This article mainly introduces how to use Scrum agile development tool Leangoo brain map to achieve impact map, with certain reference value, interested friends can refer to, I hope you have a lot of gains after reading this article, let Xiaobian take you to understand.

Version 5.8.12 of Leangoo released Leangoo's Brain Map feature. Leangoo Mind Map is a shared Mind Map, it has all the attributes of Mind Map, but it is not just a Mind Map, so what is different about Leangoo Mind Map? There are three main points as follows:

1. Leangoo brainmaps are synchronized and shared in real time by the project team, and do not need to be exported to others in the project.

2. Leangoo Brain Map supports multiplayer online editing and collaboration.

3. The nodes of Leangoo Mind Map are the same as the cards on Leangoo Kanban. Rich text documents are supported. Attachments, check-ups, workloads and comments can be added.

So, it can be used to represent requirements, tasks, tests, a document, etc. And each node can be referenced to Kanban.

With these characteristics, Leangoo Brain Map is very powerful. Leangoo Mind Map has many practical scenarios for agile development, such as implementation impact maps, user story maps, multi-level requirements management, knowledge management, test cases, iterative review, etc. We will introduce these practical scenarios through a series of articles.

In this article, we start with the influence map and introduce how to implement the influence map with Leangoo brain map.

What is an impact map?

In software development and product development environments, gaps in mutual understanding, communication, and collaboration between business and operations functions and R & D functions prevail. Business and operations focus on business goals, while R & D teams often receive only product features, and the mapping between product features and business goals is vague.

Impact maps are tools that map business value to product capabilities, break down barriers between business and technical people, facilitate collaboration between them, and help them find the shortest path to value.

Affects map structure

The following is an example of an impact map:

·The number of paying enterprises for the Enterprise Edition reached 1500 in the first quarter.

Who

2. Example of an impact map created by Leangoo Brain Map

Below is an impact map created with Leangoo Brain Map:

After selecting a node, open it with the shortcut key [Space]. You can view and edit the details of the node, just like editing cards on Kanban.

Open the node on Leangoo's brain diagram and click the reference button on the right to directly reference it to Kanban for requirements planning or put it into iteration for development.

Usually, we use the influence map tool to derive the specific product characteristics (What) to be developed from the business goal (Why), as shown in the left part of the figure below, where the yellow card represents What. We prioritize these cards according to their value, and then refer them to the product Backlog Kanban and plan them into the corresponding iteration.

1) Leangoo Mind Map is more than just a simple Mind Map; its power lies in sharing and collaboration.

2) The nodes of the Leangoo Mind Map and the cards on the Leangoo Kanban are a concept, so the Leangoo Mind Map can store more complex information, such as rich text, graphics, comments, check-ups, and record card status.

3) The nodes on the brain map can be referenced to Kanban, so that the functional features in the influence map can be directly referenced to Kanban for planning and development. Therefore, Leangoo brain map establishes the connection between the influence map and iterative planning.
