6. Network Map Dashboard
Problem:
• John runs a manufacturing factory that he
inherited from his uncle. He is tech savy, but his
uncle believed in traditional methods. John
realized that all the processes in the factory are
linked, and there are dependencies. His uncle
had told him that tracking the progress of the
various processes is a big challenge.
7. Possible Solution
• Create a network map visualization with each
node as a process and at any point in time it
should tell John, if any processes have failed
and if because of this other dependent
processes are not able to run
