BRAINSTORM ideas

The brainstorming process allows your participants to contribute their ideas to your activity and is usually the first step in a map activity. GroupMap supports a number of brainstorming styles:

Individual brainstorming: Each participant will see only their own ideas during this step - suitable if you'd like to ensure unbiased thinking.
Suggestive brainstorming: Each participant will see their own ideas, however, a limited number of ideas (default 3) added by other participants will be presented as 'suggestions' which a participant can accept or reject onto their map. This can be useful if you'd like to bootstrap brainstorming with example ideas; share inspiration between participants, and can act also as a prioritization of submitted ideas.
Collaborative brainstorming: Each participant sees all ideas that have been added, as they are added - suitable for group brainstorming.

You can add more than one brainstorm step to your process (professional/enterprise only).
