Choosing a Creativity Technique for Requirements Elicitation

Creativity and creativity techniques are relevant for requirements elicitation. There are many different creativity techniques, but these techniques are not used as widely as expected. To investigate the reasons for this situation, we assumed the viewpoint of a requirements engineer looking for decision-making guidelines to facilitate the choice among the considerable number of available creativity techniques. The results of the search highlighted the gap between existing information and what is needed. To this end, we propose a logical framework based on two matrices for choosing creativity techniques and methods in view of their application in requirements elicitation.
