Example : Mind Mapping 

 Elements : 

 1 . Challenge : We have been into service industry and now launched and commercialized a few 

 products . About 18 months ago we hired a consultant who introduced us to agile methodologies   and we purchased Jira licenses , coached someone for the Scrum Master role and started   implementing the processes . However , since we have not always been a product company , our   challenges are fundamental – how the management thinks the products are built using agile .   While we have learned a few processes , we missed on other few . 

 It is in organization ’s DNA to learn with time , do more with less , and be really fast . 

 Now , this is a tricky situation . Teams think they are under pressure to deliver things at lightning   speed . Engineering and product teams would try to pick up a lot of tasks . And because they ’re   always kind of short of time , they think they do n’t have to waste time in doing meetings to   unleash their creative self . Hence , they sometimes build features that can be much stronger if   they do more brainstorming and customer empathy sessions . The reality is , management is not   aware what are the other best practices to follow – such as Mind Mapping . If they are convinced   that there are global best practices , there would n’t be a problem in buying more time for building   great products . 

 So while I was doing the course , I started interviewing people for the new product I had   launched internally to a focus group of 50 people in our 5000 people company . But that resulted   in a lot of information . To find real meaning from a lot of data , I think mind mapping is the next   right step for the organization to solve the overall problems of building great products . 

 2 . Selection : 

 Hence , I selected mind mapping tool as each interviewee provided a lot of information ( a proper   product management user interview tool was used ) . Mind mapping helped build the right   connections between various types of information from multiple users ( feels like I am the FBI   agent who tracks an elusive criminal J ) . As the IDEO CEO says that if he has to do something   analytics , he creates a list , but he has to do something more creative , he creates a mind - map . 

 3 . Application : 

 So I gathered my product manager ( who also had conducted interviews ) and a group of 4   people from the engineering team who are working on the product . We projected the info in   excel format , gathered from the interviews on a projector , and broke it down to small features or   bugs on sticky notes and later categorized them . The first meeting was n’t as great and we got   back to this course for reference and the next session was better ( I think that will improve   further with more such sessions ) . We also made an announcement that we ’d be doing such   meetings more often . 

 4 . Insight : 

 The insights were eye - opening . It helped us understand the top 2 reasons why the users would   stop using the product and what is that they currently love about it . We could see their real   objections , and hear the unsaid through the key statements during the interviews . We also   mapped each of these pointers with the impact they have . It ultimately helped us write thought   through stories and effective prioritization . 

 5 . Approach : 

 The next time , I think we ’d need to sharpen our skills of brainstorming sessions in which we do   mind - mapping together with the team . This will help us save on time ( which is a very important   aspect for our organization culture ) . Also , we would go back to the management with 4 - 5   successful mind - mapping meetings that generate some result to get their buy - in that will make it   a part of our agile forever .
