Lucid tips and updates

Even though the days have started getting shorter, the list of Lucidspark templates is always getting longer. Why waste time creating a whole new whiteboard setup when we’ve got customizable templates that are ready to use? So, with the temperatures about to be the highest they’ve been all year, check out our hot new templates we created during the start of summer.

P.S. Join the 2024 Olympics fun by checking out our templates perfect for Agile sprints!

Backlog planning

Backlogs can easily lack organization, color, and your teammates willingness to participate. Our backlog planning template aims to resolve all three. The agenda and icebreaker can keep your meeting engaged and on track, whereas the brainstorming and initiatives sections provide clarity and encourage creativity. When the meeting is over, the template remains an easy-to-read reference for later.

Sprint backlog template

Everyone understands the importance of brainstorming. But after the storm is over, there’s a lot to clean up. This sprint backlog refinement template makes filtering through your brainstormed backlogs that much easier. You can use Visual Activities to decide which tasks to accept, break down, or reject and to rank the priority of the tasks accepted. The template guides you through these steps and provides an engaging space for collaboration.

Sprint estimation

Estimating tasks in the hybrid space can be tricky. Our sprint estimation template can help organize your tasks and show the general consensus (or lack thereof) of how many story points should be allotted to a task. With a story point line, having zero story points at one end and 21 at the other, participants can drag their icon to show their estimation for the task. Afterward, the team can reach an agreement and get ready for planning.

Sprint planning

Before you run full steam ahead into your sprints, you’ll have sprint planning. Check out our sprint planning template to prioritize tasks and encourage questions. This template also makes planning more efficient, as you can easily change the format of tasks into a timeline, giving a clear visual of the sprint to come.

Daily standup

Our daily standup template makes it easy for your meeting to be productive and efficient. With a timer set for 15 minutes and tables to organize progress, it is easy to share progress updates while staying on track.

Sprint review

There’s a lot to cover in a sprint review—let our sprint review template help. Besides going over the main deliverables, you can create an agenda and set meeting norms. You can even use breakout boards to keep a record of past meetings, allowing you to see trends across sprints.

Sprint retrospective

Check out our sprint retrospective template to boost collaboration during your meeting. The template has drag-and-drop sticky notes and icebreakers that encourage engagement. Easy communication makes all the difference in meetings about improving team practices.

Quarterly project sprint plan

The greater the scale, the more difficult it can be to plan projects. Our quarterly project sprint plan template can make it less of a headache. Visualize your sprints across multiple projects in the same space, letting you see the whole picture for the next quarter. It’s important for teams to be able to come back to the sprint plan to prepare for their next steps and keep the project goals in mind.

Executive summary

Transparency with stakeholders is vital for any project. Our executive summary template clearly explains your project and its goals to stakeholders, giving them an opportunity to raise concerns and ask questions.
