Ideation is the mode of the design process in which you concentrate on idea generation. We ideate in order to transition from identifying problems to creating solutions for our users.
Particularly early in a design project, ideation is about pushing for a widest possible range of ideas from which you can select, not simply finding a single, best solution.
So how to run an effective ideation session?
The Product Owner (PO) is a member of the Agile Team responsible for defining Stories and prioritizing the Team Backlog to streamline the execution of program priorities while maintaining the conceptual and technical integrity of the Features or components for the team. © Scaled Agile, Inc.
A product owner is the central point of contact for a product. It is their job to know the customer inside and out and to work with the sales and marketing teams collectively to launch a product.
Brainstorming is an activity that will help you generate more innovative ideas.
It’s one of many methods of ideation—the process of coming up with new ideas—and it’s core to the design thinking process. It’s a skill that you can build within your team and organization to help bring new ideas to life.
The main reason products fail is because they don’t meet customer needs.
Dan Olsen in his book “The Lean Product Playbook” presents his very famous product-market fit pyramid.
Dan’s definition of product-market fit—which is consistent with his—is that you have built a product that creates significant customer value. This means that your product meets real customer needs and does so in a way that is better than the alternatives.
His process guides through each layer of the pyramid from the bottom up.
Innovation is s difficult topic when we are discussing about it. Every manager top down want innovations, even sometimes not sure what it is and how it should looks like.
I was very interested when first time I found about Adobe Kickbox. Adobe managed to create program / framework that encourages and guides employees to innovate at work.
From my personal insight, this is useful for individual person too. You may go through framework in order to create your personal “startup”.
