Sketchboard

Sketchboard is an online collaborative whiteboard for teams that need more structure than a blank canvas. People use it to sketch product ideas, diagram software systems and run remote planning sessions. It helps keep distributed teamwork visible in one place.

What Sketchboard offers

• Real-time collaboration — teammates work on the same web whiteboard at once and give immediate feedback.
• Movement tracking — see what other participants are doing on the board.
• Diagramming — structured drawing for planning and software design.
• Remote working — reduces email back and forth and long meetings.
• Plans — different plan options for teams, businesses and private use.
