О шаблоне
The SCAMPER Technique mind map template provides a structured brainstorming framework with 42 nodes across 7 branches (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse). It guides users through specific innovation prompts such as 'Substitute materials', 'Combine functions', and 'Eliminate unnecessary features' to systematically enhance ideas. This SCAMPER template is ideal for product managers, designers, and marketers seeking a repeatable creative problem-solving process. Each branch offers five actionable sub-nodes, covering materials, processes, components, functions, and users for the first four letters, while 'Put to another use' focuses on purpose and performance, 'Eliminate' targets waste and expansion, and 'Reverse' refines feedback and messaging. The SCAMPER cheat sheet transforms abstract lateral thinking into a concrete, editable mind map that can be customized for any product or service.

The template includes 7 main branches (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse) with 5 sub-nodes each, totaling 42 nodes. Each sub-node provides a specific prompt like 'Substitute materials' or 'Combine functions' to guide brainstorming.
Open the .xmind file in Xmind, then work through each branch systematically. For each sub-node, brainstorm how that action applies to your product—for example, 'Substitute components' might mean swapping a cheaper part. Record ideas as child nodes.
Yes, the template is fully editable in Xmind desktop or web. You can add, delete, or reorganize nodes. To print, export as PDF or image from Xmind.
Start with the 'Substitute' branch and move through each letter. For each prompt, list at least three ideas. Use the 'Eliminate' branch to remove unnecessary features, then 'Reverse' to rethink strategy. Collaborate by sharing the mind map with your team.
Absolutely. Rename sub-nodes to fit your domain—for example, 'Substitute materials' could become 'Substitute ingredients' for food products. The structure remains flexible.
