Visualization 

 Challenge 

 Normally you find companies that want to improve the software they have because the one   they currently use does not meet their needs . In these situations , I have sought to help these   organizations to find their requirements based on a series of ideas that they have , however ,   these ideas in most cases are not clear , and therefore it is necessary to discern them and focus   them on a single goal . Companies come to us as professionals so that we can help them in this   process , giving them a guide to fulfill their desires and goals . It is at this point that the problem   arises , since each person has his or her own vision of the current difficulties , and of the possible   solutions and new requirements for this improvement . 

 Selection 

 I chose the visualization tool because usually there are different visions , and these are   complicated to combine because they can vary greatly from person to person , that is , because   each one can have a different concept of the same idea when imagining a possible solution . For   example , if someone says chair , it can be interpreted as a wooden chair , or , for example , a metal   school chair . These variations are given according to the context and influences in which a person   develops in their daily life , and even where they grew up . What has worked for me in these cases   is to give each participant a piece of paper to put their ideas on paper , and then ask them to   group with others who have similar thoughts . Finally , each group will explain their diagram to the   others . Using this method , in most cases , brings the different perspectives together in a series of   selected diagrams in which everyone feels represented . 

 Application 

 The pharmacy chain in my city wants to improve its payroll system , since the one they currently   use , although it allows them to keep track of their workers ' data , does not meet all the necessary   requirements , so part of the paperwork is done manually . The company has inventory control ,   invoicing control , logistics , and accounting processes that are completely manual . The leaders of   this franchise , and of each branch , met to present their ideas to the development team of which   I am a part . These leaders had only one clear goal , to automate as many processes as possible ,   but on the other hand , they did n't know which ones they could , nor did they agree on how . They   had a special concern ; they did not know if this transformation was going to affect the   organization of the company and the sale of products . 

 As a team , we did not know how to start , we had no clear requirements and no clear objectives .   We proposed to the organization several ideas that encompassed all the ideas they presented .   For each idea we made a graphic that had images of how the processes would be , for example if   we were talking about the shipment of products , we drew the means of transport that would be   used , and what processes would be required behind for its operation . In the next meeting we 

 asked the company to try to capture their ideas in a mind map , at the beginning of this meeting ,   we read them to everyone , and then we showed our diagrams . After this meeting we were able   to define which route we were going to direct the entire development , thus making the   objectives clear . 

 Insight and Approach 

 I consider this tool to be useful when you want to gather ideas from different people and   conceptions in different groups that can represent all project participants , thus avoiding   misunderstandings and discussions about the vision that should be taken , in this case , the   development . By implementing visualization , I was able to realize that you can use flowcharts ,   sequence diagrams , and drawings , whatever it takes to make the idea clear on paper . 

 However , I believe that this tool has its limits . And to overcome them it is necessary to use other   tools that serve as a link between the different visions , such as , for example , the mind map used   in the case presented throughout this document . In the case we proposed , we realized that using   visualization with so many ideas can become more confusing if the right tools are not used to   synthesize the complexity of the problem . 

 Definitely , I consider that this tool is one of the most used by teams and people in general ,   because since we were children , our first instinct is to draw what we understand to capture our   vision of the world .
