Visualization Reflection 

 Challenge 

 My challenge was to describe the best I can the new design of the apps that we were going to   build for our client , apps that were meant to replace the ones from the old environment , used   by the stakeholders and the employees of the company to provide relevant information   regarding their sales performance . The challenge was to come up with a clear picture of how they   are going to look like and to dissipate any concerns that they might have . 

 Selection 

 I chose to use the visualization tool to complete this challenge as for me this was the best   solution . I think Angela Myer describes it best in the Visualization Tool video , part of this course .   First of all , I had to imagine the new design , started sketching and the more I started to visualize   the mockup , I understood how the customer experience ideally is going to work . 

 Application 

 The first step was to know my audience and by this , understanding their expectations . We had   discussions , we documented the changes and we set the guidelines . Next , I used an external   sketching tool to capture my first ideas and once we agreed on three different designs of each   app , I started creating the mockups in the testing environment .    For each app I have used the same color scheme to keep consistent throughout data   visualizations . For the Gauge charts I have used green , yellow and red depending on their   performance as they can be recognized and deciphered with ease , while for Pie charts I have   used tones of the same color as they are displaying the proportion and not the performance . 

 I have done a comparison between each of the three new versions placing them side by side and   highlighted the differences between them for a better understanding . I have also compared each   version with the old ones as their main requirement was to have a smooth transition to the new   technology and they wanted to keep them consistent and not change too much from the   beginning .     They took a decision and agreed on a single version for each app and did the final touches .   The process completed with a walkthrough meeting with a live demo of each app .     Insight 

 I think using the Visual Thinking gives the stakeholders a common base of discussions . This is   really important because there are situations where they can not agree on a solution if they do   not have the same or at least a close perspective . So , visualizing the problem or even the various   solutions ( like in my example ) can be very helpful for them . The mockups I have created are giving   them a starting point of debates on which they can build and draw conclusions that eventually   will led to a final product .   They can quickly identify any missing info from the apps , or they can adjust their requirements   before releasing them into production .   So I can say that the Visualization technique is one of the most relevant tools of Design Thinking   and can be used to accelerate innovation and growth in our organizations .     Approach 

 I would definitely apply the same technique because in my opinion it is best suited for such   situations . What I would do different is probably to organize a walkthrough meeting for both old   and new apps , not only for the new ones , so the comparison between them would be more   complex and would bring more clarity to the changes .
