Collaboration Frameworks

Collaboration frameworks are interactive techniques used with the Scrum Team to generate new ideas, explore assumptions and rationalise existing concepts.

Categories of collaboration frameworks include:

• Understanding – how can we improve our understanding of the problem?
• Exploring – how can we consider a range of ideas and concepts and expand our understanding of the possibilities?
• Evaluating – how can we consider multiple perspectives and critically evaluate the ideas?
• Converging – how can we rationalise our ideas and converge on a great solution?
