Which tools you use in the initial brain-storming of the project requirements? [closed]

Question

Other than pencil & paper? I found freemind, the mapping tool very useful. Any other ideas?

Answer 1

Post-It notes

Whiteboard and decent coloured pens

Walls to pin the notes on to

Digital camera to capture all the work

The book Domain Driven Design :)

Answer 2

Personally I like physical paper notebooks and pencils to workout ideas :-), but some times I use FreeMind.

Check this list of Mind Mapping Software.

Answer 3

I find this (FreeMind) an excellent way to capture structured unstructured thoughts. Great for brainstorming, although it doesnt cover the diagram side.

Answer 4

Usualy we use writeboard. Personaly - pencil & paper. And one of most comfortable tools what I'm using for taking notes, making todo and other lists is VIM Outliner. If you don't use VIM, I believe you can find any other comfortable outliner.
