One of the reasons why products are replaced is as a consequence of changes in the users’ personal life. Adaptable or upgradable products have the advantage that, to some extent, they counter dissatisfaction in products that still work by improving functionalities or adding new ones. So, to develop adaptable products, designers have to consider the potential changes in the users’ personal life during the earlier phases of the design process. This work presents a list of scenario creation-type questions which promote design ideas that consider changing needs (QuChaNe). To check the effectiveness of this list of questions, an experiment with 28 designers was conducted. In the experiment, the designers applied the proposed list of questions to generate ideas for products. The same task was carried out using no prescribed method as a control group for comparison purposes. The results show that the use of the list of scenario creation questions leads to the generation of more ideas for changing needs and with higher quality. This finding implies that designers could use these questions to generate ideas for changing needs as a previous task before applying design for adaptability (DFA) or upgradability (DFU) methods. This would ultimately lead to more adaptable products.

更换产品的原因之一是用户个人生活变化的结果。适应性强或可升级的产品的优势在于，在某种程度上，它们可以通过改进功能或添加新功能来抵制仍然有效的产品的不满。因此，要开发适应性强的产品，设计师必须考虑在设计过程的早期阶段用户个人生活中的潜在变化。这项工作提出了场景创建类型问题的列表，这些问题促进了考虑不断变化的需求（QuChaNe）的设计思想。为了检查问题清单的有效性，进行了28位设计师的实验。在实验中，设计人员将建议的问题列表应用于产品思路。出于比较目的，未使用规定方法作为对照组执行相同任务。结果表明，使用方案创建问题列表可以产生更多想法，以适应不断变化的需求并具有更高的质量。这一发现意味着，在将设计应用于适应性（DFA）或可升级性（DFU）方法之前，设计人员可以使用这些问题来生成改变需求的想法，作为以前的任务。这最终将导致产品更具适应性。这一发现意味着，在将设计应用于适应性（DFA）或可升级性（DFU）方法之前，设计人员可以使用这些问题来生成改变需求的想法，作为以前的任务。这最终将导致产品更具适应性。这一发现意味着，在将设计应用于适应性（DFA）或可升级性（DFU）方法之前，设计人员可以使用这些问题来生成改变需求的想法，作为以前的任务。这最终将导致产品更具适应性。
