Mapkeep reposted this
It’s been 9 years since I started to learn Wardley Mapping. If you’ve followed me since the beginning, then you know I love to share about changes in the practice. (And plenty has changed!) But every once in a while I like to share what’s happening with the tools, too. My first ever post about Wardley Mapping tools was in 2017, and at the beginning I mused about a paradox: On the one hand, the tools matter! They can make things easier, shorten the learning curve, and make you more effective. On the other hand, the tools don’t matter at all! After all, you just need pencil and paper, right? As you read this post, I hope you can keep in mind the spirit of that paradox as I propose these top 5 Wardley Mapping tools for 2024. https://lnkd.in/e23-7g-g
Nice read, have tried all of them. Mapkeep by Tristan Slominski also gets my top vote. He really gets user research and adds super useful features at a high pace. Even though I have a soft spot for onlinewardleymaps, which is where I started. Both are great but mapkeep is really evolving very fast.
Wow... Thank you for the recommendation. I really appreciate it. I hope Mapkeep and I can continue to serve your and the community's Wardley Mapping needs well.
An additional interesting one is GToolkit, the environment for moldable (software) development, where Wardley Mapping is used as one of the tools in creating an integrated environment for all the different views that are needed to make and keep a system explainable
The collapse pipeline and layer capabilities in mapkeep will quietly change mapping imho

9moLove this, Ben. The tools conversation is always helpful, especially when it's from someone who does so much mapping. You help the rest of us mortals figure out where to focus our efforts. Love it!
