Lucidspark vs. CELUM Creative Collaboration

Lucidspark is well suited for teams who want to be aligned in understanding. Lucidspark even works well as an ideation or brainstorming tool an individual can use in isolation. Lucidspark would not work so well if it is needs to be an authoritative source of information but luckily there is a way to convert Lucidspark to Lucidchart

If you are debating how on getting an easy to use or more advanced solution. I would recommend going for WorkRooms. It has the perfect balance that you are looking for. It is very easy for small companies that want to grow and make it easy for employees and costumers.

• Intuitive and simple design is one of its strong points, so zero learning curve!
• Clearing away the whole board or parts of the board is a breeze to avoid confusion.
• The different pens with colors and nib thickness allow easy explanations.

• Task management
• File management using tags and simple search
• Adding external users for a restricted set of information

• After editing one item on a board, all other items can be dimmed, took me a few seconds to work out that I had to hit the ESC key to resolve
• Can't put my finger on exactly why but the minimap is a bit frustrating to use
• I'd really like to see options that only admins have visible but not clickable, then I'd know without asking that a given thing could be accomplished

This is the where Lucidspark has some opportunity to have improvement, the learning curve can be not as intuitive as Lucidchart. The main area of improvement would be to have a similar interface as Lucidchart. For example, to scroll between the x and y axis can be difficult until the user discovers the tab on the left hand side that has the arrow and the hand. Until the user discovers that tab on the left hand side, the chart is difficult to navigate around.

From the sales team to the online training resources, there is so many ways that you can get information and questions answered the people over at Lucid really go out their way to ensure you and your teams success not to mention all of the help and support in app. Its the attention to detail and understanding of their user base that puts them over the other companies.

It is a very accessible and wide range of tools to help kick-off any projects and brainstorming sessions. It is user-friendly in terms of content sorting and collaborative ideations. It is also loaded with good quality export options and colours for a very practical client presentation and team understanding of the content across boards.

• I've made a Planning Poker template in Lucid that we use for Sprint Planning, and it's made it easier to switch to Story Points and forego task breakdown and time estimation altogether. It does save time during Sprint Planning but that's less significant than the fact that developers no longer feel the need or pressure to conform to whatever random time estimate was provided. That's thanks to Story Points, not Lucid itself, but Lucid surely made Planning Poker a lot easier than it used to be. As an added bonus, it stores voting history, so we can go back during the Retrospective and review particular items of interest that we completely botched the sizing of.
