brainstorming

To turn vague ideas into clear design directions, coordinate structured brainstorming sessions that apply iterative questioning to discover requirements, enforce a design gate, and capture decisions for a ready-to-use spec.

Creating a design doc with an implementation plan requires a structured inquiry workflow that surfaces user intent, explores 2-3 approaches with trade-offs, and generates documentation for development handoff.

Structured inquiry for requirements discovery works by asking clarifying questions one at a time to refine goals, ensuring user intent and design constraints are fully surfaced before any implementation begins.

Yes, you can use this brainstorming process for product and software projects that require discovery, as it enforces a hard design gate and delivers a formal specification with an implementation plan.

You need a design specification before development to establish a disciplined workflow that captures trade-offs and decisions, preventing scope creep and ensuring implementation aligns with discovered requirements.
