Brainstorming PITCHf/x questions

By Tangotiger, 10:23 AM

Here’s Mike’s rather comprehensive list. I didn’t really offer anything to Mike, but this is what I said anyway:

Great job. In fact, we followed the exact same process for The Book. Mitchel and I had a brainstorming session where we simply spit out one question after another. We ended up with over a hundred questions. Then,
I grouped all the questions into a specific header. We had some 20 or so headers. And then, from those headers, we selected 13 as chapters for The Book. So, it looks like you already did all the brainstorming work. Perhaps
you’ll get more feedback as others start responding. The next step is to try to create some sort of basis, in terms, processes, and data extraction. Once you’ve got that, then all that’s left is to do the actual work.
