Brainstorming

When teaching about requirements elicitation, I do speak of brainstorming as one of the ways of conducting a meeting. Meetings are one of the key techniques for conducting requirements elicitation.

I have recently conducted a web survey on brainstorm and found some interesting posts. I am sharing what I have found:
  1. An article at the The Heart of Innovation.
  2. A trade press article that is easy to ready.
  3. Donald Clark introduction to the topic.
  4. A vendor description of the technique.
  5. Last, but not least: a chapter of a book where you can find a real example of the use of brainstorming. Of the notes cited above, this one is the only one that describes how brainstorming did solve a real problem.

    Originally created in the UK by Brian E Hodges (Ret.) at Manchester Metropolitan University -

    Hodges' Health Career - Care Domains - Model [h2cm]

    - can help map health, social care and OTHER issues, problems and solutions. The model takes a situated and multi-contextual view across four knowledge domains:

    * Interpersonal;
    * Sociological;
    * Empirical;
    * Political.

    Our links pages cover each care (knowledge) domain e.g. SCIENCES:
