As a project manager, you are moving towards the end of a project and realize a great idea that could radically improve your deliverable. What are the ways to keep that idea around so that when planning starts for the next iteration, your idea can be used? Can you think of a way to capture ideas like this for the entire team?

Like Frances, I would capture it under lessons learned.
Thanks Stephane for your feedback on this. Saving Changes...

Everything can be changed at the beginning. I always tell myself that don't keep my ideas consistently. If my ideas are good for a phase, the team members will accept it. Otherwise, we will identify what ideas from previous phase should remain to next phase.

Have noticed that idea can be due to learning or observation. As rightly pointed out idea can radically change things and create win-win situation for all stakeholders. Given this situation it would be prudent to document the idea as part of lesson learnt and update the Organizational Process Assets and other project document updates. This would not only benefit the seller but the buyer as well

Dipesh, thanks for your response.
I learned that good questions can lead to good ideas. So, as a project manager we should ask questions to recombine the knowledge and energy of a discussion and cast that energy out again toward more fruitful terrain.
Send it to "REALIST" for checking practical feasibility and then send their output to "CRITICS" for final evaluation. (follow Walt Disney's Creative Thinking Technique)
