Abstract

The difficult journey of introducing a new treemap visualization into enterprise software products is described, highlighting interactions among a research team, product teams, and management. Successful product integration ultimately required multiple iterations of prototyping, review, and redirection, as products were cancelled and modified. Several lessons learned are provided, including the need to build flexible and generic prototypes, cultivate champions, and be tenacious.
