Reflection – Mind Mapping 

 Challenge & Selection 

 As a project manager , the first great tool of design thinking I utilized to understand a 

 problem in managing my project and my team effectively was the mind mapping tool . I often use 

 this tool since it develops my project management skills , leads the team much more efficiently , 

 and problem - solves by integrating it into my business projects . I have used this versatile 

 technique which has stood the test of time in my project management . The technique enabled me 

 to gather ideas and improve my productivity , memory , and creativity since from planning to the 

 execution , effective management of the project required a combination of productivity , 

 organization , and leadership with a dash of innovative thinking for good measure . Therefore , the 

 technique acted as a catalyst in drawing my mind 's most creative ideas that I captured in 

 something tangible , taking the project I was working on to the next level . 

 Application 

 I begin by determining the scope of a project . I will let a team fill out the project 's 

 conditions , deliverables , requirements , and assumptions to establish the project 's scope . Drawing 

 a colorful graphic for the project might be especially helpful in determining the scope of the job . 

 If necessary , I will break down the project 's scope into precise tasks , assigning individual tasks to 

 my team and myself with deadlines connected to each component . To save time and efficiently 

 exchange ideas through presentations , I will hold meetings as the project manager and use the 

 strategy of highlighting the needed information for the project in minutes instead . I will use the 

 tool since it is ideal in presentations instead of using slides with heavy text in engaging the team , 

 thus making it more valuable . 

 The tool will assist me in properly managing my team . For example , I will assign 

 different people to different responsibilities and establish an organizational structure that will 

 allow me to choose who should be reported . It will make it easy to reference and arrange 

 resources in all project phases for the project 's resource repository . Instead of uploading many 

 resources and papers , this will make each part easy to access . 

 In the problem - solving activity , I will use the tool to address and fix the arising issues . 

 This will be easy through the simplification of the problems . Using the tool will understand 

 problems easily and relevant information to be collected more easily for informed choices in the 

 decision - making process . 

 Insight & Approach 

 I have learned from this activity that mind mapping allows you to successfully brainstorm 

 and sketch the key elements that make up any business project 's fundamental idea . A manager 

 can merge thoughts , resources , and ideas into a mind map diagram in an easily digestible and 

 well - organized manner . It also aids in establishing a project 's scope , resolves challenges , creates 

 precise tasks , successfully manages a team , and makes decisions . 

 Since I learned that the most beneficial component is the shared insights , I would use the 

 mind mapping technique as a jumping - off point for a series of design thinking exercises the next 

 time . The project management exercise can be used as a work reference .
