Ideate

The ideation stage is where you brainstorm and come up with different ideas to solve the problem you’ve identified and validated. After understanding your users' needs, it’s time to think of various ways to address those needs. This stage is all about creativity, and no idea is off-limits.

You can use techniques like brainstorming, where you generate as many ideas as possible, mind mapping, which helps you visually organize thoughts and connections, or sketching, where you draw out ideas to see how they might work. You can do this alone or with your team. The goal is to explore a wide range of solutions before narrowing down to the most promising ones.
