The DOT framework helps you reason about research when developing solutions. Methods are divided into 5 research strategies based on two considerations.

In the context of the DOT framework, brainstorming is applied in the Workshop research strategy, trying to think up solutions to close the innovation gap between what is already known from available work and what is necessary to solve the problem in the application domain.

The ICT research methods card deck contains a specific card Brainstorm, which you can use when planning out your project approach.
