Comic-Based Morphological Box: Enhancing Vision Design – A Research Preview
This research preview presents the idea of an approach to software project vision development through the application of a comic-based morphological box, addressing the need for inclusive and effective communication among stakeholders in requirements workshops. The primary motivation for this research stems from the challenge of establishing a shared vision in new software projects, especially when involving stakeholders who may not be software experts. Existing methods lack the accessibility and engagement required for inclusive visioning. To address this, we propose a combination of scenario-based techniques, specifically the use of comics as a storytelling medium, and morphological analysis, a systematic design approach to creative idea generation. This approach uses proto-personas and comics to articulate scenarios for the system to be built. The morphological box should aid people create these comics, even if they have no advanced drawing skills. In addition to the idea of the comic-based morphological box, our research preview proposes a design science-oriented research plan that emphasizes iterative design and practical application. The final goal of this research is to present a comic-based morphological box in the future that efficiently improves the design process and outcomes in software vision development. The work contributes to the field by offering a novel, engaging, and inclusive approach that potentially improves the quality of communication and alignment among diverse stakeholders in software projects.
