Product designers and innovation teams
During a product design sprint to rethink an existing everyday object like a coffee mug
ユースケース
概要
The SCAMPER mind map template is a structured brainstorming tool for product innovation, using the SCAMPER technique (Substitute, Combine, Adapt, Modify, Put to another use, Eliminate, Reverse) to redesign a traditional coffee mug. With 16 nodes across 7 branches, it covers concrete ideas like 'Replace ceramic with bamboo or edible materials', 'Add a built-in temperature sensor or a phone holder', and 'Design a mug that cools coffee instead of retaining heat'. This SCAMPER template helps teams systematically explore creative alternatives, making it ideal for design sprints, product development workshops, and innovation exercises. The SCAMPER cheat sheet provides a ready-to-use framework for generating novel solutions by challenging assumptions about everyday objects.
