This week I created a concept map, two mind maps, started a customer journey map, and completed an information architecture. The concept map is used to help simplify and understand what my app intends to actually do, and what someone might expect to see in different sections of the app. The first mind map I created was slightly off-style from the version we were replicated so I was encouraged to redo the assignment in the exact same style. The main issue with my first version was that I wrapped the items in bubbles and instead they should be simple lines connecting lines. The second time around I was able to simplify the process and be more specific in my goals, so it worked out. My incomplete customer journey map is posted just to show I;m making progress on it, but I was discuss it more next week. My information architecture shows exactly where someone will find the different items in my app. I have four main sections: Get Started, My Plan, Idea Board, and About the App.
