My Reflection – Visualization 

 Challenge 

 I am the member of the business analyst team from AAA consultancy company . The challenge I choose   for this exercise is about farmers facing issue on water scarcity for their agriculture land & ended up   with low yield . This project is to understand what will be the better technology and crops that can be   the better solution to farmers to cultivate their farming and yield better during this water crisis . This   project should not take more than 100 days and scope is limited to only 50 SQ.KM . This project is not   working on reason for water crisis and not bringing any new source of water . This really requires a   design thinking approach as we do n’t have any past data relevant to this water crisis problem , type of   crops to cultivate ( or ) any earlier relevant project related to this . 

 Selection 

 I choose Visualization tool for solving this problem because this will help us to better understand the   problem , where to focus , who are the target people , simple schematic steps to be followed and shared   feedbacks can be captured at the beginning and so end result can be achieved efficiently . For this   exercise , farmers different group of people with varying land sizes , age , demographic difference ,   experience in different crops cultivation , financial status for initial investment and all these details to be   understood thoroughly to identify and propose better solution . Hence we choose Visualization tool . 

 Application 

 I start this process by drawing simple schematic on agriculture farming land , marking the SQ.Km area   that I am going to cover in this project . To get this data , I will approach local government office to get   this land area details and the same will be marked on the schematic . Then I will mark schematic with   different variety types of crops farmers currently cultivating , for this I will engage few groups of farmers   to share their info on what they are cultivating , and I will create a kind of survey questions that will   capture the following with a time frame . ( A)What type of crop do you cultivate & what is the season ? ( B )   How much amount of water is required for different crops and where is the water source ? ( C)What is   expense and profit details ( D ) What are the current issues farmers facing . I will also get the annual and   seasonal rainfall details for the area which I choose from the Internet ( or ) thru ’ government offices . I will   also collect the sand from the area for soil test and understand the suitable crop to cultivate . This can be   get tested from Agriculture office 

 With all the above data , I can plot the different hand - written graphs showing land area , types of soil ,   what types of crops to cultivate , what farmers are currently cultivating , water availability status , best   suitable crop based on type of soil , best suitable technology like drip irrigation or sprinkler technology   which can save water , indoor or outdoor farming . These hand - written graphs will explore possible   solution to this problem . For this , I will engage group of farmers , agriculture officers , water technology   service agencies , to get the collective brainstorming ideas to test it them for best possible and feasible   solution for farmers with time frame . 

 Insight 

 The insight what I have gained from this exercise is , the effectiveness of your solution is really based on   the deeper understanding you have on the problem & steps involved . Without understanding the   problem , the focus areas and target groups are hidden and you will not know what would be the best   solution is . During this exercise , the initial schematic had incorrect steps and that was avoided and   corrected from collective feedback from the team upfront .   This really made possible because of   Visualization tool which saves your effort and timing throughout the exercise . Will be really helpful and   easily understandable by everyone on what they are working , their roles throughout the exercise 

 Approach 

 I found that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning , next time I would use the   visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities . Then the revised   schematic that incorporates their combined feedback can serve as a reference tool throughout the   remainder of their work .
