Click on the \"Create New Workspace\" button.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">1.3. Assign a clear and descriptive name for the workspace, like \"Idea Management \u2013 Design.\"<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">1.4. Write a brief description that outlines the workspace's purpose and invite relevant team members, ensuring roles and permissions are correctly set for collaboration.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 2: Structuring Folders for Idea Categories<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Purpose: To categorize ideas based on themes, projects, or design stages for efficient retrieval and review.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Why: By creating specific folders for different categories, you can organize ideas in a way that reflects your design process or project phases. This organization aids in streamlining the evaluation and follow-up process, as all ideas are categorically stored.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Instructions:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">2.1. Inside the Idea Management Workspace, select the option to \"Add new folder.\"<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">2.2. Create folders for various categories such as \"User Experience,\" \"Visual Design,\" and \"Innovation Lab.\"<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">2.3. Move existing Spaces into the appropriate folders.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 3: Establishing Idea Submission Spaces<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Purpose: To have distinct areas where ideas can be submitted, reviewed, and developed within the same environment.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Why: Spaces dedicated to idea submission will ensure that all new ideas are consolidated, making it easier for team members to submit, collaborate on, and refine ideas.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Instructions:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">3.1. Create a new Space titled \"Idea Submissions\" within your designated folder.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">3.2. Define the structure of cards to include fields like \"Idea Description,\" \"Potential Impact,\" and \"Resources Required.\"<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">3.3. Set up additional Spaces for \"Ongoing Review\" and \"Approved Ideas\" to manage the flow of ideas through the pipeline.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 4: Designing Custom Idea Cards<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Purpose: To capture all relevant information about an idea in a single view.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Why: Customized cards tailored to the design ideation process will contain all the necessary details and updates about an idea, encouraging a comprehensive assessment and providing clarity for all team members.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Instructions:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">4.1. Inside the \"Idea Submissions\" Space, click on \"Add Card\" to create a new idea card template.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">4.2. Customize the card template with elements such as attachments for sketches or design documents, comment sections for feedback, and to-do lists for needed actions.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">4.3. Use labels to prioritize and track the status of ideas like \"New,\" \"Under Review,\" and \"Accepted.\"<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 5: Collaborative Idea Evaluation<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Purpose: To systematically assess each submitted idea with the collective insight of the team.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Why: Evaluation through collaboration ensures diverse perspectives and expertise are applied to each idea, improving the quality of decisions and fostering a culture of shared ownership and creativity.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Instructions:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">5.1. Convene a regular idea review meeting and use the KanBo space to display all submissions.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">5.2. Utilize KanBo's commenting feature on each card to gather feedback and suggestions.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">5.3. Assign follow-up actions to team members directly from the idea card, setting deadlines for when further investigation or prototypes should be completed.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 6: Monitoring Idea Progress with KanBo's Visualization Tools<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Purpose: To track the movement and development of ideas through the ideation pipeline.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Why: Visual tools help in quickly understanding the status of various ideas and in identifying potential bottlenecks or opportunities for acceleration.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Instructions:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">6.1. Use KanBo's card grouping features to visualize ideas by their progress stages.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">6.2. Set up the KanBo board to reflect stages such as \"Submitted,\" \"Under Review,\" \"Prototype Development,\" and \"Implementation.\"<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">6.3. Regularly update card statuses as ideas move through different phases, utilizing color codes for immediate visual cues.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Step 7: Archiving and Learning from Past Ideas<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Purpose: To create a knowledge base of historical ideas for future reference and learning.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Why: Not all ideas will come to fruition, but they can provide valuable insights for future projects. Archiving them ensures that past work is not lost and can be revisited for inspiration or repurposing.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Instructions:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">7.1. Create a Space titled \"Idea Archive\" within your Idea Management Workspace.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">7.2. Use this space to store cards of ideas that have been executed or declined, with notes on outcomes and learnings.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">7.3. Encourage team members to review the archive periodically for lessons learned and to spark new ideas.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">By following these steps and using KanBo effectively, a Senior Designer can lay the foundation for a robust and organized idea management system that drives creativity and strategic design efforts within the corporate and business context.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading naglowek-duzy\" id=\"section4\" style=\"margin-bottom:40px;font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.68), 25px);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.02em;line-height:1.2\">Glossary and terms<\/h3><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> Glossary<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\"> Introduction<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">This glossary provides definitions and explanations for key terms related to idea management and project coordination within an organizational setting.
