We’re delighted to announce new ways to boost agility in your work with our roundup of Lucid’s latest features!
This month’s Lately @ Lucid launch is designed to accelerate agility in your work. Whether you’re following a specific Agile framework or you’re simply looking for more efficient ways to get work done, our newest lineup of feature launches is here to support collaboration, alignment, and clarity in your workflow.
You can get the full scoop on the Lately @ Lucid launch on our blog, but here are some new feature highlights to keep an eye out for:
Optimize team-level events
- New team templates: Use customizable Lucid templates to guide you step by step through major Agile events and make them more engaging with embedded quick tools for facilitation and collaboration. Some of our favorites include the daily standup template, sprint planning template, sprint retrospective template, and sprint review template.
- Lucid Cards for Jira / Azure DevOps: Add Jira and ADO cards to Dynamic Tables and timelines to create a single source of truth.
- Private mode: Create psychological safety and reduce bias by allowing team members to share ideas, questions, and concerns anonymously in private mode.
- Agile estimation: Estimate efforts for tasks, or use a planning poker-style activity for team estimation.
Streamline program-level planning
- New planning templates: Whether you call it big room planning, PI planning, or something else, these templates will help you guide large groups through a seamless planning session. We recommend the big room planning template, PI planning template, program coordination dashboard, and the ultimate sprint workflow template.
- Breakout boards: Drag breakout boards onto your Lucid canvas to more easily separate teams and information within a working session, then circle back to the larger group.
- Jira / Azure DevOps integrations with dependency mapping: Enable teams to create efficient workflows by visualizing project interdependencies and identifying or mitigating risks.
- Reporting shapes: Show your team's progress and workload by adding progress bars and workload trackers to timelines and Dynamic Tables.
- Profile shapes: Visually represent Lucid users as shapes on your Lucid canvas, and use them to assign Lucid and Jira Cards, start a comment thread, and share documents.
