Make informed decisions that produce actionable insights with Lucid's Visual Activities! Here are 6 ways to use Visual Activities to fuel stronger alignment and more efficient collaboration.



Lead planning sessions 


Bring focus and efficiency to the meeting planning process. Effectively set ideas in motion with everyone on board. Strong visuals to accompany activity results will give your team a clear path forward coming out of your planning meeting. 


Incorporate Visual Activities in your next planning session to track milestones assess risk and prioritize business initiatives.





Prioritize next steps


Prioritize ideas and determine actionable next steps. Collaboratively prioritize tasks or order a product backlog to easily get started on any project. Visual Activities naturally keeps a record of what decisions were made so any team member can come back to the board later and gain a clear picture of what was decided on.


Unsure of what tasks to start on first? Use this Urgency/importance matrix to get started.





Get quick feedback


Too often projects get delayed due to waiting for feedback. Capture feedback in minutes with a Visual Activity!


Whether you’re working on UX mockups architecture designs taglines or other solutions move forward efficiently using feedback templates.





Increase engagement in meetings and workshops


Make your meetings and workshops more engaging. Regularly poll participants or rank discussion topics to ensure the group stays engaged and on track. Prioritize and reflect on projects in your Scrum meetings and keep a record of what was discussed. 





Capture customer and market research


Capture valuable customer stakeholder and peer feedback to guide informed decisions. Honest feedback is encouraged by having participants complete the activity before seeing the responses of the group yielding the most accurate information.


Research your competitive landscape and gather customer insights. Survey product features gauge demand solicit feedback and discover areas of growth. From there synthesize your research findings identify gaps to align on and create a shared product vision with your team.





Gauge team bandwidth and morale


Struggling to read the room or gauge team buy-in? Easily get a pulse on how each team member is feeling about projects tasks and overall morale. 


Reveal questions concerns and preferences related to each team member’s work and facilitate a path to move forward. Check in with individuals during 1:1s or as a group to compare workloads and finish out the week month or quarter strong.
