Improvisational theater for information systems: An agile, experience-based, prototyping technique

Abstract

Collaborative creativity is key to innovative software development. It is however not easy to master, and few techniques have focused on those aspects. Games have recently started to receive serious attention to fill this gap. In this context, this tutorial proposes participants a fun and refreshing learning moment. Through actually playing improvisational theatre (improv) games in group, participants will learn new ways to generate scenarios through a collaborative, cheap, rapid, experience-based, design technique. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
