In certain workshop situations we apply the “Shooting Exercise” as a ‘quick and dirty’ analysis procedure. Particularly when time is limited, a group can provide feedback and ideas effectively and efficiently in a very short time.
Mind the ‘monkey’!
For the first time in my 20 years facilitating LFA workshops, a client insisted to modify the ‘brainstorming’ procedure and emphasised the use of ‘interviews’ instead to acquire information from individual stakeholders.

Although that ‘day-dreaming’ is considered interesting and energizing by the participants, it does not actually require knowledge on the actual current situation. And you can question whether those ‘arguments’ form a sufficient justification to support the project. On the contrary!
