One way or another, quality professionals communicate and deal in information –  

  • Encouraging or explaining results
  • Clarifying data analysis
  • Establishing yourself as a thought leader
  • Educating the Stakeholders

For a Quality professional, the following factors play a key role in determining project success-

  • Brevity – The package of communication should help the stakeholders quickly understand the Problem Statement
  • Decision – Faster awareness helps in quicker decision making, which in turn leads to project success.
  • Engagement – Data Visualization helps in telling a story, stories inspire actions, and help draw interest across the project team, which helps in the team’s buy-in, problem-solving, brainstorming, etc. All of these are the key characteristics of infographics.

    Quality Professionals understand what the data means, and hence they should be able to help unpack the meaningful data story (amid a large amount of data) and be part of the audience mapping to make sure the design will have the appropriate level of technical depth for the target audience.

    • Infographic Wedding Card
    1. One of the most boring presentations I have come across is a wedding card – the bride and the groom would choose a card from many creative ones, but they all end up looking the same.
    2. Every time I get a card, I look at the details of the venue, the date, and time and nothing more, and I also know where they are located, on the card.
    3. But a wedding card means a lot to the bride and groom, which was something I realized on my wedding, and that was when I got my first taste of Infographics.
    4. In 2013, I was getting married to a Japanese national, and we planned to create a wedding card to be given out to my friends and family using infographics.
    5. Before designing the card I built a simple Quality Function Deployment to understand what would engage my audience and came up with the customer requirements through brainstorming and I designed the card in a way that provides the following information:
    • How did I convince her parents
    • Who is the girl
    • What we plan to do in future
    • What to expect at the wedding
    • What we plan to do in future

    The goal was to see a genuine smile on the reader’s face, which we managed to pull off, and when I posted it on social media, I was blown away by the comments, of which 90% declared it to be the most creative card they had ever seen, with it receiving the highest number of likes and maximum engagement on Facebook of all my updates.
