Asynchronous debriefing

Asynchronous debriefing

For some remote teams, it might be impossible to get everyone to attend the debrief session at the same time. In this case, you can opt for asynchronous debriefing.

Choose whatever sharing and discussion platform works best for your team.

Create a post with your initial analysis, share it with the team, and ask questions to inspire discussion. You can add relevant photos and images as they help people empathize remotely. Plan time between research participants to post updates or allocate a once-a-day cadence for field research.

Here are some ideas for asynchronous debriefing:

  • Post participant highlights. Instead of relating what happens verbatim, share the biggest surprises or contradictions. This will keep your team focused on the most critical insights from each session.
  • Include direct questions and tag people if possible. This will help draw people into the discussion.
  • Schedule a meeting as soon as possible. Asynchronous sharing helps you start the discussion but doesn't replace a good face-to-face conversation or whiteboarding activity.
