Likelihood to Recommend It is well suited when people use it to sketch the first wireframes of the UX, like the Breadboarding technique from Basecamp. I used to work like that when modifying some UX. Our designers used to sketch over our current experience wireframe, and then we could discuss it by using the comments in Figjam or the Call feature at FigJam. That made it easy to discuss it. When building up group boards to discuss ideas, I use
Miro , once it has more native pre-sets that help conducts the discussion.

If the population does not value this type of open interaction, it will be underutilized. Many of our baby-boomer generation staff have a hard time seeing the relevancy of a site such as this.

The subjects feature is a great place to develop communities of practice where links, files and communication can be shared. As long as the search engine is optimized / working effectively, it can be a powerful way to access sites and resources across the organization.

The site sometimes has glitches, such as subject pages not loading and complete content not appearing on the screen until you refresh or give it an abnormal amount of time to load. The "USAID Search" option should appear first for the search results. It is not intuitive that it is the last search option to select. Often users don't even clearly recognize that they need to select types of search results. Read full review Alternatives Considered Positive: FigJam is cheaper than
Miro and allows connecting with FigJam, where we design our user interfaces. FigJam is more complete and visually appealing than
draw.io , although
draw.io is free. FigJam allows calls, which both competitors do not. Negative:
Miro has more pre-set diagrams than FigJam and they are native and easy to use FigJam is paid, while
draw.io is not.
Read full review Return on Investment I believe that creating professional projects inside a web app feels amateurish. Read full review I feel that it has connected colleagues who would have never met in our global organization. I has created a division in the organization between the users and those who oppose its existence. It has been a great place for communication-oriented departments to get their messages out, advertise events, etc. Read full review ScreenShots
