At the moment of writing this I can't find anyone mentioning CRC-cards(1) - have these been completely forgotten? (1)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class-respon

  My software engineering prof at uni thaught us about them; in fact, the CRC card book was required for the course. I thought they were a brilliant idea, but I haven't encountered them being used in the wild.

  Many years ago there was a book, Java Modeling in Color with UML, which event gave you a reason to purchase the nice red/blue/green/yellow packs of index cards. I found it a very nice way of decomposing a problem (into entities, roles/interfaces, temporal things and description/lookup tables), but I've not seen anything like it survive.

  I used them in a college project, to get the other team members involved in the design of the software bit. They're a bit like flowcharts, they tend to be at a level below what is commonly done as a collaborative exercise in practice. For something completely new and for a programmer with limited experience of OO design, they could still be useful.
