Scamper is a brainstorm mind-map technique to collect new ideas related to a focus question. For instance, a focus question could be  “How to improve a web page?” To answer the question one has to collect ideas that are categorized  by 7 questions. What need to be …?

• substituted?
• combined?
• added?
• modified?
• put to other uses?Elim
•  eliminated?
• rearranged?

In the collection phase quantity has preference over quality, i.e., collect as many ideas as possible. Quality assessment comes into play in the next phase. Participants are asked to mark important ideas by bullets (e.g., by red points). The more points the higher the priority of an idea. This way, a quick approach to come up with a schedule of work tasks can be delivered.

I’m wondering if there is a software tool around that provides such a collaborative function and implements the idea of Scamper. Probably, MindManager is a good candidate.
