It is expected to gain more importance in coming decades. However the research work on creativity in software engineering is scattered and scarce. The current study aims to systematically review the existing literature on creativity in software engineering. As a result, the current study has highlighted 26 years of research work on creativity in software engineering. From the 49 selected studies, nearly half addressed creativity only in requirement engineering phase. Hence, it is safe to assume that there is a lack of research work on creativity in other phases of software development. © Springer Science+Business Media Singapore 2018. %Z cited By 8; Conference of 4th iCatse Conference on Mobile and Wireless Technology, ICMWT 2017 ; Conference Date: 26 June 2017 Through 29 June 2017; Conference Code:193479
