metaphors: timing
Best timing is late Scan/early Focus, after the participants have warmed up; though can be used earlier with an experienced or especially receptive group. Give participants more time than for a typical design session, to allow for scanning, reading, then design. Two hours seems minimal; three hours about optimal.
