Mind Mapping (Module 3)

Challenge

In the third part we use a tool called mind map that in principal means that you  have to put all the relevant information about a topic and this would help to  understand better the topic that is in the organizer. Also in this type of organizer  we can found a lot of kind of mind maps for example, in the classification of  them, the most important are Library mind maps for information organizing,  Presentation mind maps for presenting ideas and projects and Tunnel timeline  mind maps for organizing or making a project plan.

Selection

It is a powerful graphic technique you can use to translate what's in  your mind into a visual picture. Since mind mapping works like the brain does it  allows you to organize and understand information faster and better. Then, in my  opinion I think that this tool is a very good option to take some decisions because  with this tool you can see the most relevant information and the main point about  a topic and I choose this tool because I think that is very useful in the industry  because it gives a better view about an item and in some time the people that use  this could found the problem with this incredible tool in my opinion.

Application

We can applied this tool in four main techniques or applications. First get  creative, gather Requirements, bridge silos, brainstorm and finally collaborate.  When we use a mind map it allows that Subject Matter Experts and/or their  audience make cross references and it turns easily function as an instrument for  collaboration during a kick-off meeting, in their we can included notes, links,  attachments, images and even connect multiple mind-maps within a single map,  making it a one stop-shop for collaboration. This tool is a visual representation  during a project kick-off meeting or the front end analysis phase.

In second instance the other application is that this tool is allow to assess prior  knowledge, give an overview, create power-notes and build engagement. A lot of  people use mind maps for example trainer to spark and facilitate discussions and  the participants get the ability to contribute to group discussions, and report back  with the help of a mind map. Adult learners bring a wealth of prior knowledge  into the classroom.

Other application is when we use it for present, outline, summarize, consolidate  and storyboard. Mind maps can easily be turned into broad outlines of course  objectives, as a word or a power point format and also we can use for feedback.  Outlines provide a high-level overview which helps summarize and consolidate  information. A semi-detailed map is a great instrument for power-notes, as well  as a road map for an agenda.

To finish the last one way that we can applied is in a project management, that is  use to complete and comprehensive mind map can be used to delegate phases of  the project. Mapping also helps set up priorities, create deadlines, action items,  budgets, constraints and dependencies.

Insight

With the use of this tool I could say that it brings me more knowledge and it also  in my opinion is a very good tool and when I was working with this tool my  work became more easily I can say because with this tool I have more organized  ideas and also the main thing about the topic of my project and if I want to say  more about the knowledge with this tool is great because you can use this for a  lot of things and activities.

Approach

In the next time that I will use this tool something that I will change is that  maybe I will have only the main information for my study because in this way I  can make an analysis and I think I would not change tool because I think that is a  great option to learn and more easily to take decisions that now in the world is  very important.
