Hi Brenda
An excellent post. Good job.
The new kid on the block for brainstorming is a tool called xTiles... it's well worth a look.
I've used many tools over the years, having started with post-it notes in the late 70s.
I've run hundred of planning workshops since then, and I've been using Miro in recent times. I find xTiles more instinctive.
:-)

... and I'll have to take a look at Bubbl now!
