Affinity diagram

An affinity diagram is a way to organize ideas. It helps people to look at a lot of different ideas and group them into related categories. Think of it like a giant mind map! You can use an affinity diagram to organize anything, like problems you need to solve, or ideas for a project.

To make an affinity diagram, start by writing down all your ideas. Then group them into similar categories. It's like putting things in drawers: some drawers are labeled "Problems," some are "Solutions," and some are "Things To Try." Once you have your categories, you can easily see which of your ideas go together. This helps you come up with better ideas, and make more sense of your ideas.
