Mind Map (aka, Brainstorming) with Visio [Tech_ASG_1]
The purpose of this assignment is to learn how to use a drawing/diagramming tool (Visio) for mind mapping (aka, brainstorming). The mind mapping (or brainstorming) technique is used to organize the information. More specifically for the information technology and systems (IT/IS) development, it is used to identify and define user requirements in the IT/IS projects. (Please read the article of ‘Exploring User Requirements through Mind Mapping’ posted in the instruction to understand how the mind mapping technique is used in the IT/IS development practice.) By completing this assignment, you will understand how the mind mapping (or brainstorming) software tool can be used for a real world IT/IS project and be able to apply your diagramming skill with Visio to the IT/IS development practices.
