Lightning Talk: The Power of Silence and Music in Agile Software
summary
Claim: structured silence plus music measurably increases idea generation and fair decision making. Techniques: five-minute silent brainstorming and silent voting with a team of six, using same-color post-its and voting dots to enforce anonymity. Measured effect: the team produces more distinct inputs in five minutes than in a five-minute discussion. Applied at tipi.build with limited budget and time pressure, the approach boosts creativity, levels junior/senior influence, speeds prioritized decisions, and consistently works in practice.
