Example Reflection – Visualization

Challenge & Selection

Visualization is the very first thing I do, before I start the project for innovation or problem  solving. Everybody used to think before start something new. That’s thinking we can get  advanced and more reliable with using tools of visualization, or visual thinking. This is very  helpful for identify and define possible solutions to the problem. When I was thinking for create  mobile application for paying police fine tickets, me also think how will create this application  user friendly and what will I include for this application and what will people like with this  application. So, I decided to use the technique of using a straw man visualization of a problem  domain with a set of questionnaire form for stockholders. I created the set of questions and  give them to chances to represent their opinions about this application and what should add  functionalities. Then I can get roughly idea about the what should I build and more ideas and  huge scope about the project what I do.

Application

I start the process by creating a straw man graphic of the problem domain. I used to draw  diagram to get whole application into piece of paper. I will draw whole application into project  diagram and project plan to understand the environment. So, it shows what application will do,  what will stockholder do with this, how to do main thing of this application, how will handle  payment gateway and what are the advantages and benefits of using this. Then I create the  questionnaire form and take their answers and opinions.

So, I selected 10 of people in different industry or area of interest to give my questionnaire  form. First of all, I explain my project application to them using my diagrams and project plan.  Because of that, it will very helpful to get rough idea about what kind of solution I that. So, after  that I gave them to my questionnaire form one by one each. There are nine questions and as a  tenth question I request give their opinions about that. These questions need answers as select  the right one. I gave them to four answers with the question and they need to read and select  the answers. The answers are 1) Highly agree 2) Agree 3) Not sure 4) Not agree Like that. Then I  can get a clear idea about what they thought about my questions.

After the questionnaire form session, I decided to discuss with them about what they answered  about the application. So, Read most common answers of the questions in one by one each and  hear them to their opinions. In that case, if I have any doubt or something about their opinions,  I can ask them why you did pointed that view and how it generalized with our solution. I think it  is the better way to visualize this application better way. Then I can get proper idea about what  they thoughts and what are the positive way to build up this application.

Insight & Approach

What I thought and learnt from this session is what an important things and ideas can identify  for that project. Specially, their feedback and opinions are really helpful for future  implementation about the project. This will helpful for resolve something my doubts and some  problems. The more valuable aspect of the activity is the shared insights and shared learning  that occurs while they are working to define their problem space. Also, they can understand  very well about the application with that solution and what kind of solution and how will useful  for solve the problem we discussed.

Since I discovered that the most valuable aspect is the shared insights and learning, next time I  would use the visualization activity as a starting point for a series of design thinking activities.  That is most reliable and efficient work to beginning of the kind of innovation or some problem  solving project. This kind of visualization can apply any work like that design thinking project.
