  Facilitate powerful brainstorming and collaboration

  Affinity diagrams are the ideal brainstorming tool for projects involving large teams, large data sets, or a wide range of ideas. Teams can use affinity diagrams as a means of consolidating ideas and information into manageable groups for further prioritization, analysis, and understanding. With Lucidchart, the leading visual workspace, your entire team can instantly share ideas and collaborate on your affinity map in real time.

  Take charge of process improvement and quality control

  Project managers and product developers can employ affinity analysis to improve processes and enhance quality control, and UX teams can more easily identify the factors that contribute to effective design for customers. Gain instant understanding of relationships between information, opinions, problems, and solutions, so you can prioritize actions and simplify group decision-making. With Lucidchart’s intuitive canvas at your disposal, you and your team can easily organize ideas regarding processes that need attention, so you can quickly set in motion any improvements.

  Easily customize and share your affinity diagram

  Due to its simple construction, the affinity diagram has virtually no learning curve, making rapid brainstorming sessions easy and effective. Lucidchart simplifies affinity mapping even further with features like hotkeys, drag-and-drop shapes, and even a sticky note import that turns long lists of concepts into individual sticky notes for faster grouping. For a seamless brainstorming experience, use our integrations to share your affinity map across platforms like G Suite, Microsoft Office, Confluence, and Slack.

  Turn data into visuals

  Affinity grouping is especially useful in helping teams grasp large or complex ideas that might otherwise be hard to organize or understand. With Lucidchart, you can easily turn collected data into a shared affinity diagram to help you visualize related categories and analyze information. Add and organize concepts or ideas manually into shapes or use our data linking feature to import a CSV or text file to incorporate already compiled data instantly into your brainstorm.
