Aha! Whiteboards | Advanced plan features
Aha! Whiteboards comes with two plan options. The Aha! Whiteboards Essentials plan includes everything you need to brainstorm and refine concepts. The Aha! Whiteboards Advanced plan is for teams that want to explore advanced whiteboarding capabilities. With the Advanced plan, you can create stunning wireframes, craft custom whiteboard templates, integrate with your development tool, and use voting and countdown timers to gain alignment from stakeholders.
Click any of the following links to skip ahead:
Wireframing
Mock up new user experiences. From early concepts to realistic designs, use 25+ configurable wireframe components to bring product concepts to life and engage key design and development stakeholders.
Read more about wireframes.
Architectural icons
Bring product, operations, and engineering teams closer with a shared understanding of your system architecture. Use more than 1700 icons for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud so you can document exactly how your systems work.
Read more about architectural icons.
Integrations
Bring work items and records from your development tool into your whiteboard. Through integrations with Jira and Azure DevOps, you can plan and discuss work, hold sprint planning sessions, and more.
Add the Scaled Agile Framework® PI planning template to your whiteboard. Then, add Jira records and/or ADO work items to your whiteboard and facilitate your session.
Audience voting
Align on priorities. Arrange your ideas on a whiteboard, then invite stakeholders to a voting session. Gather your team's feedback, tabulate votes, and move forward with consensus. Choose from standard voting or SAFe® fist to five voting.
Read more about audience voting.
Countdown timer
Timebox team collaboration. Use a countdown timer to keep everyone focused during brainstorming and collaborative planning sessions.
Read more about the countdown timer.
Custom whiteboard templates
Drive consistency. Design your own custom template and add it to the template library in your Aha! account, so contributors to your workspace have access to a pre-built visualization that covers your business needs. Add them to a workspace line and every child workspace will inherit them.
Read more about creating a custom whiteboard template.
Template design support
Bring in the experts. The Aha! design team created the current Aha! template library. If you have a large team, our designers will help you create a custom whiteboard template at no cost.
