Table 1.

The table shows the frequency a certain level of the Likert scale was chosen by the evaluators for each association of functional mode and requirement. R1Spiral conversion of tacit and explicit knowledge. R2Support divergent and convergent thinking. R3Support individual, dyadic, and group brainstorming. R4Support flexibility in the granularity of planning. R5Usage of visual mechanism, such as sketching and brainsketching. FM1Brainwriting & brainsketching of ideas. FM2Relevant information selection. FM3. Visual representation of knowledge created.
