Set aside ideas or disagreements

When planning what points you want to discuss, don't forget to create an "idea parking lot" — a space for ideas that don't fit your discussion points. This allows you to save valuable ideas while keeping the debrief session on topic.

What kinds of ideas go into the parking lot?

• Questions about the debrief method. It is super distracting for others to brainstorm and listen to questions at the same time.
• Possible solutions. A debrief session is the time to explore insights but keep proposed ideas in the parking lot for later follow-up.
• Disagreements.
• Any ideas that don't fit into the predetermined topics.

You can address the parking lot later, for example, during the synthesis session.
