brainstorm

To turn vague ideas into a concrete design doc, you use guided brainstorming that explores project context, asks clarifying questions, proposes approaches, and requires user approval before drafting the final design documentation.

Facilitating brainstorming for requirements involves surfacing assumptions through clarifying questions posed one at a time, then proposing 2-3 approaches with trade-offs and recommendations to align stakeholders before proceeding to design documentation.

Guided brainstorming transitions into implementation planning by presenting design sections, obtaining explicit user approval, writing the design doc, performing a self-review, and then triggering a controlled handoff to the planning step.

Yes, you can align stakeholders and refine goals before writing a design doc by exploring project context to surface constraints, asking clarifying questions to establish success criteria, and proposing multiple approaches for approval.

Yes, the brainstorming process enforces a design self-review to ensure clarity and completeness after the design doc is written, requiring user approval before performing a controlled handoff to implementation planning.

You need to propose 2-3 approaches during design planning after clarifying questions have refined goals and success criteria, allowing stakeholders to evaluate trade-offs and recommendations before the final design presentation.
