A product-oriented visualization method supporting communication and planning in engineering reviews
ABSTRACT: In iterative product development, teams encounter various issues, such as difficulty communicating easily with stakeholders during reviews or internally during sprint planning. The present paper proposes a product-oriented visualization method that highlights engineering changes and deviations, enhances communication, anchors review feedback directly to components, and supports deriving actionable planning steps. Its implementation in development settings has demonstrated the enhancement of transparency, shared understanding, and traceability.
