Example: Process Map

LucidChart is an online tool for creating diagrams, charts and process maps that can quickly be shared, edited and published to the web.

Getting started is easy: pick your document type and simply drag ‘n’ drop elements to the canvas to begin building your chart. Click-drag-release from the edge of one object to another to create connectors. Elements can then be moved around while connectors stay attached.

Example: Mind Map

As well as providing templates and shape libraries for creating business process maps, organisation charts, network diagrams etc., LucidChart can also be used as a flexible mind mapping tool.

There are a number of helpful tutorial videos to guide you through from getting started to mastering the more advanced features that are available.

Built using the latest and greatest of web technologies, LucidChart is truly cross platform and documents are viewable and editable across a wide range of devices including desktops, tablets and mobile devices. Add colleagues to a document and work collaboratively wherever you may be and on whichever device you may have to hand. You also have the benefit of full revision history.
