Abstract
Creativity techniques are tools for stimulating creative thinking, which can help people finding innovative solutions for their problems. The importance of creativity fostering techniques in software development has been recognized and investigated by researchers for over a decade, yet the greater software engineering community makes little use of the myriads of techniques available. In order to encourage a wider adoption and to support the use of creativity techniques in software development, we have reviewed a large number of creativity techniques and have created a Creativity Patterns Guide. The guide follows the familiar concepts of Design Patterns, explaining and exemplifying the use of creativity techniques in the context of software development. This paper describes the development of the Creativity Patterns Guide, the mmetodologial choises, pages structures and final interface.
