Defining workshop constraints

The conditions for conducting a workshop may not always be ideal. There may be shortages in terms of space, time, and resources. The good news is that by identifying these constraints, you can work your way around them and still ensure a successful workshop. For example:

• Time constraints: If you are short on time, you can optimize the workshop by carrying out dry runs of the event within your team to eliminate any bumps.
• Resource constraints: You don’t need access to digital tools like Sketch or InVision for your workshops if you don’t already have it. Make use of plain old pens, paper, sticky notes, and other easily available stationery for your workshops.
• Space constraints: Can’t make room for a full-fledged in-person workshop? There are remote workshop tools like Mural and Zoom that can come to your rescue.

Identifying these constraints early on can help you avoid them or work around them in future workshops.
