Affinity Diagrams

local Brewery Culture Jamie Turpin // Professor Siniscarco // IDUS711 // Summer 2013

THE PURPOSE of the insight report is to share guiding principles

or universal truths about the specific cultural context of your research that you have uncovered. These discoveries should emerge from and be supported by the data.

In your ethnographic research, you gathered data about users’ motivations, behaviors, likes, dislikes, frustrations, pain points, anomalies, and more. Some of these discoveries were obvious—the moment you observed them, you knew that they were significant.

Other discoveries were subtler; they emerged through your models as patterns, breakdowns, and anomalies.

This project part has two distinct steps. First, create an affinity diagram, and then write an insight paper. Building upon what you uncovered in Course Project, Part 5: Models, you will create an affinity diagram that will show deeper insights. Next, you will write a 5- to 10page paper in which you share your insights and supporting data.

Project Overview

AFFINITY DIAGRAM is a tool that is commonly used within project management and allows large numbers of ideas stemming from brainstorming to be sorted into groups, based on their natural relationships, for review and analysis. Affinitizing is a way to categorize, organize and arrange information to find patterns in the data.

1 2 3

If you have not already done so, start writing key data points from your working wall(quotes, findings, interesting observations, patterns, etc) on postit notes.

Create an affinity diagram based on your research. You should start affinitizing right on the working wall with your data.

Take photos of your diagram to include in the Insights Report.
