spider map (also known as a mind map)

To create a spider map (also known as a mind map) for the task of moving existing systems from Access type databases to a new solution, you can follow this structured visualization:

Spider Map: Transition from Access Databases to a New Solution

Central Node: Transition from Access Databases

Main Branches and Sub-Branches:

  1. Define Requirements
    • Identify Current Functionalities
    • Gather Stakeholder Input
    • Document Limitations
    • Define New System Requirements
  2. Work with Developers
    • Collaborate on System Design
    • Create AS IS Mapping
      • Current Architecture
      • Data Flows
      • Functionalities
    • Create TO BE Mapping
      • Future System Design
      • Improvements and Enhancements
  3. Stakeholder Management
    • Engage Stakeholders
    • Communicate Benefits
    • Address Concerns
    • Provide Regular Updates
    • Solicit Feedback
  4. System Analysis
    • Analyze Current Systems
    • Document Data Structures
    • Document Workflows
    • Create AS IS System Map
  5. Designing the New System
    • Design Architecture
    • Develop TO BE System Map
    • Ensure Requirement Fulfillment
  6. Development and Migration Planning
    • Plan Migration Process
    • Develop Project Timeline
    • Set Milestones and Deadlines
  7. Implementation

Visualization

Here’s how you can visualize the spider map:

sqlCopy code                    Transition from Access Databases

This structure allows you to visually map out each aspect of the transition process, making it easier to understand and communicate the plan. Each branch can further expand into sub-branches as necessary to cover more detailed tasks and components.
