Ideella
Ideella is a concept and framework in collaborative ideation and design. It describes an integrated environment that combines idea capture, evaluation, and rapid prototyping within a single workflow. The term is used in academic and professional discussions to describe a systemic approach to moving ideas from concept to testable artifacts.
Origin and development: The term emerged in design research literature in the mid-2010s as researchers explored
Core components: Ideation capture, tagging and categorization, collaborative evaluation (rating, voting, impact estimation), prioritization algorithms, lightweight
Applications: Used in product development, research, education, and policy design to streamline idea management and cross-functional
Criticism and limitations: Some observers argue that rigid frameworks risk constraining creativity or introducing process overhead.
