We use Lucidspark mainly for architecture diagrams. Whenever we present it to publication teams, we develop an architecture diagram. It is very intuitive and easy to share with anyone.

Assistant Director Outpatient Rehab at UC San Diego Health

I've used it for team meetings where we all collaborated on different things on the same project, and then I've used it to create a lot of process maps and things to illustrate ideas and processes for the team.

I am using their web-based solution.

MS
Director of Management Systems at Brindlee Mountain Fire Apparatus

It started out to build flowcharts for organizational structures. It has evolved into more of a project management tool, outlining systems and opportunity flows from the inside of our business. We use these visuals that we create to speak with our software implementation partner so they can build the structure that we need for our systems.

I am the one on my team who uses it 90 percent of the time, as far as creating documents.

Customer Success Manager at a media company with 501-1,000 employees

This is a product that is really useful in my role as a customer success manager. Our company develops marketing automation tools that Fortune 500, enterprise companies use with their internal marketing channels.

We use both Lucidspark and Lucidchart. With Lucidspark, we use it for workshops that we plan with our clients. These are strategy workshops that help them map out what they will ultimately do in our product before they actually touch it. They have to map out what the different messages are that they're going to send, what channels they're going to send them to, and what the strategy is for who receives those messages. They decide how are they going to target, personalize, et cetera.

For this use case, Lucidspark becomes a virtual whiteboard for our clients during these workshops because we've not been able to go in person since the pandemic started. Normally, we would do these works at the client site but now, we can bring it to a virtual environment and make it a really interactive experience. The client actually walks away with something really visual and really clear that shows them what they are going to use to build their system.

I have experimented with using it for brainstorming and I have identified a use case that I want to use it for, but I haven't practiced that use case with it yet. That use case, which I am really excited about trying to use it for, is affinity diagramming, also known as the KJ mapping process.

TS
Product Manager at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

Primarily, I was using Lucidspark for the whiteboarding and collaboration. The whole thing was initiated because I was trying to work using the workflow on LucidChart, which triggered me to have a kind of a collaboration meeting. Nowadays, because of COVID-19, everything is virtual. So, I thought it would be a good idea to collaborate over this collaborative whiteboard using my flow in LucidChart over to Lucidspark.

Lucidspark was pretty useful because of the integration feature available, e.g., what you do in Lucidchart can be easily rolled over to Lucidspark. However, I feel there could be more integrations built into it, which would help to bring in more easier integrations from work that we have done on other tools, like Jira or Confluence.

MZ
Executive Assistant with self employed

I was developing mostly personal charts. I was using the brainstorming function and mapping my thoughts. I was using the sticky notes and organizing different ideas into categories. I was just manually using all the different tools and functions, drawing arrows. Later, I saw that they also have templates, which I thought was really cool. However, I was just manually using it for creating charts for personal organization and organizational development as well as doing organization for my nonprofit.

I was mostly working on organization, like categorizing, where I would list different projects, as my team had so many different projects that we were working on. I was just listing, then categorizing them, like color coding the different projects. That was the main thing that I was using Lucidspark for.

I was using a web version. I didn't download anything.

HD
Product Designer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

We use Lucidspark as a tool to collaborate on organizing our platform architecture. The company I work for has a lot of different platforms and backend systems and we've used Lucidspark a lot to document what those platforms are, share it amongst our teams, and make sure everything looks correct. If there's feedback or changes, it's really easy to use this app to have that shared with everybody.

An example of the use case would be a request to show the entire structure of our company, data structure, and platform structure. I would create a chart with all that information. Usually, it would be from a sketch or a whiteboard drawing, and then I would use Lucidspark to make it that much more clean, clear, and editable.

Director Product Management at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

I started exploring Lucidspark due to the fact that I needed some tools to help during meetings, especially during our brainstorming meetings with our own product teams. That's why I started exploring Lucidspark.

I have not yet used Lucidspark's Virtual Whiteboard for brainstorming high-level ideas and concepts yet. The way I've used Lucidspark is that  I start drawing on my canvas and I screen share what I'm doing. I have not used the Virtual Whiteboards.

I've been mainly using it to make flow charts and kind of brainstorm ideas for my business. I have not used it for anything else yet. I'm going to expand later into more collaborative forms of using Lucidspark.

I've installed it on my computer.

DD
Creative Director at Deutsch Creative

I build iPhone applications, websites, and documents.

I use Lucidspark for presentations with wireframing and brainstorming. When I am creating a new application for our smartphones, I like to create each one of my windows and then figure out the best way to organize them, i.e., the best sequencing. A lot of times, by putting them in a kind of giant mine node like this, I am able to figure out what I am missing and what goes from page one to page two. It is easy for me to figure out what I need. 

I use both Lucidchart and Lucidspark. I was hoping that having both of them would be a combination because there are parts of each that I like. For example, I like Lucidchart, but I like the way that Lucidspark has a larger piece of real estate, i.e., it goes on forever.

DG
Solution Architect at a tech services company with 1-10 employees

Currently, we are using Lucidspark to design and export database structures. We mostly use it just for that, however, we were using other software for doing mind maps, and we're starting to introduce the use of Lucidspark also for this purpose. We were also using another software for designing infrastructure, the architecture of software, and infrastructure in deployments. We have recently started moving into Lucidspark for that as well.

DK
Senior Business Analyst at a consultancy with 5,001-10,000 employees

What we've used it for so far is facilitating a couple of meetings.

We used it in a discovery gathering session with a client and they were all given the link to jump into the board. We gave them the ability to create and edit while we retained the overall power to move things and keep everyone focused. That was good and they enjoyed it. With COVID this year, they said it was a really great, innovative tool to use since everyone was sitting in their individual homes.

I use Lucidspark to brainstorm ideas. Suppose I want to create a new dashboard or new visualization in Power BI or Tableau. Before doing that, I want to brainstorm how I want my visualization to be. For that purpose, I am using Lucidspark.

RT
Student at a university with 5,001-10,000 employees

My primary use case for this solution was educational. I used Lucidspark to practice design thinking with several other students. It's a good place for collaborative work. 

Some of the students I collaborated with were interested in product management, a big part of which entails thinking from the customer's perspective and figuring out what the solutions to a problem should be.

As a group, we used Lucidspark to collaborate and share our thoughts on potential problems and solutions. Think of it like a human design-thinking workshop.

SR
Social Media Coordinator

I mostly use it to make mind maps and some process charts for the place I work. Sort of like work processes, the flow of things, so everyone knows what you need to do.

I'm pretty sure that in the coming weeks when I start to use it more on a regular basis, maybe every day or a couple of times a week, that's probably when I will figure it out more. But for the time being, it's been really good.

We have started to integrate some stuff on Slack, but individually on its own, and then we've also started Lucidspark. At some point down the road, there will be an integration between the two programs, but we haven't started that yet. We're trying to move everything to Slack.

Private Tutor at a tech services company with 1-10 employees

I'm a private tutor. I run my own tutoring business. I use Lucidspark for my teaching purposes.

I use the free version.

When I have an online class in our school, on Zoho Meeting or Zoom, I sometimes share writings and use the whiteboard. It's easy to use and it has a lot of tools in it. So I use it as a whiteboard for my students.

I use it for remote sessions.
