WHAT IS IMPORTANT?
On the third day, we want to develop as many ideas as possible. With the help of different methods, the existing knowledge will be used to develop new concepts. In a creative approach, the team will agree on the best ideas and develop a joined solution. The main goal is to develop a storyboard and to decide on the final idea. The main objective on this day is to identify a central approach, which will be maintained throughout the sprint to ensure the highest possible coverage. In the end, we will have a description of the central functions, the new process, the data models and a focus on technologies.
METHODS
635 Method
We generate ideas and cluster them afterwards. Going for quantity.
You can, of course, adapt the method if the number of participants does not fit groups of six.
We asked ourselves which functions should be implemented into the platform. We gather a total of 2×108 possible functions. We clustered these 216 functions into the topics best practices, newsletter, media, events, studies, database, search function, company profiles, project development, product profiles and community.
Walt Disney Method
We look at the ideas from different perspectives. The team is divided into groups of 3. Each team forms a circle and the roles of the dreamer, the realist and the critic are assigned to each chair.
Step 1: The groups take a seat and begin to discuss.
Within each group, one participant takes on the role of the dreamer.
The dreamer dreams the wildest dreams. It does not matter if the ideas are realistic or not. The question the dreamer asks himself is: “What do we want?”.
Within each group, one participant takes on the role of the realist.
The realist pretends the idea of the dreamer is possible and starts planning. The question he asks himself is: “How can we apply this idea in reality?”
Within each group, one participant takes on the role of the critic. The critic analyses the action plan and points out possible obstacles. The goal is to find possible flaws.
Decision Making
We opt for a central idea. A great tool for decision making is dcsion.
