Brainstorming in Project Management (How to Conduct Brainstorming Meetings like a PRO)

[@ITProjectManagers]

🔥 There’s one skill that separates great IT Project Managers from everyone else-project tailoring. Most project managers get stuck trying to learn every new tool and process out there. They dive deep into theories but still struggle to deliver projects on time and within budget. It’s frustrating. The truth is, great project managers don’t try to do it all-they focus on tailoring simple processes and tools that work best for their team and projects. That’s what creates transparency, predictability, and results. But here’s the thing-tailoring isn’t just guessing what might work. It’s about knowing three critical components: 1) Understanding project management on a deeper level. 2) Knowing exactly what to tailor. 3) Applying it effectively in real companies with real people. That’s why I created the Professional Development Plan for IT Project Managers-to help you master project tailoring and finally become the project manager who delivers every time, no matter the challenge. ✅ Click the link below to get your development plan now and take the next step toward mastering project management. itpmschool.com/get-plan?

I'm curious about the fact that you mentioned 1) Don't Judge others' ideas and 2) Don't discuss ideas. If we don't discuss ideas and judge others' ideas from a different point of view, how can pick which ideas are the best solution for the problem we are discussing? I love your sharing! it's very practical.

Hi Clark, Good question. So, "Don’t judge" and "don’t discuss" applies to the first phase of brainstorming when you collect ideas. At this stage you want to note down any idea that the team generates. Sometimes crazy ideas invoke thinking our of the box. So, you want to allow the team to pull out all the ideas out their heads. After that, yes, you should select the most sound ideas and discuss them.
