Abstract

This paper reports a workshop that integrated creativity techniques with extended use case diagrams and storyboard representations of use cases to discover stakeholder requirements for VANTAGE, a new system designed to reduce environmental impact at airports. The workshop revised the boundaries of the system and generated 200 new requirements-based ideas and storyboards for VANTAGE. The paper describes the workshop structure, gives examples of outputs from it, and uses these outputs to answer 3 research questions about the usefulness of ideas generated and creativity techniques employed.
