The best visual description of a company I've ever seen
- phlux 16y agoHere is one example of how I use Excel to visually convey information about complex systems on a daily basis. http://i.imgur.com/FdYVB.png http://i.imgur.com/FdYVB.png With these, we use various views to convey the information in a layered format - meaning we step through the problems with many representations to make it understandable to those not familiar with the systems/technologies etc... but are the key decision makers with respect to approval/budget/design. In this case, we are documenting the integrations and dependencies of a range of technologies communicating over a common converged network. I try to evolve these diagrams each time as everyone becomes more familiar with the project specifics and the over-arching language of the design. Generally speaking, the blue squares represent work/cost/effort/support/design is needed to get the desired functionality. This helps capture the real amount of effort and work to make an entire system function.
