+
+During a Brainstorming day, many great ideas are generated, discussed, and refined. But what happens to these ideas once the day is over? Without a dedicated individual to drive an idea forward, it risks being forgotten or losing momentum. This is where the Idea Champion comes in.
+
+<!--endintro-->
+
+The Idea Champion should be someone who believes in the idea's potential.
+
+## The Idea Champion's responsibilities
+
+* **Take accountability** for the idea from the end of the brainstorming day until a Scrum Team has been assigned and development has started
+* **Discuss** the idea and answer people's questions
+* **Communicate** the status of the idea in its [GitHub Discussion](/brainstorming-idea-farming)
+* **Push the idea forwards** and get closure (approval/rejection)
+
+### Where it begins
+
+* An Idea Champion should be assigned to each idea for a specific Brainstorming Day. This should be done when [allocating teams](/brainstorming-team-allocation)
+* The Idea Champion can change on the day of the Brainstorming, or after, if the team decides there is a better person
+
+### Where it ends
+
+The Idea Champion's role is over when either:
+
+* There is a Scrum Team working on the project
+or
+* Approval isn't reached and the idea is parked (this is a perfectly acceptable outcome - it can always be revisited in a future [Brainstorming Day](/use-the-brains-of-your-company))
