Brainstorming
Developers should use brainstorming during the initial phases of projects, such as requirement gathering, feature ideation, or problem-solving sessions, to collaboratively explore diverse solutions and foster team alignment
Pros
- +It is particularly valuable when facing complex challenges, designing user experiences, or planning technical architectures, as it helps uncover hidden assumptions and sparks creative insights that might not emerge through individual analysis alone
- +Related to: design-thinking, agile-methodologies
