We are delighted to announce some exciting updates for this Lately @ Lucid launch! Visual collaboration is at the core of everything we do here at Lucid. Since 2010, our products have helped teams collaborate on projects from ideation to planning to execution. We want to extend this value by providing even deeper solutions to customers just like you! For that reason, we’re turning things up a notch and expanding our vision! Lucid is a work acceleration platform powered by visual collaboration that helps teams get aligned and transform their businesses. In light of this vision, we’re excited to announce three accelerators for Enterprise accounts designed to optimize your work. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the features offered with each accelerator! Get more details on the Lucid blog . Agile Accelerator Available to Enterprise customers for purchase at the beginning of May 2025, the Agile Accelerator helps organizations better scale their Agile practices to improve team performance, as well as increase visibility for teams and leaders. Blueprints: Blueprints are collections of templates that streamline a workflow. They’re designed to give your teams a standardized starting point to work, while still maintaining team autonomy. Automatically create team hubs: Designed to be a great home base for team documentation and blueprints, team hubs can be created at scale through a CSV import. Visual Activities and frames with insights: Adding these elements to blueprints helps teams share critical qualitative data with leaders without the need to create one-off requests. Insights are clearly marked so teams know what information is visible to leaders. Insights dashboard: Agile managers have access to comprehensive results in an insights dashboard to increase visibility into team confidence, performance, and concerns. They can filter by date, team, and team category to quickly access the most critical information. Data-driven scenario planning : Pause data syncs between Lucid and Jira or ADO to test scenarios without changing the data in your system of record. Add team data to a Dynamic Table to see how changes in scope, staffing, and assignments affect project timelines. Cloud Accelerator Available to Enterprise customers for purchase at the beginning of May 2025, the Cloud Accelerator helps organizations understand and plan future changes to their cloud infrastructure. Bulk import: Import entire cloud footprints from AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud and share them with the rest of your team. Import an entire AWS organization, or make your own selection of accounts for import. Blueprints: Coming later this year! Just like the Agile Accelerator, blueprints in the Cloud Accelerator are sets of templates with standardized sections designed to give teams a strong foundation for their work, such as cloud migration or cloud risk assessment. Asset builder: Coming later this year! The asset builder is a collection of items that show up frequently in your cloud environment. Create these reusable components and add them to any cloud diagram. Any updates made to a component in one location can be applied across all diagrams for increased consistency. Manual layout: Customize the layout of your cloud model to visualize in a way that fits your team’s needs. Add unmapped resources for a more complete picture of your infrastructure. Easily modify diagrams: Access cloud data directly within Lucidchart. If your cloud environment changes, refreshing the data ensures that your model stays up to date. Brainstorm easily by adding annotations and moving shapes to make more sense of what’s happening in the system. Process Accelerator Coming in August 2025, the Process Accelerator provides organizations increased governance and standardization in how processes are stored, documented, and published. Repositories: Repositories are designed to be the single source of truth for your company’s process and technical documentation. This structured file system is easily accessible and searchable. Anyone can request changes to documentation, but the proposed changes will go through an approval flow before being incorporated. Approval flows: Owners of each repository can create approval flows to help drive compliance and consistency. The repository owners can then name users who approve changes to documentation. Asset builder: Just like the Cloud Accelerator, the Process Accelerator also includes an asset builder. Repository owners can easily create and manage reusable components, simplifying the development and standardization of new processes. Updates to assets in one location can be applied automatically across all documentation to facilitate making changes at scale. Acquisition of airfocus We’re also excited to announce that Lucid has acquired airfocus !

Announced in the Lately @ Lucid launch on April 3rd, Lucid has acquired airfocus ! airfocus is an AI-powered product management and roadmapping platform that keeps teams and stakeholders aligned—no matter how differently they operate. We believe that the flexibility of the Lucid canvas, coupled with the structure of airfocus, will support product teams throughout their entire workflow. Product managers and teams are challenged to be organized and transparent, while also being creative and collaborative. Updating executive leadership and maintaining alignment across stakeholders in engineering, UX, and marketing is a difficult task. This challenge is exemplified with complex roadmap visualization, scattered data, lack of visibility into stakeholder work and bandwidth, and misaligned priorities. This can lead to wasted resources, missed deadlines, and costly rework. That’s where Lucid + airfocus comes in - blending flexibility and structure to support product teams from strategy to ideation to reality. So how exactly does it work? You can learn more about the acquisition in our blog post , but let’s take a look at a real-world example of the Lucid Cards for airfocus integration. From Lucid to airfocus A group of product managers have recently collected user feedback and they’re ready to talk through new feature ideas. Within Lucid, the team groups user pain points, brainstorms ideas on sticky notes, maps out connections, sketches rough concepts, and utilizes Visual Activities to create team alignment. They invite cross-functional teams and stakeholders to brainstorm, gathering their insights and feedback before finalizing ideas. After choosing the most promising ideas, the PMs convert some sticky notes into airfocus cards within the Lucid canvas. Their newly created airfocus cards link to corresponding airfocus items, all housed in a structured backlog within airfocus. Now within airfocus, product managers can use the tools below to see where their new ideas fit in with the greater product vision. Prioritization tools: Prioritize items in the backlog with scoring frameworks, user insights, and Priority Poker - an interactive and collaborative way to align on priority ratings. Visualize quick wins and time wasters in a priority chart. Roadmap planning: Build and share clear roadmaps. See data across multiple views like priority charts, timelines, gantt charts, and kanban workflows. OKR management: Connect OKRs to roadmaps and workflows all within airfocus, driving team alignment across a unified strategy. Capacity planning: Set capacity limits and plan for multiple scenarios to ensure that your objectives align with available resources. Integrations: Ensure that your work stays in sync with Jira and Azure DevOps integrations. Embed Lucid documents in airfocus : Access Lucid documents in airfocus within your workspace or within an airfocus item. From airfocus to Lucid Let’s say a product manager on the team is interested in refining an existing feature. The PM starts in airfocus to evaluate the current priority rating and track customer feedback. To map out a new user journey based on possible feature changes, they switch into Lucid. Within Lucid, the product manager invites other product team members, and a UX team, to collaborate in a Lucidspark board. They’re able to map user journeys, run a design sprint, and sketch wireframes. The team imports corresponding airfocus items into the canvas for easy reference, and maps dependencies within Lucid to visualize the roadmap all within the same board. Within Lucid, the product team can use the tools below to collaborate before documenting any changes in airfocus. Visual Activities : Vote on ideas, categorize and prioritize tasks, and gather group feedback to achieve consensus. Dynamic Tables : Organize cards in a dynamic table and arrange by categories such as epic, status, or owner. Dependency mapping : Easily visualize project dependencies on the Lucid canvas to identify risk, and adjust tasks to ensure meeting deadlines. Agile estimation : From estimation shape banks, add estimate shapes (like story points) to cards directly. Lucid + airfocus Lucid provides an open canvas that adapts to any workflow—allowing product, engineering, and UX teams to collaborate in ways that work well for them. With airfocus, you can bring all team ideas, roadmaps, and prioritization frameworks into a structured, single source of truth. airfocus also offers a modular approach to product management, with highly customizable views for different audiences. Both platforms offer structured templates to guide teams, but they ultimately allow product teams to tailor their experience. Together Lucid and airfocus can support any working style!
