Reflection – Visualisation 

 Challenge & Selection     I am faced with three challenges : 

 1 . Building one application for three different emergency service alert procedures .   2 . Working with participates that are unfamiliar with design thinking and may doubt it ’s worth .   3 . Locked - in requirements . 

 I choose the tool of Visualisation to draw out and align ideas from three different emergency   service agencies . This ensured product buy - in from all three agencies as they were a part of the   process to create it . And because they were a part of the journey from the start , they would have   an understand of why certain decision were made , and why some ideas were rejected .      To find what would work for all three agencies , I conducted a paper prototyping session .   Paper will be used to simulate the application screens .     Application     For the session I created an introduction to paper prototyping presentation , knowing many would   not have done this before . The aim of the presentation was not only to show them the process and   what we hope to achieve by the end of it , but to alleviate any fears that they may ‘ not be good at it ’   ( “ yes , there is some drawing involved , but we are not expecting a Monalisa ” ) , or it ’s not a   worthwhile exercise ( “ knowing what ’s important to you will help us make decision later in the   process ” ) .      I organised the room layout to ensure there was a table for each agency , with plenty of paper ;   pens ; and scissors . Each table had its own facilitator to help guide each agency through the process   of drawing screen elements , cutting them out and arranging them to make screens , and shifting   elements up & down based on importance .      The requirements dictated the “ screens ” we would create , and at the end of the session each table   would playback what they had created to the other tables .       Insight & Approach     Having a visual representation of the screen allowed each person to clearly see : 

 • If there was mission criteria information missing for their agency .   • If there was too much information on one screen for it to be useful .   • How best to group items , to make them more useful . 

 The exercise gave the participates a sense of what was to come , build engagement & excitement   for next steps ( user testing the outcomes ) . 

 In the end some very exciting ideas and screens were generate , but each agency took a different   approach from the others . Though this helped each agency individually , it did not address the   alignment challenge .      The fear of tiring out the participates with a workshop that would go for too long , prevented me   from throwing the agencies together . I took on the challenge of aligning all three designs into one   myself when I should have asked the agencies . Even if no solution was found , it would demonstrate   why some of what were on their screens would not be in the final product .

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.
