During a project, the team encounters a complex problem that requires creative solutions. The project manager wants to involve the team in generating a wide range of ideas without immediate criticism or evaluation. Which problem-solving technique should the project manager use?
The correct answer is brainstorming. Brainstorming is a problem-solving technique that encourages participants to generate a large number of ideas in a non-judgmental environment, allowing creative solutions to emerge. The emphasis is on quantity over quality at this stage, and ideas are not immediately criticized or evaluated, fostering an open and innovative atmosphere.
A focus group is used to gather feedback on specific products or services from selected individuals, not primarily for generating a wide range of ideas within a team. A stand-up meeting is a brief session typically used for status updates and coordination, not for in-depth problem-solving. Root cause analysis is focused on identifying the underlying causes of a known problem, rather than generating new creative solutions.
