Example of attribute listing
Let’s assume we have got the order for the street lighting in the historical centre of our hometown. What does attribute listing in this case practically mean?
So let’s start with the first step:
- examining prerequisites (necessary elements???) and
- identifying the components first.
We might find the following elements: energy supply, the style, the material, the size, light intensity, the kind of installation...
Now, as the second step,
- we draw a table
- we write the elements into the table as headings
- we organize a brainstorming session or try to find as many attributes as possible ourselves

As the third step,
- we mix and discover interesting variations.
- finally, we discuss their feasibility (with staff and clients).
Good luck! If you would like to get to know more about this method and see more examples, please go to “resources”.
