Reﬂection - Visualization 

 Challenge & Selection 

 As a system analyst and project manager in a tech company that works with startups , we 

 are usually seated with people from deferent areas , roles , and experience that try to 

 explain their ideas through talking itself . This way had made us have some trouble ﬁnding 

 a middle ground in explaining their idea from a business side and us analyzing it into 

 digital technology concepts is usually a challenge for us . I selected visualization to help all 

 teams to start using their creative right side of their brain and start visualizing the idea to 

 come to life from both the technical and digital side . 

 The visualization tool is not just drawing characters . It is also using diagrams and shapes 

 or arrows to demonstrate the idea . This helps the team unify their thinking and reach the 

 ultimate goal . 

 In this project , the stakeholder was trying to build a new platform that helps in gathering 

 data on FMCG products from people in a new creative way . Since this scenario had 

 recognized actors such as the product user , distributors , and logistics people , I thought 

 that using the straw man graphic and other pictures , wireframes , and short ﬁlms would be 

 beneﬁcial . 

 Application 

 I start planning the actors by drawing them on the whiteboard while thinking out loud with 

 the stakeholders . We plan by imagining the journey or each of the staw men characters 

 that represent ( end - user , delivery person , and data collector ) . While planing each of the 

 users ' journeys we can now imagine a more detailed structured route and actions that 

 they will be reforming which helped us in knowing where we can automate the processes 

 to get more accurate and deep data . 

 Insight 

 Using this way of designed thinking has helped us tap into the creative side of our brains 

 as well as unifying our way of thinking to have a good understanding of the idea they are 

 trying to explain and agree on from all sides of the business . This approach also 

 incorporates a little bit of the storytelling tool as we needed it to draw the journey of the 

 users on the board . Finally , the IT team will use the images and diagrams imagined and 

 planned to dram more accurate modeling diagrams that help us plan all classes and 

 models of our new upcoming project platform . 

 Approach 

 Our team has enjoyed the visualization tool we used . It made the discovery session more 

 fun and enjoyable as well as it has incorporated the storytelling tool . I would re - use the 

 tool again in our future discovery sessions .
