How product teams can leverage the Lucid Cards for airfocus integrationBlog

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.

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 ideat

Whiteboarding reimagined

With January being a time of looking ahead and dreaming about what could be, I’ve got some exciting news to share with you all that will transform your whiteboarding experience. 🎉 Recently, we teamed up with leading interactive whiteboards to bring teams together, regardless of working location. Whether you’re using a hardware device in the office, or whiteboarding in Lucidspark remotely, this partnership creates a truly collaborative experience for everyone. Give all team members a voice, facilitate better meetings, and boost efficiency. 🚀 All you have to do is open a new or existing Lucidspark board (either on a hardware device or virtually) and share it with participants. Even non-Lucid users can collaborate with you using Guest Collaborator mode. 🤝 I’d recommend checking out our blog post to dive in deeper and see how this partnership can accelerate your teamwork. And, if you have any questions, check out our help center article to walk you through the basics. 💡
