Idea Elimination

• If you have lots of ideas the choice of development may becomedifficult. Idea elimination help to discard ideas that may looksgenius but does not respond to basic organizationalrequirements. Go/No Go is a common practice for ideaelimination.

Go/No Go Criteria• Create a Go/No Go list of criteria.• Split your list into 2 categories:• Institutional criteria would set the

limits set byinstitutional policy and politic.• Challenge specific criteria to

respond to the constrainsof the development team by institutional policy and politic.

Non Exception• Go/No Go aims in validating ideas

without evaluation.• The idea either pass or fail.• If an idea fail a single criteria, the

idea is definitively discarded.

Change Criteria• If the criteria are too strict, too

many ideas will getdiscarded. • Reversely if the criteria are too

soft very fewideas would be eliminated.• Consider revising your criteria if

needed.
