are there things that totally differ from one
group to another
➔ Can you already see some statistically significant
patterns?
2. Gather and discuss
