Brainstorming
Brainstorming
Brainstorming means that a group of people are meeting in the same place to give ideas. The result of a good brainstorming sessions is that the ideas discussed can be agreed upon as a group to be one idea.
If brainstorming doesn't do anything, maybe you need to think of another idea entirely - maybe your brain is trying to tell you that you don't want to work on that particular story at this time.

Brainstorming Software is a software used for making idea maps, flow charts, word association, and other general idea creation programs. Some of the earlier brainstorming software included Paramind, Thinkle, and IdeaFisher.
"Exploring ideas" would be another phrase. "Brainstorming" has come, however, to take on a meaning of sharing ideas without prejudice as to whether one idea is better than another. The analysis of ideas comes later, after the brainstorming is finished.
Producing an idea or way of solving a problem by holding a spontaneous group discussion.
