Brainstorming

Before implementing anything non-trivial, brainstorm first.

The Process

Step 1: Restate the Goal

Write what you are actually trying to achieve in 1-2 sentences.

Step 2: Generate Options (minimum 3)

List at least 3 different approaches. Include approaches that seem impractical.

For each option:

  • What makes it appealing
  • What risks or downsides it carries
  • What unknowns would need to be resolved

Step 3: Evaluate

Score each option against: Simplicity, Reversibility, Risk, Speed.

Step 4: Pick and Commit

Choose one approach. State why. Then move to writing-plans.
