Mind mapping 

 Challenge 

 I work in the department of support for innovators through grants . Our goal is to ensure a transparent process for distributing grants to applicants . Our department employs 5 people who need to consider more than 200 applications in 45 days . Physically , we did not have time to process applications in manual mode , the employees were overloaded . As a result , the terms of consideration were violated . The solution to this problem was the development of an automated information system for processing applications . We will focus on trying to identify all business processes and identify where there might be gaps or failures . 

 Selection 

 I used the mind mapping tool to gain a general understanding of the innovation grant business processes before starting to develop the MVP version of the information system . I often use this approach when it comes to sequencing processes , scoping and assigning responsibilities in both my personal and professional life . 

 Application 

 I have used mind mapping techniques to allow developers and those who involved in the grant process to better understand the path from application acceptance to grant disbursement , to be able to identify pain points and opportunities for improvement or solutions . Our department began the development process by drawing a diagram on “ Mindmeister ” . In the center , a window for accepting applications was placed , then branches were launched on the sides , meaning the stages and who is involved at each stage . Each branch was also crushed and the procedure and terms were described in detail . So we could see the path / flow of the application at all stages of consideration and so that in the future we could see the status and progress of the application . 

 Next , we worked closely with the developers to clarify our goals and priorities . We divided the development of the system into sprints , where at each sprint we tested each stage . This tested our assumption that in the course of development gaps will be identified and we will continue to improve business processes . 

 Insight 

 Using the tool , our team identified our assumptions and developed a process map to test those assumptions . In addition , we have considered that the expected results may actually differ based on the deployment of processes . In the future , our team will review this understanding and include it in future stages of implementation . 

 Approach 

 The ease of using of this tool before starting a new project is that you start strategically thinking through the " skeleton " of your future project , and already before you launch it , you will have a clear plan of what to do about in the coming weeks and even months .

EMAIL - A student’s email address.
USERNAME - A student's username on any platform.
ID_NUM - A number or sequence of characters that could be used to identify a student, such as a student ID or a social security number.
PHONE_NUM - A phone number associated with a student.
URL_PERSONAL - A URL that might be used to identify a student.
STREET_ADDRESS - A full or partial street address that is associated with the student, such as their home address.
