Are Your Projects Keeping Secrets?

• More information than ever stored in projects
• Not just single projects, entire portfolios!
• As computing power increases, the decision-making
  bottleneck moves away from the computer and
  closer to you, into that little space between you
  and the screen
• Key is to bridge that gap!
• Pictures are an ideal way for us to understand
  and communicate information. Unlike words and
  numbers, we are programmed to quickly understand
  images.
