Abstract

This paper presents a technique for system redesign called Priority Workshop. The technique aims at widening the circle of decision makers, avoiding arbitrary decisions, and providing an arena for making priorities transparent to those who are affected. Priority Workshop has been conducted in a software company co-operating with several user organisations. The example presented, indicates that Priority Workshops may be a valuable means for users to influence the redesign process.
