Diagramming as a Communication Tool
Learning a variety of diagramming methods and system modelling tools both from Steven Dean and Abby Covert I have created a lot of maps and diagrams to explain the complicated relationships between the stakeholders and situations of the project Uplift, over the last two months.
Last week, in Abby Covert's workshop I showed my first mapping sketch, Map v.1. After having a discussion with the group and criticizing my own mapping by using the guidance provided by Abby, I iterated the map and created Map v.2. Some of the criteria that I took into consideration while re-designing my map were the direction of the flow, the clarity of the purpose, color coding and the relationship between things.
