The Power of Visual Maps to Foster Cross-discipline Collaboration and Team Alignment

In this talk, I'm going to present a series of visual maps used to foster cross-discipline collaboration and team alignment in an enterprise search redesign. Search is a complex experience that requires a highly technical team and cross-discipline collaboration. For this project, I created a search framework to understand users' pain points in a visual map to guide design/development and foster collaboration. We used this framework to redesign search experiences and found it useful to prioritise search features and support collaboration. Participants will learn why using visual maps is useful for team collaboration and they will be inspired to create maps with practical examples.
