“I've used a lot of online diagramming tools and I think what you've got is really great. I think Sketchboard is a great piece of software.”

“Ease-of-use is really important: with Sketchboard I can focus on the code and how it interacts rather than fighting with the tool.”

“The two top things I just LOVE about Sketchboard are:”

  • lack of usual constraints. I can still create dependency and decision chains, but I don't have to, which is just awesome
  • how easy it is to modify existing board's content, with all connections' visualization being recalculated when moving objects around

Top online whiteboard uses

Software development involves understanding very complex and abstract problems. Those need visualization using e.g. simple boxes, circles, and connections, using Sketchboard's UML diagram tool. Model your software based on design patterns or flowcharts using flowchart maker to draft your thoughts. Everyone understands the idea and works toward a common goal using the software design map created together, sketch UML diagramming for software developers.
Everything your team members do on Sketchboard is visible in real time. Track your team members' movements through the online whiteboard as you compose your sketches or diagrams. The comment box doubles as a mini chat, where you can discuss and agree on various points. Get your distributed teamwork aligned with your visualized plan.
All your sketches and diagrams are reusable. You can reorganize them and use them for your team presentations. No need to spend time creating slide decks from scratch. And don't worry about sharing, your team members will automatically receive the updates.

Powering up your brainstorming

Use digital notes to write down your scrum retrospectives and assign a different area of the board to each group. Having all your ideas digitized will make it easier to take action and achieve great results.

Sketching UX Flows

Screenshot an existing user interface and use freehand drawing to mark all the necessary changes. You can also combine freehand drawing with the existing sketch UX shapes to plan your UX flows from scratch. Build online flowcharts to visualize workflows, customer journeys, and many other design processes.

Mapping your Mind

Mindmaps transformed into software pieces are a common starting point for software design. Sketchboard helps your team create collaborative mindmaps.

Spotting bugs faster

As a tester, screenshot problem areas and mark down those using a freehand drawing on top of the image. The visual element makes it easier for your team to get a clear view. This way your team can avoid the question back and forth, and bugs can get fixed faster.

Sketch Roadmaps

Sketch your product milestones and collaborate with your team to have everybody committed to those when agreed together. Speed up your process modeling with Sketchboard's process mapping tool.

Daily & Weekly Notes

Run daily check-ins: capture what you did, what you're planning today, and blockers. Build a weekly board with a section for each day, then drop in post-its or markdown notes with task lists that can be marked as completed. Add links to designs, decisions, and meeting notes so the week stays connected, and move sticky notes across the board as work progresses. Add code blocks with syntax highlighting to capture code snippets, decisions, and implementation notes in context.
