1. No criticism is allowed. No other member can say whether an idea is good or bad.

2. Questions can be asked only for clarification of an idea.

3. Free-wheeling is a plus. Wild and crazy ideas are welcome, and in fact they may help trigger other ideas from team members. Don’t worry about whether the idea you voice is good, bad, silly, or realistic; just say it.

4. Go for quantity. The more ideas you get from team members, the better this team effort will be.

5. Combine and improve ideas. It is certainly fine to build on someone else’s idea.
