This paper describes a real-world problem that the documentation team for a major feature of an upcoming product release is currently experiencing. Although there is little doubt that the problem described is prevalent among organizations developing computer software, it is perhaps less clear how this problem arises and how information visualization might offer an effective solution. Therefore, this paper discusses the problem in the context of creative thinking and decision making processes, describes the various types of visualizations that are available to assist project team members performing these complex cognitive tasks, and explains how one aspect of the problem might be improved by using a visualization appropriate to the task.
