If you want to represent data visually… Use a histogram, line graph, or pareto diagram. If you want to group your ideas… Use a lotus flower diagram, fishbone diagram or affinity diagram. If you want to figure out how ideas are connected… Use a fishbone or relations diagram. If you want to see the steps in something you’re doing… Use a flowchart.
