  1. Brainstorming • Powerful tool for design teams • Used to generate ideas in a group • Can be used on any sub-problem • It is best after knowing the main design requirements

  2. Ground Rules • Relax • Have fun • Support not criticize

  3. Ground Rules • No boundaries • Completely free your mind • No limits on the number of ideas • Fragmented ideas OK • Just keywords OK

  4. Ground Rules • No criticizing (during or after) • No evaluating or dismissing • No dismissing EVEN your own ideas • No “You must be joking” looks or comments

  5. Ground Rules • Explain quickly (few seconds) • No questions • Let ideas you don’t understand go • Speed is the key • Important is “Association” not “Viability”

  10. Idea Trigger Method • Phase II: Idea Trigger Phase • Leader calls each member for their ideas. • Team members cross out shared ideas. • Each idea as read may trigger other ideas in other members who write them down quickly on a second page. • After the first round, the members repeat the reading process for the second sheet and more until no new ideas are triggered.

  11. Idea Trigger Method • Phase III: Compilation • Members compile and classify ideas into a master list and distribute it.
