SCAMPER can be used to generate ideas for new products or services.SCAMPER can be used to improve existing services or products.

Alex Osborn, credited by many as the originator of brainstorming, originally came up with many of the questions used in the SCAMPER technique. However, it was Bob Eberle, an education administrator and author, who organised these questions into the SCAMPER.

Here "products" doesnt only refer to physical goods. Products can also include processes, services, and even people. You can therefore adapt this technique to a wide range of situations.
