Mind mapping

Challenges

Mind mapping is one of the most powerful tools in the design thinking. It is used to look for patterns and  insights that lead to more creative solutions to your design challenge. In the first phase of design  thinking process is “what is”. We get a huge amount of data. The next phase is “what if” in which we  need to condense all that data into information and insights that can be easily communicated. This can  be done very well using mind mapping.

Mind mapping is looking for patterns and insights in a large quantity of data we collected. The goal is to  establish criteria for the “what-if”, this is pivotal in the design thinking process. Mind mapping provides  easy flow from “what is” to “what if”. Mind mapping is an engaging alternative to report or else we will  have to summarise them I chart.  Mind mapping is more intuitive. It’s more creative. It's more visual,  and it's more engaging.

Through mind mapping, we extract meaning from data in a way that lets patterns and insights come to  light, but the design thinking process of generating the map, deliberately involves many stakeholders.

Selection

Mind mapping is most common used technique in project management. This technique is used to collect  and consolidate ideas created through brainstorming sessions with the team. The consolidated map  reflects the agreements as well as differences in understanding or generating new ideas. This technique  provides visual representation through maps so that everyone in the team the leader as well as the  members can discuss and further explore the ideas further to analyse and solve the problems. Creating a  mind map follows few principles, the idea or the problem (the main focus) in the middle and the sub  topics or the categories to analyse the problem are written around. In a mind map the diagram captures  the idea or the problem.

Application

In the first project we will be a mind map, as it helps users grasp knowledge points quickly and we can  view the concept as a whole. Visualization with less text and more pictures makes it more intuitive and  understandable. Taking the notes in mind map is inspiring and expressive, it is concise and saves both  energy and time with more efficiency. Brainstorming can develop one’s thoughts to help them find more  inspiration and more information.

Project managers can use different mind mapping techniques to create mind maps. The whiteboard or  paper mind map is commonly used in project management planning. It is a very simple way of  presenting the idea. Mind mapping software can also be used.

Mind maps are important during the project implementation phase. They are created before even  writing the scope of the project. It helps the team to determine every resource needed for the project. It  can be used as an indicator of the constraints that may affect the completion and quality of the project.

The most important benefit is that it provides a visual way of expressing ideas and communicating these  ideas to the rest of the team members. Mind maps have been used by project managers for a long time.

When there will be business meeting discussing the problem or the idea it will be very helpful for the  speaker as it lays out all the main idea and details better, the speaker will be able to deliver more  fluently.

Insight

The systematic and logical thinking will create more creativity and promote innovation. A Deep and  comprehensive understanding of the problems will accelerate the phase of solving it as mind map has of  visual details which will urge people to think more deeply.

Mind map offers a well systematic, organized and clear way to make plans showing all the details  visually that enables us to find out the priorities easily. We can view the short term and the long-term  goals clearly, enabling us to categories goals in small achievable objectives.
