Describe a situation in which JAD would be ideal.

What will be an ideal response?

Students should describe one of the following situations: (1) User groups are restless and want something new, not a standard solution to a typical problem, (2) The organizational culture supports joint problem-solving behaviors among multiple levels of employees, (3) Analysts forecast that the number of ideas generated via one-on-one interviews will not be as plentiful as the number of ideas possible from an extended group exercise, or (4) Organizational workflow permits the absence of key personnel during a two-to-four-day block of time.
