CAPM Practice: Demonstrate an understanding of common problem-solving tools and techniques

Brainstorming is an ideation technique where participants freely generate ideas without criticism or judgment. The goal is to produce as many ideas as possible quickly. Judgment and evaluation of ideas happens in a later, separate step.

**Why not A:** Force field analysis identifies driving and restraining forces for or against a proposed change. It evaluates the factors supporting or opposing a decision, rather than generating a large number of ideas quickly without judgment.

**Why not C:** The Delphi Technique involves anonymous rounds of expert input to reach consensus, typically conducted through questionnaires. It is a structured, iterative process that does not involve group brainstorming in a shared session or rapid idea generation without judgment.

**Why not D:** The Nominal Group Technique combines individual idea generation with structured group discussion and voting or ranking. While it includes idea generation, it has a more structured evaluation component than brainstorming and is designed for decision-making, not purely for generating ideas without judgment.
