How to Make a Spider Diagram with Your Team?
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
