I thought of sharing my experience with easily available tool, Microsoft Whiteboard (MS Whiteboard). Often during my Design Thinking coaching and mentoring sessions, one question being asked repeatedly about the tools to use for Design Thinking Workshops. I've seen Lucidchart being used by #Product Teams, #Network #Engineers, #IT Departments, #DevOps, or non-Engineering related teams. Microsoft Whiteboard as a Design Thinking Tool.
Ultimately, my recommendation was & we closed on Lucidchart, as it won on couple of key aspects : #Team #Collaboration, #Integrations with #AWS for instance, and certain specific visualizations we were looking for / others didn't have. We also looked at potential alternatives such as Microsoft Visio for instance. The top reviewer of Lucidchart writes 'Organizational charts help to visualize and understand team hierarchies and relationships'. Lucidchart is rated 8.6, while Lucidspark is rated 8.6. In the past, I had worked with #VisualParadigm for #UML, in both desktop and #SaaS version of the product. Lucidchart is ranked 1st in Visual Collaboration Platforms with 50 reviews while Lucidspark is ranked 2nd in Visual Collaboration Platforms with 33 reviews.
You want to make sure everybody's got the same understanding of your approach, so you can better communicate, and start delegating more. Lucidchart: an intelligent diagramming application for understanding the people, processes, and systems that drive your business Lucidspark : a virtual whiteboard application for freeform ideation, group brainstorming, and real-time collaboration across remote teams. Especially when working with complex/distributed systems.
When starting my new role at #Stessa, I needed a solution to start diagramming some of my #Architecture so I'd be able to share my views on #SystemArchitecture with the rest of the team.
