Jamboard is a great place to align on next steps, based on what ideas were uncovered during a brainstorming session. As seen in this example, after brainstorming and noting favored ideas, the participants are then able to bucket based on an impact-effort matrix and gather consensus on next steps to start putting those ideas into action.
One way to use Jamboard to take collaborative conversations deeper after brainstorming ideas is to take those ideas and bucket them based on topic, commonalities, themes, or other relevant categories. The act of “bucketing” can be done virtually by moving the sticky notes around to bring common themes together. You can also take this one step further by circling and naming each group to underscore the information you’d like to highlight.
One way to use Jamboard effectively is to enable users to brainstorm, share, and support ideas as seen on this screenshot. In order to do this, you should first have participants populate various sticky notes (you can even color code by participant and include multiple “posters” if necessary). Once everyone has dropped in their ideas, participants can star, favorite, or otherwise show support for ideas by adding a star, +1, or comment. This two-part activity allows participants to first call out all of their ideas and then review their ideas with others to identify which are the most interesting, actionable, or best-fit for the challenge being faced – similar to what you would do in-person sticky-note brainstorming activity.
