PMI (plus, minus, interesting) is a brainstorming, decision making and critical thinking tool. It is used to encourage the examination of ideas, concepts and experiences from more than one perspective. PMI was developed by Dr. Edward de Bono, a proponent of lateral and critical thinking.
A PMI strategy can help you to:
* to brainstorm ideas
* make decisions quickly by analysing and weighing the pros and cons
* reflect upon or evaluate a product or processs after the fact
* identify strengths and weaknesses for future improvement
