Reflect on the last time you had to sit down and think through something — whether it was a complex problem, an important project, or a new product feature. Your brain was likely a jumble of questions, ideas, tasks, and tangents. And while that buzzy creative energy is a good thing, it can be tough to make sense of all of the random pieces of information spinning in your head. That’s exactly where the mind mapping method comes in handy.

If your work requires you to create diagrams, you might be familiar with draw.io (also diagrams.net), an open-source, web-based diagramming tool offering complex and niche diagrams: network diagrams, server rack diagrams, floor plans, and more.

Technical diagramming tools help engineers and other IT workers visually represent systems, infrastructures, and complex interactions. These diagrams can help to optimize cloud performance and, in turn, ship products and services more efficiently. But not all diagramming tools were created equal.
