    How Can Teams Collaborate Around Creately’s Spider Diagram Maker?

    Teams can collaborate around a spider diagram to develop a shared understanding, find patterns and insights and make informed decisions, especially in terms of complex data. Spider diagrams also encourage teamwork, collaboration and support to build a data-driven decision making culture in an organization.

    1. Use Creately’s brainstorming capabilities such as whiteboard and free-hand drawing tools to gather the team to brainstorm and figure out the required variables for the spider diagram.

Each team member should conduct a thorough research, collect and analyze data from various sources before including the information.

    3. Use Creately as a data and information repository. Use the notes and data panel to house important information, references, images and documents.

    4. Present the data in a clear and visually appealing manner. Use Creately’s frames, shapes, color themes and advanced formatting options to create presentation and report-like layouts.

    How to Make a Spider Diagram with Your Team?

    1. First, identify the main topic or goal

    Start by identifying the main topic or goal that the spider diagram will focus on. Gather all your team members together and clearly communicate the focus area and lay the ground rules.

    At the sametime, identify the right platform to conduct a collaborative brainstorming session. Creately’s infinite canvas and real-time collaboration features are great for teams to exchange ideas and spark innovation.

    1. Have a brainstorming session

    Brainstorm with your team to kickstart ideation and note down all ideas and related sub-topics. Encourage every team member to participate actively and to give their input and ideas. Use Creately’s integrated conferencing, built-in whiteboard and freehand drawing capabilities to have lively discussions and meetings.

    1. Organize the subtopics

    Organize all subtopics and ideas in a logical manner, grouping similar ideas together. You can use the tables function to group ideas together for easy analysis.

    1. Create the diagram

    Assign a team member to take the lead in creating the diagram. This team member will be responsible for organizing and structuring the information.

    With the information gathered, start creating the spider diagram by listing the main topic in the center of the workspace in a circle. Then include the subtopics around the main idea. Use lines or arrows to connect them to the main topic. Now create more detailed sub-ideas around the subtopics; keep going until your team has explored a topic in detail. Use color codes to visually group ideas and sub-ideas to create an easy reference with logical links.

    1. Analyze the finalized diagram and data

    Analyze the data together with the team to identify patterns and insights. Discuss the implications of the presented data and use it to make informed-decision or develop necessary strategies.

    1. Review and feedback

    Once the diagram is completed, share via email or invite links with team members or relevant stakeholders for feedback and insights. Use in-line commenting or @mentions to get feedback and input.

    Have a final review and editing session to ensure the spider diagram is clear, accurate and easy to understand. Make sure that the team continues to collaborate around the spider diagram overtime. Refine the variables and data points and make changes based on new insights or data as required.
