Clustering involves informally dividing a large number of ideas into smaller groups.
It is an excellent way for your team to begin to organize and evaluate a long list of data, information, or ideas. You can then evaluate each approach and decide which to pursue and which to eliminate for the time being. After developing a long list of user needs, you can cluster similar ones as a step toward creating a hierarchy of needs. After generating a list of engineering requirements, you can use clustering as a step towards creating a design specification. After discussing the various jobs involved in completing the project, your team can use clustering to distribute responsibilities.
