What is an "Idea" in AppKu™?

Within the AppKu™ process an "Idea" is an "ask to update" an information system, with the intention to understand the scope of work (aka AppKu™ ⚡ Energy) involved before actually attempting to create it.  Typically, we'll describe your idea and requirements in a draft within your information system's project plan. As a draft your idea is not quite ready for Creation- first it must undergo triage.

Triage is where the majority of the planning and discovery regarding your information systems occurs. In order to properly triage an Idea (that is, to provide a proper plan for it), the AppKu™ team uses a small amount of ⚡ Energy to conceptualize, clarify, and understand what's involved, which sometimes involves brainstorming sessions, discussions, diagrams, drawings, and even formal wire-frames. This will turn your Ideadraft into one or more ♡ Care and/or Behaviors issues within your organization's information system(s) project plan's, and more accurately describe your "ask to update".

Ideas are retained in the project plan for each information system so that your team members can consider them for immediate or future Creation and Delivery. How does this happen? Take a look at this article "How does my idea turn into reality, or, go to "Creation"?" for more information.

You may not necessarily need to worry about this classification - since AppKu™ helps "power your process & empower your team"™ our team will handle the nuance and bureaucracy of managing information systems for you. We'll analyse your Ticket and determine how it should be addressed, categorize it accordingly, then work with your team & organization leadership to determine the path forward.
