Guiding a project through TRIZ: multi-screen analysis

During the preparatory phases of an inventive design activity, it is often essential to take a step back from the problem.

This fact sheet offers you a tool to help you think about and record the first data from the TRIZ corpus of tools and methods: multi-screen analysis.

The benefits of implementing multiscreen analysis can be summed up in three points:

• enable each member of the study to express his or her knowledge of the subject and share it with the other members;

• create harmony within the team by sharing each person's vision of the object, including visions that are sometimes in opposition;

• take the first step in the study and lay the foundations, by looking back at any actions taken in the past, and co-constructing a vision for the future of the technical system.
