RISKING LOCAL OPTIMA…
We all have a tendency to claiming to know the truth, based on a usually very limited, subjective experience.
• Within our limited perception…
• …without sufficient context…
• …we forget that other limited, subjective experiences may be equally true.

WE WERE BLIND - DATABASES.
• Data, not information(~lacking context)
• Very good at reporting what hasbeen…
• …what is…
• Poor at telling you what will be

VISUALIZATION.
• Great at showing trends, quickly intelligible
• Data becomes information
• Decision-making support
Risk:
• Visualizing the wrong thing
• Dashboard information mightlack context
Examples
• Nagios
• Kibana
• Tasktop Viz

INTEGRATION – MAKING DATA FLOW.
• Integrate tools to avoid local optima
• The goal:
Connect whole process chains and business data
• Examples
• Therefore™
• Tasktop Integration Hub
• Microsoft Teams with Webhooks
• Atomist

Visualization Integration
HAVING THE CAKE AND EATING IT.
Brüggemann – ModernRE2020 - Visualization
• No direct relation – it is either, or!
• Try “3 Ways of DevOps”
• Create, shorten and amplify feedback loops.
• Continued experimentation, to learn from mistakes.

FROM LOCAL OPTIMA TO SYSTEMIC OPTIMIZATION.
Let’s improve document quality by hiring another writer, does that affect customer support?
Does it affect the error rate if we had all phones, Slack and Skype muted?

• We don’t know, we just guess
• Just like the blind men in the fable
• Next step
• Use models and scenarios
• Combine visualization and integration
• Allow changes “inline”

ANNOTATIONS AND INLINE CHANGES.
Brüggemann – ModernRE2020 - Visualization
#1: Introducing
annotations.
Note in the appropriate
place what has been
changed where and
how.
#2: Allow inline
changes directly from
visualization.
Baselining/scenarios.
Use sliders to change
values directly inline

LARGER SYSTEMS, MORE DYNAMICS…
• Use system dynamics modeling software like Ventana Vensim
• Excel is also possible (…but takes longer to setup…)
