The creative thinking process is a technique to generate and evaluate new ideas for solving problems or improving situations.The effectiveness of the creative thinking process can be measured by three values: novelty, usefulness, and feasibility1. Novelty refers to how original, unique, or different the ideas are. Usefulness refers to how well the ideas address the problem or opportunity. Feasibility refers to how practical, realistic, or implementable the ideas are. Generating a pre-determined number of new ideas for a business solution is not a measurement of effective creative thinking, as it does not reflect any of these values. The quantity of ideas is not as important as the quality of ideas in terms of novelty, usefulness, and feasibility.Reference:BABOK Guide

A model is a representation of a system or a process that helps stakeholders and customers visualize the potential system. Models can use different forms, such as flowcharts, graphs, diagrams, or prototypes, to show the structure, behavior, or functionality of the system. Models are useful for communicating, analyzing, verifying, and validating the requirements.

Models are not slices of the project solution (A), although they may show some aspects of the solution. Models are not meant to simplify the requirements for common stakeholders (B), but rather to help all stakeholders understand the requirements better. Models are not statistics for the return on investment, time saved, and other mathematics , although some models may use quantitative data to support the requirements.
