Wardley Mapping Team Cognitive Load - Part 1/2
In the past, when I started a project, I used Lean Canvas to help me know my value proposition. I stopped using it. The Lean Canvas isn’t helping me at this stage. I can fill the canvas, but most of those points will be assumptions that will bring me a false sense of control or just generic enough that will apply to any project I…

The map

Based on what we learned, we could say:

But building on top of google sheets feels odd right? Let’s rethink the map with other components that fulfill those needs.

Rethinking the components

All the components I mentioned were used because the Team Cognitive Load Assessment uses Google Forms and google sheets underneath. Those two components influenced everything else we built on top.

Let’s start from scratch.

I will add another need that was implicit in the previous map, managing teams and their members.

What is needed to fulfill those needs?

We need four main components:

  • Running the survey. Which notifies the team members to respond to the survey for a specific time frame.

  • Team<>Members ’ relationship to know who belongs to which team when the survey is sent.

  • Cognitive load survey results to calculate the teams’ cognitive load at one point.

  • Cognitive load historic to see the evolution of teams’ cognitive load over time.

Those components will use off-the-shelf components such as:

  • Notification system: either Slack or email

  • PostgreSQL: because not building on top of spreadsheets should be obvious

Now it’s more clear what the project will do and what I should custom build :D

Next post: Team Cognitive Load tech stack

I will share what I decided to use to custom-build those components. I will share things such as:

  • Libraries/Frameworks

  • Deployment strategy

  • Monitoring

  • Databases

  • Authentication system
