Affinity Diagrams

A method for organizing many ideas into meaningful categories so they can be reviewed and analyzed more effectively.

Key Points

  • Clusters a large volume of ideas into natural themes or categories.
  • Commonly used after brainstorming or data collection to find patterns.
  • Encourages team collaboration using notes or cards moved into groups.
  • Helps reveal insights that guide analysis, prioritization, and decisions.

Example

After a requirements workshop generates over 100 ideas, the team writes each idea on a sticky note and groups them into themes such as security, usability, performance, and reporting. These clusters highlight the areas needing the most attention in the next phase.
