- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
