Too many ways to skin a cat
Our project is to make virtual design thinking better. When not in a physical environment, the most practical question In the process of doing DT virtually almost always becomes “how do we want to keep this?”
Once an idea has 3-4 different facets it quickly becomes difficult to organize and keep track of it. You can color code and map it into a grid, matrix, chart, what have you, BUT once it comes time do do anything else with said ideas it would really be nice to have each of those facets more like a spreadsheet/table/database form.
Virtually, you can do that but there’s still not an easy way to go back/forth without a lot of copy/paste. Should I start out as a spreadsheet and then visualize (slower at first)? Or should I just throw everything up there and color code and move around until it makes sense and then move to something more rigid (slower later)? Right now there’s no good answer. Hopefully IBM will run with our project and the world will have something better in the near future. My team is awesome and what we’ve come up with is, too.
