Reflection Mind Mapping

Challenge

As a corporate company that provides Information Technology services to more than 32 companies, within the multiple services offered, we are in charge of the department of innovation and application development, all development requirements are requested by email, where they ask us for an interview to express to us the problem by which they require our services. In the interview, the members expose us to the problems they want to solve, and we take note of everything that the client tell us, those involved, the departments, if there is any application in function currently, etc. The challenge we face is to concentrate on a single sheet all the information that the client provides us.

Selection

For the challenge of concentrating all the information on a single sheet we select the Mental Map tool, with this tool we will write down everything that the client comments, can even include formats and audios in the digital versions, those involved and possible solutions, this mental map represents the first contact with the client and throughout the whole process will add ideas to the same map and are versioned according to the other meetings that we have with the client until we get the development prototype.

Application

According to our mental map, we are giving structure to the problem raised by the team, the first thing is to determine the objective of the problem to be solved and if we have the ability to solve it according to the human, material and financial resources that the problem raises. Once the above point has been identified, we analyze whether there is no tool on the market that can meet the requirements raised, if a similar tool exists, a live demo is requested and quotes are requested, once we have all the above documents we perform software engineering to determine the database and programming language according to the previous experiences of the developed systems. The first point of development is the entity relationship diagram that determines the fields, tables and relationship that exists between them. It should be noted that all these steps are reflected in the mental map in order to present it at the end of development as a measure of control and structure. The advances are also added to the mind map for future developments, as in the end a closing document is made largely supported by the mental map.

Insight & Approach

Throughout my productive life I have had different teams and projects, in some cases I am a project leader or in some are part of the team, and the mental map tool has been well accepted throughout all my projects, most people understand the structure and shape of a mental map and I also consider it to be a very easy method to be able to structure not only projects, but any idea that requires an analysis.

There is a phrase that I like to apply when I do a project and it is "order and method" I consider that the mental map application performs a concentration of ideas of all the team members, and it will give them an "order" after analyzing the brainstorming we will structure a "method" to solve the problem posed.
