Description

It is a tool that enables you to simply articulate your idea or solution at an early stage. Capturing a few details on a sheet or a whiteboard can help you think through some of the basic details of your idea. The tool can also be used to compare views among different team members and helps the team to align.

Description

Step-by-step guide on how to run the activity:
1. Select an idea
Prepare the template (A0 poster or a white board) and ask participants to note down an idea of how to tackle a pre-defined problem
2. Ask questions
Questions should be posted to the participants, encouraging them to further explain or define the idea. The questions asked can be: “What is it”, “How does it work”, Why is it important to the user”
3. Answers and wrapping up
The participants should provide answers to the questions raised in the previous step. When the idea is adequately defined the facilitator can end the session. Results of the session should be summarized in an excel sheet.
