Visualization Tool 

 Challenge & Selection 

 Mind Map is a tool that I am familiar with as I used it to organize my ideas , thoughts and plans before   any meeting with my supervisor during my Master program . I believe that Visualization simplify and   consolidate large amounts of information into a readable format . 

 This course has showed me how visualization can be also used in a design process and how it can used to   tackle various challenges . 

 In a manufacturing industry where I work , there are different challenges we face during the stages of   releasing any new products . From my experience , the challenges we face are in the planning stage as it   consume a lot of time because it is the stage where the entire release is structured from the beginning to   the end . Also , the founder involves himself in all the stages and takes most of the important decisions   related to product design and execution without delegating them to other team members , hence new   ideas comes up during the mid of the process and we fall off track with the main goal which is another   major challenge . 

 Application 

 As mentioned earlier , I have used the visualization tool ( Mind Mapping ) during my Master program . I   used it to highlight the main discussion point I would like to discuss with my supervisor before any   meeting starting from the “ Thesis Topic ” in the center of the diagram and detailed every sub - topic to   include in the thesis . It was very useful for me and for my supervisor who finds it so easy and simple way   to have a clear vision and structure the thesis ahead of time which makes it very simple to follow later . 

 After this course , I suggested to use the visualization thinking in one of the meeting which focuses on   developing existing access and attendance software . We started by collecting clients feedback from   different departments ( Sales , Marketing and Customer Service ) . The meeting started by displaying the   visualized data on a large screen and pre - prepared set of questions are asked to expand   creative thinking and ensure everyone participate in the meeting . Participants were from different   departments with different experience and not only the technical team , the meeting was led by the   founder who was amazed at the amount of valuable information that was presented at the meeting and   how participants learn from each other . This practice also encourages teamwork where a diverse   experience and background team meet , share their ideas , consider customer needs and the problem to be   solved . This helped them to discover a lot of thoughts that was not been thought of earlier and whether   the suggestions discussed will address the problem . 

 Insight & Approach 

 I found that conducting brainstorming session and Mind Mapping tools are a great way to visualize ideas   and organize thoughts more productively especially at early stages of the design process such as defining ,   and ideating . 

 The data collected focused on additional features to be added to the software and some customizations   requests . The visualized thinking allowed the team to define the key common features that need to be   added to the coming release . It assists in having a structured framework that incorporates all objectives   in order to avoid wavering off track . 

 It also used to have powerful and fruitful meetings to get everyone on the same page . The team will be   aware of the design criteria and the action plan to follow which in consequence eliminates the risk of   changing the design continuously whenever a new idea comes up . 

 Since using visualization tool has significantly reduced the time involves at the planning stage and   provides higher efficiency process . The team and founder have agreed to use it for all upcoming design   meetings and activities . The final graph / diagram will be used as a shared framework and guidelines for   the product release process .
