One bridge, two gaps - beyond an engineering approach: Creativity in requirements elicitation

Traditional, software development was normally treated as an engineering process, which can be a lengthy and inflexible process. Recently, as the demand for software is increasing dramatically, new ways of developing software have been sought, among which developing software creatively is attracting attention. Media products are normally creatively developed and naturally learning how these products were developed can be a good starting point for applying creative techniques in software development. The proposed workshop activity plans to conduct an experiment to observe and then summarise the knowledge of creativity in media product development, in particular in the stage of requirements elicitation, taking movie making as an example, and then speculate how this knowledge can be applied to requirements elicitation and software development.
