TRIZ (pronounced TREES) is a Russian technique for problem-solving. The theory was developed from extensive research covering hundreds of thousands of inventions across many different fields to produce a theory which defines generalized patterns in the nature of inventive solutions and the distinguishing characteristics of the problems that these inventions had overcome.
Use: If the team has a problem and they are struggling to find a solution, by using a matrix of similar problems, the TRIZ method is one way for a team to realize a possible solution.
TRIZ is an acronym, but the acronym is in Russian (teoriya resheniya izobretatelskikh zadatch) so it doesn’t translate into English.
