APPENDIX 9: INTERVIEW GUIDE FOR STAGE TWO


1:1 Sessions with USIT Members

How useful did you find the process of creating the planning document with UK?

Artefact use. These were my impressions from the observations. What are your opinions?

  1. Discussion document:

    Does the document serve to drive a discussion? Is it a focus of discussion?

  2. Collaboration catalyst:

    Does working with a shared document highlight areas for further collaboration?

  3. Planning:

    Do you ever use a joint document for planning?

    Do you create a planning document?

    What is of most use—the process of creating the document, or the actual finished product?

  4. Reflection:

    Does using/working on a shared document cause you to reflect (as a group) on what you are doing?

  5. Demo:

    Do you ever use any shared artefacts to demonstrate anything to anybody —e.g., how to do something?

  6. Problem solving:

    Does working on a document, or going thorough a document flag up any possible problems that you then turn your minds to as a group?

  7. History (minutes):

    Do you record minutes of meetings?

    How do you do this?

  8. Clarification of understanding:

    Do you ever use the shared document to clarify understandings?

  9. Communication tool:

    Do you use a shared document as a communication tool?

  10. Boundary object:

    Does your shared document cross any boundaries?

    What boundaries does it cross?

  11. Interpretation:

    Do different people get different interpretations of things that are in the document?

    Is this a good or a bad thing?

    Explain.

    How do you cope with different interpretations?

  12. Representation propagation:

    How does the document get created?

    What input is there?

    Vertical Horizontal

Your opinion on the importance of face-to-face interaction.

What media do you use?

Likes and Dislikes?

You have your own version of the planning document. How does that tie in with the UK one?

What aspects have to be taken into account when creating the boundary object?

In the development of the artefact, they came together at certain points for coordination points. What is the purpose of these?

A contribution we are making is to look at the process of constructing an artefact—analysis will look at these processes.
