Tool Used – Visualization 

 Challenge 

 I work as a UI developer in my organization . As a UI developer my primary focus was to develop the   screens with the functionality for the particular project I was working . The project was to be delivered in   real quick time and for the User experience wireframes ( UX screens ) development we needed a UX   designer but which we could n’t afford as it would take time in hiring a UX designer and explaining all the   business requirements in quick time . So the challenge was to use my skills and transform myself into a   UX designer and come up with the screens . This includes ramping myself into an UX mindset and also   think according to the business and deliver a standard designs . I have used the technique of using a   visualization of a problem domain by asking questions for discussion to make a large group of audience   to learn from each other in the process of defining relationships between elements to consider when   identifying opportunities or improvements for the solutions . 

 Selection 

 I discussed with my colleagues regarding several design thinking tools but after a discussion we selected   tool of Visualization . We selected this tool as UX screens are nothing but the visual representation of   business functionality / activities and also visualization helps in unlocking our brain to design and give a   simple way to understand things . So we felt visualization or visual thinking tool will be best suited for   this . 

 Application 

 I started the procedure by creating a lay man view of the business logic either by discussing with the   business people directly or through the documents or any written materials available . First step was   analyzing the business points and come up with the rough visual design for it and asking my colleagues   to have a look on the design and ask them to give the valuable feedback . The lay man view was as   simple as possible by just using the simplest icons or the shapes available so that the viewers   ( Colleagues in this case ) can understand it easily . I divided the group into individuals of two into three   groups . Each group was given the task of looking into the visual and come up with the feedback . Once   the feedback was received and based on that the design would be modified and after a several analysis   through feedback designing a final copy of the view . Second step was to show the same design to the   business people and receive feedback from them . Final step was to compare the feedback and proposed   changes from the business and my colleagues and generalize what exactly was common with both   feedbacks as the individual group and to keep this for the future reference . 

 Insights 

 The learnings from this was the stakeholders / Business people were able to visualize the   things through   the visual representation and was really helpful for them to understand the functionality or the business   in a better way and suggest the possible missing ’s or changes which were required . This also gave a   general template understanding the point of view of the business and the common stakeholders . 

 Approach 

 As I discovered that the most valuable outcome was the shared feedback ( Business and stakeholders )   and visualization played an important role in helping the business and stakeholders to understand the   problem . I can continue with the visualization tool and use the general template ( Outcome of the   exercise ) to complete the remaining work .
