This years Open Source Developers Conference finished yesterday. A group of us have been asked to put together a proposal to the Open Source Developers Club to host it in Sydney next year.

Managing business ideas

Sunday, November 11th, 2007

Every couple of weeks I stumble upon a new idea for something that could make a good business. It may be original or just something I’d like to try. Currently I capture these by adding them to a page on my blog but I feel there should be a better way to do this. It should include the ability to quickly:

  1. Capture the idea (concept, name, how it would make money, etc).
  2. Evaluate the idea (potential, risk, effort required, etc).
  3. Decide which ideas are worth further investigation while still tracking those that aren’t.
  4. List ideas based on date added, risk, potential income, time/effort required to implement, etc.

How do you capture and manage your ideas?
