A) Closing step? Really? That's when we're supposed to be wrapping things up, not coming up with new ideas!

I’m leaning towards the Exploration step, but I could see how the Opening step might make sense too. It’s a bit confusing!

I feel like it might be the Iteration step, but that seems more about refining ideas rather than generating them.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think we discussed that ideas usually start flowing in the Opening step.

I remember the instructor saying the exploration step is where the participants start generating ideas. That's when the group is supposed to be freely brainstorming without judgment. I'm feeling good about selecting B) for this question.

Nenita 10 months ago

The exploration step makes the most sense to me. That's when the group is really diving into the problem and trying to come up with as many ideas as possible before narrowing things down. I feel pretty confident about this one.

I think the idea generation happens during the Exploration step, but I'm not entirely sure. It could also be the Opening step.

Ugh, I'm drawing a blank on the details of these collaborative game steps. Was it the opening step or the exploration step for idea generation? I need to review my notes again before answering.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I know the steps involve opening, exploration, and iteration, but I can't remember which one is specifically for idea generation. Gotta think this through carefully.
