Idea elimination tool

1. Idea Elimination

2. • If you have lots of ideas the choice of development may become
difficult. Idea elimination help to discard ideas that may looks
genius but does not respond to basic organizational
requirements. Go/No Go is a common practice for idea
elimination.

4. 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 by
institutional policy and politic.
• Challenge specific criteria to
respond to the constrains
of the development team by
institutional policy and politic.

5. 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.

6. Change Criteria
• If the criteria are too strict, too
many ideas will get
discarded.
• Reversely if the criteria are too
soft very few
ideas would be eliminated.
• Consider revising your criteria if
needed.
