Discussion guide

The moderator creates a discussion guide based on their conversations with the stakeholders concerning the study's goals. The moderator then uses the discussion guide to structure the session, and to make sure that he covers all of the tasks with each participant.

Anatomy of a discussion guide

A discussion guide has different sections. The approximate times per section are based on a one-hour session duration, as follows:

• Introduction (5 minutes)
• Warm-up (5 minutes)
• Tasks (40 minutes)
• Post-session questions (5 minutes)
• Wrap-up (5 minutes)

Sample discussion guides are provided in the appendix.
