Attribute Listing Technique, also known as feature enumeration method, is a famous creative thinking strategy advocated by Professor robert crawford of the University of Nebraska with 1954. This method emphasizes that users observe and analyze the characteristics or attributes of things or problems in the creative process, and then put forward ideas for improvement or change according to each characteristic.

By dividing the decision-making system into several subsystems (that is, decomposing the decision-making problem into local small problems), and listing their characteristics one by one. These characteristics are divided into conceptual constraints, changing rules and so on. And study whether these characteristics can be changed, and the influence on decision-making after the change, and study the methods to solve decision-making problems. The advantage of this method is that it can ensure a comprehensive study of all aspects of the problem.
