For this project I chose to do a critical analysis of an already existing application, this was after in one of my classes we had used the application to be able to pass our messages in a much easier to understand manner. The application in question was the ArcGIS Story maps. Having seen firsthand how helpful the app was for me and the rest of the students, I became more curious to try and understand how the application is used in different sectors in the real world.

The ArcGIS Story map combines interactive maps which are hosted in Esri’s cloud service containing several multimedia contents including videos, audio, photos as well as text. All these contents can be used by the user to tell different stories of anything that is happening across the globe. In the critical analysis, something I noted was that Storymaps inspire lean thinking, sharp focus on value maximization, and enable informed product interactions with other stakeholders.
