If you could magically snap your fingers and instantly improve your team’s productivity, would you do it? Over the next quarter, our blog is going to explore how diagramming helps teams work better together, but with a twist. – our blogs will celebrate the world of magic, high fantasy and role playing games, all while we share our usual advice about diagramming. The campaign will culminate at Atlassian Team ’23, where attendees will be able to directly join Team draw.io in finishing our adventure together in a role playing game.

Drawing and diagramming, a different kind of DnD

Each week we’re going to produce a new diagramming blog themed around fantasy and adventure. Some of our content will simply be a fresh take on our usual topics with a little sword and sorcery flavor, while others will be more specific to role playing, like a blog featuring diagramming tips and tricks for Dungeon Masters.

But, we’re even more excited to share an adventure we’ve written that will play out in serialized form every two weeks. In each of these story-driven blogs we’ll post another chapter of a sprawling adventure that takes place in a faraway kingdom, and of course each one will include some fun diagramming inspiration as well. You’ll follow a group of unlikely heroes as they work together to solve a mystery, with the climax taking place at Team ’23 itself! That’s right, we’re inviting our readers to visit our booth and play DnD with us at Team ’23 to finish off this campaign.

Yes, we are nerds

Team draw.io is made up of a diverse group of people, but for many of us, gaming, fantasy, role-playing, and adventure help us connect together. We haven’t just played Dungeons and Dragons, we’re Dungeon Masters. We don’t just watch the Lord of the Rings, we watch the extended editions. We haven’t just maxed out World of Warcraft, we still read the quest text. We love this stuff, and we’re excited to share diagramming with you in this new context.

And, we know from years of talking to draw.io users that you love geeky stuff too. Heck, even Atlassian loves nerd culture, why else did they name their most popular product after a Japanese movie monster?

Start your quest today

We hope you’ll join us as we have a little more fun with diagramming, and hopefully inspire you to try some different techniques in your own visualizations. If you’re ready to join our Hellfire-esque club of diagramming demons, you can start trying draw.io today for both Confluence and Jira, just visit the Atlassian Marketplace to start your free 30-day evaluation.
