|---|---|---|---|
Purposedifferent | When a usage scenario needs to become understandable early, it condenses situations, context, and flow into a legible sequence. It helps check concept ideas before anything gets built. | Concept Mapping arranges terms and relationships in a network that makes subject-matter connections tangible. It fits when a topic needs to be understood structurally rather than linearly. | For a tightly scoped process segment with noticeable waste, the method bundles shared energy for change. It suits situations that call for fast learning loops and visible adjustments. |
