How do you generate ideas? Will you try the 10-For-10 exercise to cut through busy meetings? Let us know in the comments below! Check out our latest productivity video here: ua-cam.com/video/ny8YvdDmsFo/v-deo.html
Absolutely impressed with every video you'll share... forget abt the technique (it's hands down always great), just the intent behind it is amazing... SHARING KNOWLEDGE... you'll are awesome!!!! I use this technique at work and i call it the Design Jam... ;) coz most of the time we'll be solving design problems... :)
This is very inspiring! I tried this yesterday with my team yesterday. As we all do remote work, so we used Figma to simulate the whole process. First, I created some sticky note templates, let the teammates create an empty page to write things on the notes. The Next step, the facilitator, which is me myself, collect all the notes and put them on the main page. (we call it brainstorm lobby). Now, the funny part is to put dots on the notes. We end up with accidentally someone else's dot, kinda messy but finally, it turned out well! Though it took us 40 minutes to complete the first session. Guess next time we can do better than this.
Hey, I have a smug question: why don't you answer every single question in the comments section? Wouldn't it be better not to promise something you can't deliver on? :)
Don't think it would be better to cluster the ideas before voting? to make it easier and avoid diluting votes in good ideas that are duplicated . Thanks for the video )
I always struggle with these short timings. I've done plenty of lightning decision jam and had to increase the timings a lot. According to this video every participant should understand 50 ideas, compare them to her 10 ideas, and do all this in 180 seconds. Not realistic. I try to overcome this by reading out loud the sticky notes as the facilitator, but reading also takes a lot of time. I ask them to evaluate the ideas in their heads while I'm reading, but i haven't found the ultimate solution yet.
Hey Istvan, great to hear you’re LDJ’ing! With this exercise you can do with any sized group, each member only picks their ten best ideas, then of those, people vote on the best, you can remove the low voted dots and save then for later if you want, and only focus on the top voted ideas! You don’t need to understand ever idea, just approach the ones the group have consensus on!
I also had to increase a lot of timing to LDJs. On their mural template it says 45 minutes. Probably that is the time needed with their especialized team. When I do with clients I need from 1 hour to 1.5 hour, as I need to let them get used to the tool and work method. 1.5 hour it's a long time if compared to the 45 minutes standard, but clients are still happy with the results, so that's ok for me.
I like the recommendation of capturing ideas in a visual way and the dot voting to prioritise. However for me this structure is missing the core element of brainstorming - collaboration. Brainstorming meant to be a collaborative exercise that allows the participants to talk and build on each others ideas and inspires someone to come up with a truly new amazing insight that came from hearing what everyone else was saying earlier. This is how you end up with whole being greater than sum of the parts. I can easily see small adjustments to the meeting structure described in this video to make it collaborative. I would be interested to hear your views on this concern?
There will be many similar ideas on the board, doesn't it make sense to group the 60 "sticky notes" into themes? Like someone may write "BOOKS" and another "LIBRARY". Collectively they may have winning votes, but separately maybe not.
I was wondering this too. Maybe in the posting step, folks could call out duplications (match game!) and double up their sticky notes some way. Don’t want to get into a long categorization stage, but some simple clumping might be useful.
I agree. As a facilitator you can either cluster them yourself or get the group to cluster (which is also a great way for them to get more about the ideas into their heads than they would by just silently reading to themselves).
You should share what you think your worst ideas are first, and make sure they are crazy and ridiculous, as an opener. It relaxes the team, they get a good laugh, and people can see that everyone can have some bad or crazy ideas. It might be more efficient in new teams as just an ice breaker...
I have a few questions: 1-) When people are sticking their own posts, all the participants are watching he(her) doing it? In this case, all participants will know which idea is from. This will kinda influence the result s. Or is it done ins a way participants cants see it? ==> Maybe turning the flipchart can partially solve this. 2-) When goes to voting I guess that the follow the crowd effect can happen.When people tend to choose the winner to follow. So hugely interfering on clear results. ===> Maybe giving each post-it a code (number), and each voter notes for himself on a papel the ideas numbers they liked the most and the number of its 10 votes desired for each. And after that the facilitator can put on board the voting results. Does that above makes any sense or have any value?
When it's time to put the stickies on the board, just ask participants to first put them on the table in a pile. Then the facilitator in front of the group mixes them up. Everybody should use the same colour pens so they can't identify one particular person's notes.
Love this. Big fan of your vids - both the content and delivery. You're super bright, likeable and authentic. So many content creators are bright but agonising to watch because they try too hard. You've found magic.
I am in love with this note and vote concept! It's stupid simple, you think that people would be using it more. I am a big fan of these workshop videos and really enjoy the case studies!
What if people don't generate 10+ ideas... When I facilitate sprints many folks struggle to come up with 8 ideas during crazy 8. I can anticipate this would be the case here. You are fine with us refining based on the audience, reducing it to 5? Also I agree with others on calling out the duplicates before voting to avoid confusion while voting
I was looking for more videos about this and I recently made a comment of brainstorming but apparently, u already made it hahaha I came from this video "What Is Design Thinking? An Overview (2020)"
How about 'how would a think tank of entrepreneurial astrologers come together to figure out dynamic new ways to use astrology to provide services to help people in their day-to-day lives? Or indeed create new forms of astrology?' I am a passionate astrology enthusiast/aspirinng artist/astrologer/entrepreneur 😁
I would be tempted to group any duplicate/similar ideas when people are sharing. Otherwise if the same idea appears twice (or more) and each person votes for a different version of the same idea, the votes will be diluted and so the truly popular idea won't emerge with the most votes finally.
I believe that this video should not be taken seriously. I will take it as a joke in bad taste. I suggest you focused on Desing sprint and improve because there are several things to be improved unless you defined the sprint design just to create web sites. So far this is what sprint design is for.
Great stuff. What makes these work best is a great cohesive culture. IE having fun working together or social times together etc. Because if the culture is quicksand, any collob session only highlights that. Im a HUGE fan of quick and sharp energetic meetings that don't last an hour. So much more gets done in very little time. Keep up the great work.
I like to add the task of each person reading out their ideas as they post them. If the team has the instruction to cluster like ideas as they post, it forces them to listen to the other ideas rather than just waiting for their turn to speak. Voting can then be done by cluster rather than individual post-it. Additionally, the reading out loud of ideas could stimulate other ideas (or "yes ands" related to an existing idea) and these could then be added to the wall. My 2c :)
@@AJSmart not much longer than the group having to read/decipher/understand the written post-its. And it creates a bit more excitement about the process and the ideas. If you extend the workshop to 30mins, you could do a formal "yes and" exercise for the top 3 ideas. Post the 3 ideas at the top of the board and then everyone adds new elements to the idea (1 per post-it), also reading out loud to the group.
Thanks for the video :) wouldn't allowing to vote for your own ideas would bias the vote though? (some people are just more confident) I think voters should not vote for themselves.
Agree. I see zero disadvantages on not allowing to vote on own ideas, but a potentially severe problem if that would be allowed. Some personalities might be less open minded thus more likely to vote on own ideas. The ideas of the less open minded are equally important, but it's a mistake to allow their personality to expectedly create that voting problem.
Really like the exercise and these kind of practical workshop activity vids are great. Question - with a less creative group, do you think cutting step 2 down to having them only choose their top 3-5 ideas would work?
This is a regular occurrence with groups that are hesitant to just throw ideas out there. Students, faculty member, administrators, ... anyone new to this way of working. Picking some number that’s still a stretch, but not overwhelming to the middle of the pack seems like a great way to modify this technique and make it more accessible to a less adventurous crowd. AND it would move their tolerance up a notch, especially if they saved a ton of time _and_ got good ideas to consider _and_ developed some consensus.
Good point Toluwase, this is just a workshop to kick off and generate ideas though. As it only takes ten minutes, you can do multiple runs of the workshop to ideate for different themes / topics! Still probably saving time on an unstructured meeting!
why isn't it important to eliminate duplicates? if you don't you might get a few votes on the same idea spanned over multiple post its, as a result that idea doesn't make it to the top because it looks like less only spread out
Honestly, it'll just waste time. If people vote along the same lines but on different post it, this even more validates what you should move ahead with.
So I am a visionary if nothing else! 😁 I have been into astrology for over 25 years though most parts all too casually. Not entirely proficient in many things specifically. But I'm fascinated by the concept of brainstorming and I've got the heart of a creator. And I think I would be a polymath if I tried a lot harder! As it stands I've just got a lot of eccentric hobbies! 😂😂 But astrology is very salient to me therefore my belief in it is absolute and that gives me super power in and of itself but that's another story! I think astrology is a noble pursuit and I believe it can help people in profound ways! I mean to find new ways to help people with life with it! And I'm convinced I'm on to something big! Astrology is just stupid-crazy popular and it's star is only on the rise, pun intended! 🙄 Life is full of fate and astrology is the ultimate causality. All other cause and effect fall in line behind the when? and where? of what's going on in the heavens! it's just something that I've seen evidenced too many times and for too long to have need to debate it with myself any longer. I make no pretense about my command of all the knowledge of it, or lack thereof! But I pal around with a lot of astrologers online! And I mean to form a guild of them to brainstorm creative and dynamic and new ways to use it! Lots of people just love it to death and I'm convinced that I can help myself and others find gainful employment all while helping people along the way! I'm very impulsive however--the fact that you mentioned that you respond to all your messages capture my imagination so fast that I post the video before even watching it too test that out! 😂😂😂 I will continue on to the video now! And happy New year's! I'm very much hoping this one will be a productive one!
This session was incredibly relatable and easy to understand ❤️ Question: Is it beneficial to include the client in brainstorming sessions? Could you also share the pros and cons of having the client participate?
Great job, the post'n'vote is a great alternative to endless circular misaligned discussion, plus it quickly aligns people with distributed embarrassingly parallel efficiency. My only question, how best to do it in ms-teams, google-meetings, zoom, etc.
That's amazing!!! I have a very very shy class, I tried to encourage them in a debate before and it was a failure, they work much better in non-spoken tasks. I will definitely try this next time.
I squeeze my brain to come out 20 ides within 1 hour. Most of time, I got 12 - 17 ideas. After that, I've got headache. My question is my brain can get damaged or not like this action ??
THREE points stand out here: * Simple to explain & simple to carry out. * MUST produce something - in spite of: Lttle time and v few resources used. * BTW No temptation to cheat and NO unpleasant politics.
Hey Jonathan, I have a very basic question here - while voting, don't you think people will be biased to the one sticky note that already has good amount of votes (might be a hindrance/influence on their)
@AJ&Smart I love this process and I have stared to use this via a Miro board. Two questions to help improve my process. When voting how many votes per participant is the right amount? is there a ratio you use. Too few may not yeild enough results, too many may get too many and take a lot longer. Question two. Instead of dots, in Miro is it better to use the vote feature? I got feedback from a participant that voting annonymously would prevent the influence of seeing something getting a lot of votes. What do you think about that?
I rally like the concept of working alone together. Eliminating pointless and endless discussions is key. You talked about the next step ( executing) and it would be awesome if you do the video for that workshop. 🙂🙂
Enjoyed this video. I need ways to apply something like this when brainstorming creative ideas for ads. Do you have any vids geared toward that topic? Something that will help us not get bogged down with tons of ideas that really dont fit the brand. The team I am on seem to take hours to come up with concepts, and I know we can run these meetings better. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks!
Nice Concept, but I think you miss a critical criteria of brainstorming and that is in a group, members should hook up on each other ideas. Brainstorming is to form a collaborations of minds of the participants. In this concept each person need to come with ideas of their own.
How would you do this when doing a brainstorm online? Since there is (in my country at least) a rule now for not going to offices anymore but working from home. But we still want to do brainstorm sessions, and this idea sounds very handy! Any tips?
Cool technique. What is your experience with so many post its to vote on? Isn´t 3 minutes a bit tight? What do you think of "burning" a percentage of the notes before the actual voting happens?
Nice ideas! Anything magical about 10 ideas? For a group of 5 or 6 or more, that could be a lot to go through. Why not go with top 5 or even 3 to start with so people have to filter a tiny bit before the group engages?
Thank you so much, I've really like this video, It's really help me. I'm already liked, subscribed and bell all alerts. please do more video like this.
I like this. The only thing I wonder about is it seems to leave out ideas that came from other people's ideas. What do you do if people have more ideas that come up from reading the sticks?
Thanks for another great workshop vid. This covers the "What" problem solving. I assume the execution video you mention at the end will cover the "How"? Would that be another how might we exercise?
Great to see LDJ adapted for brainstorming meetings! How about a link to download a pdf with the timing and voting details and a link to this video and related videos.
Thanks a lot for this video and all the others. There is one thing, I would like to ask: you are always assuming, that participants understand what others have written on the sticky notes, which is not always the case, as I saw, when conducting workshops. How do you proceed, when that happens? (Going through all the sticky notes together at least doubles the time of the exercise)
Hey David! Ideally all the notes remain anonymous, that's why it's important to stress that people try to communicate their ideas clearly - and maybe give them a few examples (dos and don'ts). However, of course it's fine to ask people to explain if something seems interesting but unclear. It's also fine to skip them if the facilitator thinks other stickies communicate the same, or a similar idea in a better way. Sometimes it's up to the facilitator to make a call how important it is to put the spotlight on an idea As a facilitator, you should also take a look around what everyone is working on, and if some participants struggle to communicate their ideas in a way that's understandable to others without presenting them, remind everyone of dos and don'ts, best practices etc. (without specifically calling any participant out)
HMW do this exercise with only one team member? Is it possible? I know brainstorming should be a collaborative activity, but in my case I'm working solo. Any advice?
That's more tricky given the voting element. What about some kind of social media poll on Facebook or Instagram to gain insights on your ideas from follows / friends / family etc ?
I don't quite get how you're dealing with duplicates people voted for. Are their votes calculated together when it comes to the decreasing order of top votes? It seems as if this voted list of ideas gives a final result of the exploration. What about combining and developing ideas?
You can for sure, this is just simply about generating and prioritising ideas in 10 minutes. With more time you can flesh the other ideas out further later on.
Hi Jonathan, this is very cool! I discovered your channel when researching the design sprint framework, and I was wondering if you have any advice on using the note-and-vote method in a Scrum sprint planning/backlog refinement setting. As a project manager, I often find myself struggling with getting through a list of stories planned for these sessions because the team tends to get carried away by design and technical detail discussions. I want to try to implement this method and eliminate these painful discussions, but I'm not sure what should the team be voting for in this case. Should I ask everyone to think of 10 ways to implement a certain story/ address a requirement, and then vote? Also, no talking means no Q&A. What if people have questions about their teammates’ ideas and don't feel confident to cast their vote before those questions are answered? Sorry about the length of this comment. Thanks for making these videos!
Hey Wilson, the 2.0 term was used to describe us iterating from 5 days down to 4 among a few other things. So in short there are some further changes yes... We're actually going to be revisiting ALL our Sprint videos in the near future to provide the very latest updates to the process! Stay posted!
How do you generate ideas? Will you try the 10-For-10 exercise to cut through busy meetings? Let us know in the comments below!

This session was incredibly relatable and easy to understand ❤️
Question: Is it beneficial to include the client in brainstorming sessions? Could you also share the pros and cons of having the client participate?
Hello. I really like this method. Do you think that reducing it to 5-for-5 in a bigger group of people (16) would have negative effect on results?
Do you like Enzo Waters?
Great job, the post'n'vote is a great alternative to endless circular misaligned discussion, plus it quickly aligns people with distributed embarrassingly parallel efficiency. My only question, how best to do it in ms-teams, google-meetings, zoom, etc.
what up

That's amazing!!! I have a very very shy class, I tried to encourage them in a debate before and it was a failure, they work much better in non-spoken tasks. I will definitely try this next time.
I squeeze my brain to come out 20 ides within 1 hour. Most of time, I got 12 - 17 ideas. After that, I've got headache. My question is my brain can get damaged or not like this action ??
THREE points stand out here:
* Simple to explain & simple to carry out.
* MUST produce something - in spite of: Lttle time and v few resources used.
* BTW No temptation to cheat and NO unpleasant politics.
Hey Jonathan, I have a very basic question here - while voting, don't you think people will be biased to the one sticky note that already has good amount of votes (might be a hindrance/influence on their)
@AJ&Smart I love this process and I have stared to use this via a Miro board. Two questions to help improve my process. When voting how many votes per participant is the right amount? is there a ratio you use. Too few may not yeild enough results, too many may get too many and take a lot longer. Question two. Instead of dots, in Miro is it better to use the vote feature? I got feedback from a participant that voting annonymously would prevent the influence of seeing something getting a lot of votes. What do you think about that?
I rally like the concept of working alone together. Eliminating pointless and endless discussions is key. You talked about the next step ( executing) and it would be awesome if you do the video for that workshop. 🙂🙂
Hey Gabriel! Thanks, it's a big concept here for sure! We'd be happy to do a short intro to it!
Enjoyed this video. I need ways to apply something like this when brainstorming creative ideas for ads. Do you have any vids geared toward that topic? Something that will help us not get bogged down with tons of ideas that really dont fit the brand. The team I am on seem to take hours to come up with concepts, and I know we can run these meetings better. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks!
This is brilliant ... thank you. Where do you have the videos on prioritizing and execution?
Nice Concept, but I think you miss a critical criteria of brainstorming and that is in a group, members should hook up on each other ideas. Brainstorming is to form a collaborations of minds of the participants. In this concept each person need to come with ideas of their own.
How would you do this when doing a brainstorm online? Since there is (in my country at least) a rule now for not going to offices anymore but working from home. But we still want to do brainstorm sessions, and this idea sounds very handy! Any tips?
Hey guys. Niceee videos you hace in your channel, im a big fan 😍😍. But i have a question. What is the font you use in your logo? Plz
Cool technique. What is your experience with so many post its to vote on? Isn´t 3 minutes a bit tight?
What do you think of "burning" a percentage of the notes before the actual voting happens?
Nice ideas! Anything magical about 10 ideas? For a group of 5 or 6 or more, that could be a lot to go through. Why not go with top 5 or even 3 to start with so people have to filter a tiny bit before the group engages?
Very good video. Any thought on number of meeting participants?
I assume 5-8 is would be optimal.
Thank you so much, I've really like this video, It's really help me.
I'm already liked, subscribed and bell all alerts. please do more video like this.
I like this. The only thing I wonder about is it seems to leave out ideas that came from other people's ideas. What do you do if people have more ideas that come up from reading the sticks?
Thank you formthis graet video , explain and ease of communication and information ❤
外国的朋友请自行翻译
想法很好也很结构，有几个观点，我做个称述
1、10分钟的时间比较理想？
2、”强制不交流”是否让参与者满意？
如果仅仅用来向管理者呈现观点，是可以的，不过，总是觉得有点独裁的感觉
如果在中国，这个方法的时间至少要30分钟
GENIUS! Pure, simple, highly efficient, genius! I've SUBSCRIBED ALL! Thank you!
Tips for taking this into a virtual world? I love this method, but my team is now remote!
Nice! Straight fire!
What kind of workshop would you use to build on this?
This is a well Known technique called DESIGN STUDIO
Thanks for another great workshop vid. This covers the "What" problem solving. I assume the execution video you mention at the end will cover the "How"? Would that be another how might we exercise?
How this is different from LJD, apart from Impact and Effort?
Very interested video
Is there a video that solves the HMW questions or discussions to solve the problem?
Cool idea. I have a question How we can think a project requirement in product perspective ?
What do the follow-up meetings/exercises look like to execute on these ideas?
Can you see this working in a current Covid 19 online teaching scenario?
Estoy agradecida con todas las noticias y mensajes positivos e inspirado, instructivo de gran calidad, bendiciones 🥰🙏

Great to see LDJ adapted for brainstorming meetings!
How about a link to download a pdf with the timing and voting details and a link to this video and related videos.
I love it! (Maybe it was a bit long video, but it's a great tool ... thank you! 🧡
Thanks a lot for this video and all the others. There is one thing, I would like to ask: you are always assuming, that participants understand what others have written on the sticky notes, which is not always the case, as I saw, when conducting workshops. How do you proceed, when that happens? (Going through all the sticky notes together at least doubles the time of the exercise)
Hey David! Ideally all the notes remain anonymous, that's why it's important to stress that people try to communicate their ideas clearly - and maybe give them a few examples (dos and don'ts).
However, of course it's fine to ask people to explain if something seems interesting but unclear.
It's also fine to skip them if the facilitator thinks other stickies communicate the same, or a similar idea in a better way. Sometimes it's up to the facilitator to make a call how important it is to put the spotlight on an idea
As a facilitator, you should also take a look around what everyone is working on, and if some participants struggle to communicate their ideas in a way that's understandable to others without presenting them, remind everyone of dos and don'ts, best practices etc. (without specifically calling any participant out)
Is there a web app that allows you to do this exercise with a remote team?
HMW do this exercise with only one team member? Is it possible? I know brainstorming should be a collaborative activity, but in my case I'm working solo. Any advice?
That's more tricky given the voting element. What about some kind of social media poll on Facebook or Instagram to gain insights on your ideas from follows / friends / family etc ?
Amazing technique, I so appreciate your work
Hello AJ& Smart how u have have started your journey as design thinker.
U have done a certification cource or master degree?
Please help me out.... I want to be a design thinker
I don't quite get how you're dealing with duplicates people voted for. Are their votes calculated together when it comes to the decreasing order of top votes?
It seems as if this voted list of ideas gives a final result of the exploration. What about combining and developing ideas?
You can for sure, this is just simply about generating and prioritising ideas in 10 minutes. With more time you can flesh the other ideas out further later on.
Loved this approach mainly because people sometimes try to impose their ideas. It's an elegant way to deal with this problem.
Thanks, enjoy these focused short meeting ideas
I feel this would work only if there are many attendees to generate many ideas to actually vote on. Perhaps not feasible with a 3-4 person meeting.
In our experience it works with even 2 people so you should give it a go anyway and see what comes out of it!
Fantastic Workshop!
How duplicate solutions are managed? Are removed before the Vote session?
Great question Alessandro! Yeh you can simply double them up under each other.
Awesome video!! Congratulations!!
supremely ironic that it takes 14 minutes to explain this 30 second concept. /unsubscribe
sorry to see you go
Hi Jonathan, this is very cool! I discovered your channel when researching the design sprint framework, and I was wondering if you have any advice on using the note-and-vote method in a Scrum sprint planning/backlog refinement setting.
As a project manager, I often find myself struggling with getting through a list of stories planned for these sessions because the team tends to get carried away by design and technical detail discussions. I want to try to implement this method and eliminate these painful discussions, but I'm not sure what should the team be voting for in this case. Should I ask everyone to think of 10 ways to implement a certain story/ address a requirement, and then vote? Also, no talking means no Q&A. What if people have questions about their teammates’ ideas and don't feel confident to cast their vote before those questions are answered?
Sorry about the length of this comment. Thanks for making these videos!
The best part is where he says "col-a-bor-a-tive"
Hi AJ, is your design sprint 2.0 still the same process in 2020? Did any of the steps been updated?
Hey Wilson, the 2.0 term was used to describe us iterating from 5 days down to 4 among a few other things. So in short there are some further changes yes... We're actually going to be revisiting ALL our Sprint videos in the near future to provide the very latest updates to the process! Stay posted!
