Reflection - Mind Mapping 

 Challange     Mind mapping is a simple and efficient tool that proves to be very helpful throughout the design   thinking process . I work in student clubs , wherein my peers and I organize activities and events   for other students . We also promote our clubs and their products . Working in teams to come up   with ideas and to make decisions can sometimes be stressful and confusing . The challenge   here is to come up with the best solutions while allowing everyone to share their thoughts and   views comfortably .     Selection     After trying various activities to organize everybody ’s views and thoughts , it seemed like the   simple idea of mind mapping is the most coherent route to follow . Mind mapping is a technique   that works well with teams and also makes complex concepts look simple and easy to   understand . It is a perceptible way to combine our thoughts around one topic using words ,   colors , images , and numbers to highlight ideas and draw connections .     Application     The first way we use mind mapping is to come up with ideas . Mind maps are a framework to   help you thoroughly think through designs and show how topics and ideas are connected and   allowing more flexibility than an outline or list provides . First , we start with a central idea and   then create branches containing its sub - topics . It helps everyone in the team understand the   ideas quickly . Additionally , laying out the concept in an uncomplicated way like this subjects us   to think of better ideas . A mind map is an easy way to brainstorm thoughts organically without   worrying about order and structure .      Next , we use mind mapping when it comes to making decisions too . Since everyone has   different opinions , it is sometimes hard to agree on a single decision . Using mind maps , we can   lay out the ideas so everyone can see and understand the pros and cons of every decision . It   allows us to structure our ideas to help with analysis and recall visually .   It even helps us   discover new relationships among seemingly unrelated ideas and information .       Insight     Using mind maps has taught me a lot of things . It makes working in teams so much easier .   When using mind maps , it is almost like the entire team functions as one brain . During college   fests , there is a lot of pressure on us to develop ideas and manage all the tasks . During such   times , mind maps can easily simplify the entire process . Also , I believe that mind maps enhance   our creative thinking and enable us to become more productive and efficient . 

 Approach     As we continue to use mind maps , I think we can start using any mind mapping software to   make it easier for us to communicate even when the entire team is not together . Other than that ,   next time , we could be more efficient with how we put out our ideas on the board ; brevity and   functionality being two critical things to keep in mind .
