The Human Factor in Software Engineering

And I am back from CreaRE. We had an inspiring workshop where we could hear about different techniques to design games and to creatively elicit requirements, their advantages and disadvantages. And we also practiced one of them, live in the group. My favourite citation was: "Everything is better than brainstorming." Yes, very true! My own experiences and the related scientific publications all show that brainstorming is out. There are other simple methods which you can do without preparation, needing no specific material and which are more effective.
We will write a longer report about the workshop and publish it in a journal.
