Templates are grouped as:

  • Strategy & Teams

Examples include Fishbone, 5 Whys, Value Stream Map, Kanban, Daily Huddle and impact/effort matrix.

  1. In Edit Layout, open the template library.

  2. Choose a template to add it to the canvas.

  3. Edit the text and colors.

Save your own template

  1. Select the shapes you want. Hold Shift and click each one.

  2. Click Group.

The template is saved to My Templates so everyone in your workspace can reuse it.
