I create visuals for executive management, and I use it for business process flows. I have also started integrating it with Google Sheets so that I can pull different records from Google Sheet into a whiteboarding session. I am taking table data and making it prettier by having it integrated into a Lucidchart that reads those records. I've also used it for planners. It is a cloud solution, so we are using its latest version.
I was previously using whatever was on the web, but we have a plugin for our Atlassian tools, like Confluence, where we can integrate Lucidchart diagrams into our Atlassian tools as well. Previously, I was using my own personal cloud subscription, but then I stopped doing that. Once we had integrated it into our Atlassian suite, there was a plugin for Lucidchart and we had licensed the plugin. And so we would use the plugin that when we would add that type of graph, it would take us to the external website for configuring our diagrams, and then we could exit back and it would render the diagram in our Atlassian solution. Lucidchart subset their older components or something like that had happened. I don't entirely know the totality of it, but we were forced to upgrade to a different integration with Lucid than what we had. I've had a lot of frustrations with that because I've lost a lot of diagrams. I can't get them back and I'm getting pop-ups that are showing me that our data will be loading and I can't run four or five years of my engineering diagrams. I'm extremely angry about that. I can say that all the time I've had this thing is making me leery to using the plugin, let alone rather just use the tool independently and copy-paste pictures because when the plugin fails to work and you don't have an image to fall back on, you could lose years of work. I have that as a real big sore point and I can't figure out what, why, or how, and there's not really a good clear point of context to figure out how I address recovering all the lost work I have or how to migrate it. I had massive engineering, ERD diagrams, database diagrams, architectural diagrams, you name it for years. And a lot of the documentation I had in Confluence, including system architecture documents for our products. I can't get those assets back. My primary use case was for data entity-relationship diagrams for UML. It shows the engineering, architecture documents, using UML and the general flowcharts, and swim lanes for process swim lanes. I do tons of processes and swim lanes. I'd say those are really the four things I usually do with it.

I used Lucidchart because I had to create an accountability chart. We use an operating system called EOS, which is Entrepreneurial Operating System and I was tasked with assigning a seat for every role that's necessary to run an organization properly. Starting at the very top with what's called our visionary, which is really the CEO, and then my seat, which is the COO and I'm the integrator. From there, I had to divide it into departments and department heads and then the different roles each person plays within each department.

Our use cases have been mostly for software development. We use it to integrate software and for processes, like representing different business processes.
I have used Lucidchart for many things, but the biggest piece that ended up generating the most work was process mapping. I have done Kanban charts. I've used it for organizational charts. I've even used it for describing business entities things like relationship management, which isn't necessarily a process. It shows the relationship to other stuff in the business.

We use Lucidchart for our sales team. It displays what our sales flow should look like from start to finish once we contact the customer, all the way through closing out a sale. It displays the whole process.

My company is a solution provider and I primarily use Lucidchart to create workflows for my clients, to show them how a product is going to work. It helps us to create a pre-sales demo of what our solution for them is supposed to look like. I use Lucidchart to document things such as business requirements, as well as entity-relationship diagrams to see exactly what the schema of their solution is supposed to look like. Essentially, everything I do with Lucidchart is part of the requirements for making a presentation to the client.
I've been using Lucidchart to create process flow charts. I've been using the shapes, swimlanes, and arrows. I haven't really been doing anything too formal, but it definitely has a lot of value for our team. I only use the diagrams. I don't really use all of the features.

A lot of people in my company are using it for mapping processes. We use it for mapping sales processes and product management processes. We look at a product and map it, including how we interface it through the product life cycle. Personally, I use it a couple of hours a day for project process mapping work.
It is mainly for sales and business development. We use it for account mapping. If we have a target account, we want to know who the key players are. They include the decision-makers, individual contributors, etc. We map this information out on Lucidchart. We are probably using the latest version. They're pretty good about that. In terms of deployment, it might be SaaS.

We are mainly using it for flow charts, organization charts, and process flows. In terms of deployment, we have a subscription for it. It has a login and a password, and we have to log in.
I use Lucidchart for creating journey maps and educating customer success managers on best practices when it comes to managing customers, relationships, and difficult conversations. People are visual, so I typically try to visualize what I'm trying to say and Lucidchart makes it easy. As a Mac user, and with most people in the area using a Mac, it is important to me that Lucidchart accommodates both platforms.

We use it for primarily for two things: * Website architecture design. * Process flow diagrams. Most of our company's designers and I are on Macs along with a few other Mac users, then everybody else is on Windows machines. I also have a Windows machine, so it has to work on both.
I used Lucidchart to build-out items such as business org charts, business processes/workflows, and product diagrams. Lucidchart is much better than competitors that I have used, such as Visio. I am able to easily save off charts I have created in a PDF document, which is primarily what I do. The flexibility of Lucidchart is great. It is easy to create swim lane process documents with as many rows as you would like. It is also very easy to include columns into the swim lane that allows you to show where one process ends and another picks up. This feature has allowed me to generate very detailed process documents that my employers have loved.
Our primary use case of this solution is to create some process flows, namely how the user will use the product, how they will walk through the product, etc. We don't use the program very often - only once every week or so.
Our online diagram application makes it easy to sketch and share professional flowchart diagrams. From brainstorming to project management, we support all of your communication needs. That’s why millions of users choose Lucidchart.
