Educational and technical architecture demonstration
Excellent virtual whiteboard for the remote-first team
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how Lucidspark provides excellent and intuitive design for collaboration, with comments, emojis, and GIF images to add spark along the way. It has a helpful two-way integration with JIRA to export cards as JIRA tickets or import existing tickets for discussion and collaboration. The Google Presentations plugin is also beneficial, taking the whiteboard view and sharing it out to the broader team or stakeholders. The grouping/ungrouping and locking help preserve and organize the chart components once they've solidified based on team feedback. The "create arrow" tool helps create a quick flow based on cards already built.
What do you dislike about the product?
One export capability is CSV, but I cannot use the exported CSV from a Lucidspark board to import into a new document. Therefore, I cannot preserve the chart data offline to bring it back at a later time. Furthermore, I cannot export from Miro (or another tool) to CSV and import the contents into Lucidspark, as we have teams that prefer differing whiteboard systems. Regarding the helpful JIRA integration, I accidentally created 16 cards in JIRA because the walk-through on export was unclear as I walked through the process. I had selected multiple chart components and was surprised to see every piece of the flow chart (including single word cards) export as JIRA stories. Unfortunately, since I cannot delete JIRA stories, that was a bit of an issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am looking to have a collaboration tool for our development team and product/design teams to interact and build out workflows to capture plans for new planned development. We have seen some of this so far and look forward to continued collaboration to provide business value.
