Generate new ideas and add structure to your thoughts with the Concept Map
Template. Explore connections between concepts and let your creativity flow.

ABOUT THE CONCEPT MAP TEMPLATE

Are you looking to understand a new topic? Or do you need to create a messaging
flow for your website? Perhaps you’re trying to understand the relationship
between two complex ideas? No matter the use case, you need a concept map
template to get you to your "aha" moment. It’s a great tool for mapping out the
relationships between concepts — and it couldn't be simpler to use.

Get started now with this free template and keep reading to learn more about
concept mapping.


WHAT IS A CONCEPT MAP?

A concept map is a visual diagram tool used to depict ideas and concepts. Using
cross-links, you draw connections between your ideas and organize them into a
hierarchical structure.

Concept maps are similar to mind maps, but they’re not the same. Mind mapping
focuses on specific topics. Concept mapping is about the relationship and
connections between new ideas.

Concept maps are used in both business and education. For businesses, they help
teams better understand the connection between ideas and concepts. Teams can
visualize how all the key elements relate to one another and figure out if a new
idea or concept is worth pursuing.

With education, faculty members use concept maps to help students develop
meaningful learning and retain new information. It’s particularly helpful for
students that prefer visual learning, but it can benefit all students.


HOW TO CREATE A CONCEPT MAP

A concept map can be stylized in various ways, but they generally consist of
concepts written in boxes or circles, with arrows (known as cross-links)
connecting related ideas. Miro's concept map maker is the perfect tool to start
creating a concept map of your own. Simply follow these steps:


STEP 1: SET UP THE TEMPLATE

Start by selecting this concept map template. It’s free to sign up, and you can
customize the template in various ways to meet the specific needs of your
concept mapping. Take a look at some of our customizable tools to see for
yourself.


STEP 2: CHOOSE A TOPIC

Identify a topic you’d like to understand better and add it into the center box.
This is the starting point of the concept map. It’s often referred to as the
focus question or key concept.


STEP 3: BRAINSTORM RELATED CONCEPTS

Brainstorm additional concepts you know are related to that topic, and add them
as separate shapes. Make a note of the areas you know well and the areas you
need to better understand.


STEP 4: DRAW CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THESE CONCEPTS

With all your key concepts in place, it’s time to connect these ideas. Concepts
can be linked by lines or phrases that describe the relationship between them.


STEP 5: ESTABLISH A HIERARCHY

As a rule, the broadest and most widely applicable ideas are positioned at the
top of the hierarchy in a concept map, with the more specific and less
applicable ideas placed at the bottom. This isn’t always the case, though, and
you should arrange your ideas how they best work for you and your team. The
purpose of this step is to delineate which ideas are most important and
formative in shaping your thoughts on the topic and which are more downstream
and specialized.


STEP 6: DRAW FROM RESEARCH

Go through your research to fill in any information gaps you may have missed.
Focus on how concepts relate to each other and the key concept or focus
question.


STEP 7: COLLABORATE WITH YOUR TEAM

Invite other team members to collaborate on the concept map in real-time or
simply share the finished product to help them learn what you know about the
topic.


WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONCEPT MAPS?

Concept maps come in all different shapes and sizes. Here are a few of the
common formats:

 * Spiderman/spider map. The spider map (sometimes known as a semantic map) is
   named as such because of its spider-like appearance. All the information is
   displayed around the central diagnosis, making it easy to create and easy to
   read. However, it doesn’t always clearly demonstrate the relationships
   between concepts.

 * Hierarchical. In a hierarchical concept map, all the general information will
   sit at the top of the diagram. This will gradually feed into more specific
   information, giving readers an easy pattern to follow when reading. Much like
   the spider map, this format makes it hard to identify the relationships
   between ideas and concepts.

 * Flow chart. With a flow chart, the focus question or key concept sits at the
   top (or to the left) of the diagram. Scroll up and take a look at our concept
   map template as an example. You can see the main concept to the left of the
   diagram (current objectives), with more specific detail flowing from this
   concept (hiring, increase conversion, and so on). It’s clear, easy to follow,
   and you can demonstrate the relationships between ideas.

 * System map. A system map is an incredibly detailed and complex concept map.
   It includes all the information you need and the relationship between all the
   data. This can be a time-consuming option to create. And because it’s so
   complex, it’s harder to follow than the other formats.

If you’re not sure which of these formats is right for you, don’t worry. It’s
hard to know without giving them a try. Fortunately, Miro’s online whiteboard
allows you to customize your concept map template so you can figure out which
structure works best for you.


WHEN TO USE A CONCEPT MAP TEMPLATE

From helping someone learn a new idea to plotting out customer journeys, concept
maps are useful in a variety of situations. Take a look at some other situations
when a concept map template can be helpful.


TEACHING VISUAL LEARNERS A NEW CONCEPT

Concept maps help visual learners understand a new idea or concept. Some people
learn better with visuals rather than written instructions. It’s much more
engaging and easier for visual learners to follow.


LEARNING A NEW SUBJECT

Just as you can use a concept map to teach someone a new concept, you can also
make a concept map to understand an idea better. Many people use a concept map
in addition to other learning methods to get a better grasp of a topic.


MAPPING OUT A USER FLOW

Businesses commonly use concept maps to walk through the user flow of their
product. They help you understand your product as the customer sees it, giving
you a better understanding of brand perception. It also identifies areas of
improvement in the customer journey.


THE ADVANTAGES OF USING A CONCEPT MAP TEMPLATE

Concept maps provide a unique and visual depiction of concepts in a way that's
easy to follow — unless you use a system map! Let's look at some of the benefits
in more detail.


LEARN VISUALLY

Many people learn and think better visually than from something like reading a
lengthy essay. A high-quality concept map plays to the strengths of these
learners.


CLARIFY YOUR IDEAS

Concept maps simplify complex topics and ideas. Let’s say you need to present a
new concept to executives or cross-functional partners. You’re struggling to
wrap your head around the new concept, so you use a concept map. By doing so,
you’re able to spell out these ideas and their various connections beforehand
and then communicate them more effectively to others.


DRAW NEW CONNECTIONS

Concept mapping allows you to develop new ideas by looking at how different
concepts are connected. You’ll organize these concepts to better understand the
relationships between them.


SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE

A concept map helps teams see the bigger picture. With everything laid out in a
concept map, they’ll understand how everything connects. This gives them a
deeper understanding of how to support the success and development of the
business.


EXAMPLES OF CONCEPT MAPS

Let’s say you want to gain insights into the topic of climate change. You start
by adding climate change at the center of your concept map and draw cross-links
to causes, evidence, and solutions. After you brainstorm with your team, you add
more ideas to these topic clusters and make connections between them with hard
or dotted lines. To have a good concept map session, let your creativity flow.
Even if an idea seems too absurd or too unrealistic, write it down anyway.
Connections will appear the more ideas you add. And, have fun when concept
mapping!

REMOTE DESIGN SPRINT

WORKS BEST FOR:

Design, Desk Research, Sprint Planning

A design sprint is an intensive process of designing, iterating, and testing a
prototype over a 4 or 5 day period. Design sprints are conducted to break out of
stal, work processes, find a fresh perspective, identify problems in a unique
way, and rapidly develop solutions. Developed by Google, design sprints were
created to enable teams to align on a specific problem, generate multiple
solutions, create and test prototypes, and get feedback from users in a short
period of time. This template was originally created by JustMad, a
business-driven design consultancy, and has been leveraged by distributed teams
worldwide.

5 WHYS TEMPLATE

WORKS BEST FOR:

Design Thinking, Operations, Mapping

Ready to get to the root of the problem? There’s no simpler way to do it than
the 5 Whys technique. You’ll start with a simple question: Why did the problem
happen? Then you’ll keep asking, up to four more times, until the answer becomes
clear and you can work toward a solution. And Miro’s features enhance the
approach: You can ask team members questions in chat or @mention them in
comments, and use color-coded sticky notes to call out issues that are central
to the problem at hand.

Product Management, Roadmaps

Product roadmaps help communicate the vision and progress of what’s coming next

future project management, describe new features and product goals, and spell
out the lifecycle of a new product. While product roadmaps are customizable,
most contain information about the products you’re building, when you’re
building them, and the people involved at each stage.

VENN DIAGRAM TEMPLATE

WORKS BEST FOR:

Education, Diagrams, Brainstorming

Venn Diagrams have been a staple of business meetings and presentations since
the 1800s, and there’s a good reason why. Venn diagrams provide a clear,
effective way to visually showcase relationships between datasets. They serve as
a helpful visual aid in brainstorming sessions, meetings, and presentations. You
start by drawing a circle containing one concept, and then draw an overlapping
circle containing another concept. In the space where the circles overlap, you
can make note of the concepts’ similarities. In the space where they do not, you
can make note of their differences.
