The Weekly ReBoot - Mini Hack #20 The Rules of Brainstorming
The weekly ReBoot your regular Friday de-brief of things we’ve heard and seen coming from the Agile Community here in Melbourne and beyond.
Another mini hack today which is from the Design Thinking body of knowledge and the masters of Design Thinking - IDEO, and that is The Rules of Brainstorming.
Brainstorming is one of those things that gets thrown about a lot as a technique. But it can often descend into just a flurry of ideas or conversation without any resolution or purpose. OR even worse self/censoring or censoring other people’s ideas can yield an atmosphere where the best and most creative contributions never make it to the table.
The Brainstorming Rules:
Defer Judgement
Encourage wild ideas
Build on other’s ideas
Stay on Topic
One conversation at a time
Be visual
Go for quantity
