parallel-concepts

separate

Build several genuinely different solutions to the same problem at once, spread across what the user does rather than how it looks. Use when one direction is on the table and the team is about to refine it by default. For choosing between the concepts afterwards, use `concept-selection`.

When to use

• Building several genuinely different solutions to the same problem
• Divergent exploration of competing solutions
• Constructing a set of concepts held at equal effort
• Improving the model of the solution space
• Removing the unearned advantage of the first idea

When not to use

• Choosing between the concepts afterwards
• Ranking or eliminating concepts
• Choosing which problem to solve
