Challenge & Selection

We have challenge to build one integrated system includes warehouse, tracking system and with  financial data and when brainstorming a new product concept or evaluating a new feature idea during  product design, note-taking sometimes gets out of hand—one can end up with pages of scribbles which  are often more confusing than helpful. Mind maps are a great way to organize thoughts more  productively. Because mind maps are two-dimensional in structure, they show us the shape of the  subject, the relative importance of each point, and how the facts relate to each other. Being able to see  all of this in one place helps us review information efficiently, remember it better, and improve creative  problem-solving.

Application

Mind maps always start from a central point, which is the main topic, and branch out into

subcomponents. Aside from hierarchical lines (the main branches), mind maps can also have

relationship lines. These can be shown as dotted lines that indicate relationships between elements that

exist on different branches.Although not pictured , mind map nodes can also contain images or icons.

There’s no rigid structure to such maps. That’s what makes them great. They should be as free-flowing

as a person’s thought process.

After some research, team has a clear picture of what the system needed , the user design, and the

companies’ advantage. Now, it’s time to figure out what the system needs to do and how it will do it.

This system will need two types of integration: oracle and HP. What would they need in the app? More

than likely the following with each breakdown:

  Knowing integration points

  Data will be integrated

  Creating the interface

Insight

By applying the min mapping  we designed and tested new created system. Through the learning

process we got to improve our system function and design to meet users expectations also the new

requirements/features as they recommended to have. By this system we become having unified one

system contain all hardware and software assets with its mapping and users custody which facilitate our

teams E2E efforts to calculate its lifecycle and total cost of ownership from owning the asset and till its

retirement. Our management now have full authority to decide all actions based on info exported from

this system and now we can take strategically decisions based on such unified system as example we can

decide to change full systems based on such insights and data collected from reporting module added

on this great system.

Approach

By applying the mind mapping tool another tool like visualization and storytelling directly applied in

order to perform a more perfect results learning launch is another tool that I would be considered in the

next steps. One of the reason is that a mind map can become unwieldy if not structured well, which can

lead to confusion. Also, strong linear thinkers may find the radial thinking of the mind mapping process

difficult to deal with.
