Lucid tips and updates

We’re in the dog days of summer—trying to stay cool, wrapping up seasonal fun before school starts again, and enjoying the Olympics. Why not add checking out the newest Lucidspark templates to the list?

We’re always developing new templates for our users, so check back every month for the latest and greatest. Let’s get into it!

Big room planning template

Big room planning is an inclusive form of Agile planning that is typically time-boxed over the course of a few days. It brings everyone together to craft high-level plans and can be extremely effective, but hybrid and remote teams often struggle to recreate the environment without being physically together. Our big room planning agile template is the perfect solution. Come together as a team—wherever you’re working from—to make plans and align on goals for an upcoming initiative.

Engineering project documentation

Our new engineering project documentation template helps your team centralize project documentation. It can be easily shared with stakeholders to collaboratively plan, test, and track your projects. The template, designed by Lucid’s own engineering team, allows you to illustrate your release team, project details, impact, go-to-market plan, and more. Keep all the most important details in one spot for easy organization and alignment.

Shape Up methodology

Collaborate with your team to “shape” a product by providing clear direction with our Shape Up methodology template. Inside, you’ll find a simple format to define the problem, set boundaries, rough out the elements, identify risks, and write a pitch—all using sticky notes. The template is perfect to collaborate on with your team as a strategic activity.

Weekly Kanban + retro

The new weekly Kanban + retro template helps you regularly check in with your team to stay on top of initiatives and improve processes along the way. Using its included Dynamic Table and Lucid Cards, you can visualize Jira issues from backlog to done. Then, use sticky notes and emojis to reflect on what went well and how to improve.

SAFe ROAM board

Identify and address potential risks in a collaborative space with the SAFe ROAM template. Brainstorm and categorize risks, then align with your team to create a flexible, effective risk management plan. The included Visual Activities allow you to gain insight from your team in seconds.

Sailboat retrospective

Our new sailboat retrospective template helps you visualize what pushed your team forward and what held it back in a sprint, all with a fun, nautical theme! This template walks your team through an interactive activity that provides everyone with a chance to voice their opinion and share thoughts important to consider in the future. Improve upcoming initiatives while enjoying a mini vacation theme!
