lucid vs slack

Lucidchart helps users sketch and share professional flowchart diagrams, providing designs for anything from brainstorming to project management. I don’t think enough people know how helpful this technology can be, but I do—I drew some of the original architecture and product sketches for Okta using Lucidchart

- Todd McKinnon CEO and Co-Founder

Pictures are better. It’s so much easier to ask people to look at a diagram than it is to read a 20-page document. You can get people on the same page, and you can narrow the focus of a discussion to a specific piece of the document.

- Remi Danvin Project Manager

lucidchart makes it easier to convey information quickly, preventing a need for back-and-forth to clarify specifics around what we try to convey with documentation. It really helps to reduce the amount of time that has to go towards communicating ideas and plans around complex systems.

- James Beveridge Product Director

We were able to create a large virtual network of employees that can communicate as though they are together. There was a lot of disruption in terms of where we worked, but in terms of how we worked—very little disruption.”

- Mark Smith Senior Technical Product Manager, T-Mobile

We do four times as much work as we did a couple of years ago. And that would not be possible without Slack.

- Cole Haan Caroline Yi, Director

The thing that keeps us connected the most is Slack. It’s a very immediate and straightforward method of communication, and really the only channel that people prefer and enjoy using.
