Thoughts on why visuals are so important to me and my work as a business analyst, how the benefits of drawing visuals and writing run in parallel, and how to get started on diagramming effectively.
Ahh the joys of diagrams is definitely something I feel I could improve upon. Process maps is an area always on my mind, getting started is always the hardest part for me. Totally agree that visual communication helps the stakeholders understand more easily.
Have you seen Jay Foreman's mini YouTube series on the London tube map?
I thought the history was interesting. But the simple elegance of the map's design makes it so iconic and user-friendly, the design became a popular choice around the world.
I thought it speaks to your point about the importance of visual communication.
