Challenge & Selection 

 My current project is the „ Development of an Application for Schools “ . To understand the multiple   interests and requirements of the different stakeholders within this project I used the tool of visualization 

 The app is an already ongoing project I was asked to jump into as a Visual Designer . The app will help   teachers , students and parents to organize and help in the daily life of a students learning . The app   should in the end be used from teachers , students and their parents , so it will have three different entry   points and views . 

 Furthermore there will be the stakeholders who would ﬁnance , develop and make the project possible :   people from the government of the country where schools will apply and work with this app in near   future . On top there is the company which is producing the app . To ﬁnd out and ﬁnally be able to agree   on most important issues of this project I decided to use the tool of Visualization and to ask   stakeholders that where available to me ( the teachers view , see the drawing ) . 

 Application 

 I invited a friend of mine who works as a   teacher to join me with this project . While I   was drawing - starting from the center - which   is the app- we both were talking about   possible interests from each side of the   stakeholders ( the software company , the   government , the parents , the pupils , the   teacher ) 

 We came down to the solution that from   teachers perspective the app should be 

 - simple to use - there should be no conﬂicting courses ( the 

 same online and ofﬂine material ) 

 - it should be fun , positive and motivating to 

 the pupils . 

 This was the main input from a teachers   perspective . We did agree on some other   interests concerning parents , pupils etc and   the whole process became very vivid as I had   fun on drawing the different stakeholders and   getting so much new input from the view of a   real teacher . 

 With these results I would now go on and do   the same process to all the other   stakeholders that are available . Gathering this   information - especially in workshops where   more people and stakeholders are available   at the same time would lead to much more   information as one response will be   inﬂuencing the next . 

 Insight 

 What I have learned from this exercise is that talking about stakeholder interests gets much more   easy if all participants of the project share their views and if this immediately is written down and   gets visualized . It helps the process of coming to more input and ideas and the process itself is   much more fun than just talking . It is a good way of organizing information while talking about it . 

 Approach   The drawing will easily become a reference tool for the next workshop and will serve as a constant   reference to hang it up on a wall and stick to the ﬁndings while going on with the development .
