Now practice SCAMPER on a real scenario. A development team lead struggles to coordinate sprint planning across multiple remote developers and track project dependencies. Fill in creative solutions:

Eliminate: Remove [[blank:manual status updates]] from the process

Combine: Merge task tracking with [[blank:code repository integration]]

Substitute: Replace daily standup calls with [[blank:automated progress dashboards]]

Suggested Answers

  • manual status updates
  • code repository integration
  • automated progress dashboards
