Accolade Ideas Best Practices

Keep the following set of best practice recommendations in mind when submitting, evaluating, and managing ideas:

• Use Class and Model Pairs for Campaign Organization - Define campaigns using a class and model pair, with an Idea model/class pair as the default child to campaigns. This structure ensures ideas are systematically associated with their campaigns.
• Incorporate Reports and Charts in Campaigns - Include reports and charts within the campaign to provide clear, actionable insights into the ideas submitted. These tools support informed decision-making for prioritization and development.
• Simplify Idea Collection - Collect only basic information during idea submission to streamline the process and encourage participation. Avoid a multi-staged approach for capturing idea details in the initial phases.
• Focus on Idea Prioritization Before Migration - Enable Campaign Managers to review, refine, and prioritize ideas within campaigns to ensure only well-developed and strategically aligned ideas progress.
• Use Migration Maps for Seamless Project Transition - When ideas are ready for implementation, use migration maps to transition them into the appropriate project types. This ensures smooth integration into existing workflows while maintaining alignment with organizational goals.
