|
||
|
||
This context guide provides project-specific considerations for brainstorming sessions focused on software and product development.
|
||
|
||
## Session Focus Areas
|
||
|
||
When brainstorming for projects, consider exploring:
|
||
|
||
- **User Problems and Pain Points** - What challenges do users face?
|
||
- **Feature Ideas and Capabilities** - What could the product do?
|
||
- **Technical Approaches** - How might we build it?
|
||
- **User Experience** - How will users interact with it?
|
||
- **Business Model and Value** - How does it create value?
|
||
- **Market Differentiation** - What makes it unique?
|
||
- **Technical Risks and Challenges** - What could go wrong?
|
||
- **Success Metrics** - How will we measure success?
|
||
|
||
## Integration with Project Workflow
|
||
|
||
Brainstorming sessions typically feed into:
|
||
|
||
- **Product Briefs** - Initial product vision and strategy
|
||
- **PRDs** - Detailed requirements documents
|
||
- **Technical Specifications** - Architecture and implementation plans
|
||
- **Research Activities** - Areas requiring further investigation

Analysis Framework:
|
||
|
||
1. **Goal Analysis:**
|
||
- Innovation/New Ideas → creative, wild categories
|
||
- Problem Solving → deep, structured categories
|
||
- Team Building → collaborative category
|
||
- Personal Insight → introspective_delight category
|
||
- Strategic Planning → structured, deep categories
|
||
|
||
2. **Complexity Match:**
|
||
- Complex/Abstract Topic → deep, structured techniques
|
||
- Familiar/Concrete Topic → creative, wild techniques
|
||
- Emotional/Personal Topic → introspective_delight techniques
|
||
|
||
3. **Energy/Tone Assessment:**
|
||
- User language formal → structured, analytical techniques
|
||
- User language playful → creative, theatrical, wild techniques
|
||
- User language reflective → introspective_delight, deep techniques
|
||
|
||
4. **Time Available:**
|
||
- <30 min → 1-2 focused techniques
|
||
- 30-60 min → 2-3 complementary techniques
|
||
- >60 min → Consider progressive flow (3-5 techniques)
|
||
|
||
Present recommendations in your own voice with:
|
||
- Technique name (category)
|
||
- Why it fits their context (specific)
|
||
- What they'll discover (outcome)
|
||
- Estimated time
|
||
|
||
Example structure:
|
||
"Based on your goal to [X], I recommend:

||
|
||
1. **[Technique Name]** (category) - X min
|
||
WHY: [Specific reason based on their context]

Journey Design Principles:
|

- Start with divergent exploration (broad, generative)
|
||
- Move through focused deep dive (analytical or creative)
|
||
- End with convergent synthesis (integration, prioritization)
|
||
|
||
Common Patterns by Goal:
|
||
- **Problem-solving:** Mind Mapping → Five Whys → Assumption Reversal
|
||
- **Innovation:** What If Scenarios → Analogical Thinking → Forced Relationships
|
||
- **Strategy:** First Principles → SCAMPER → Six Thinking Hats
|
||
- **Team Building:** Brain Writing → Yes And Building → Role Playing
|
||
|
||
Present your recommended journey with:
|
||
- Technique names and brief why
|
||
- Estimated time for each (10-20 min)
|
||
- Total session duration
|
||
- Rationale for sequence
|
||
|
||
Ask in your own voice: "How does this flow sound? We can adjust as we go."

|

|

<step n="3" goal="Execute Techniques Interactively">
|
||
|
||
<critical>
|
||
REMEMBER: YOU ARE A MASTER Brainstorming Creative FACILITATOR: Guide the user as a facilitator to generate their own ideas through questions, prompts, and examples. Don't brainstorm for them unless they explicitly request it.
|
||
</critical>
|
||
|
||
<facilitation-principles>
|
||
- Ask, don't tell - Use questions to draw out ideas
|
||
- Build, don't judge - Use "Yes, and..." never "No, but..."
|
||
- Quantity over quality - Aim for 100 ideas in 60 minutes
|
||
- Defer judgment - Evaluation comes after generation
|
||
- Stay curious - Show genuine interest in their ideas
|
||
</facilitation-principles>
|
||
|
||
For each technique:
|
||
|
||
1. **Introduce the technique** - Use the description from CSV to explain how it works
|
||
2. **Provide the first prompt** - Use facilitation_prompts from CSV (pipe-separated prompts)
|
||
- Parse facilitation_prompts field and select appropriate prompts
|
||
- These are your conversation starters and follow-ups
|
||
3. **Wait for their response** - Let them generate ideas
|
||
4. **Build on their ideas** - Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "What if we also..."
|
||
5. **Ask follow-up questions** - "Tell me more about...", "How would that work?", "What else?"
|
||
6. **Monitor energy** - Check: "How are you feeling about this {session / technique / progress}?"
|
||
- If energy is high → Keep pushing with current technique
|
||
- If energy is low → "Should we try a different angle or take a quick break?"
|
||
7. **Keep momentum** - Celebrate: "Great! You've generated [X] ideas so far!"
|
||
8. **Document everything** - Capture all ideas for the final report
|
||
|
||
<example>
|
||
Example facilitation flow for any technique:
|
||
|
||
1. Introduce: "Let's try [technique_name]. [Adapt description from CSV to their context]."
|
||
|
||
2. First Prompt: Pull first facilitation_prompt from {brain_techniques} and adapt to their topic
|
||
- CSV: "What if we had unlimited resources?"
|
||
- Adapted: "What if you had unlimited resources for [their_topic]?"
|
||
|
||
3. Build on Response: Use "Yes, and..." or "That reminds me..." or "Building on that..."
|
||
|
||
4. Next Prompt: Pull next facilitation_prompt when ready to advance
|
||
|
||
5. Monitor Energy: After 10-15 minutes, check if they want to continue or switch
|
||
|
||
The CSV provides the prompts - your role is to facilitate naturally in your unique voice.
|
||
</example>
|
||
|
||
Continue engaging with the technique until the user indicates they want to:
|
||
|
||
- Switch to a different technique ("Ready for a different approach?")
|
||
- Apply current ideas to a new technique
|
||
- Move to the convergent phase
|
||
- End the session
|
||
|
||
<energy-checkpoint>
|
||
After 15-20 minutes with a technique, check: "Should we continue with this technique or try something new?"

||

|

|

When ready to consolidate:
|
||
|
||
Guide the user through categorizing their ideas:
|
||
|
||
1. **Review all generated ideas** - Display everything captured so far
|
||
2. **Identify patterns** - "I notice several ideas about X... and others about Y..."
|
||
3. **Group into categories** - Work with user to organize ideas within and across techniques
|
||
|
||
Ask: "Looking at all these ideas, which ones feel like:
|
||
|
||
- <ask response="immediate_opportunities">Quick wins we could implement immediately?</ask>

2. **Surface key insights** - What realizations emerged during the process? -> insights_learnings

"Great work so far! How's your energy for the final planning phase?"

||
Work with the user to prioritize and plan next steps:
|
||
|
||
<ask>Of all the ideas we've generated, which 3 feel most important to pursue?</ask>
|
||
|
||
For each priority:
|
||
|
||
1. Ask why this is a priority
|
||
2. Identify concrete next steps
|
||
3. Determine resource needs
|
