  - discuss findings and experiences,
  - provide each other with feedback
- Follow small design cycles:
  - analyzing problem, designing solution, developing solution, implement solution, evaluate solution,
  - where each step might involve tinkering, piloting, calibrating, improving, optimizing, and so on
