Find and use FigJam templates

Speed up your workflow and save time setting up a FigJam board with templates for brainstorms, meetings, diagramming, and more.

Templates add pre-created content to a new or existing file, giving your team guidance and starting points they can build on. For example, the Daily standup template adds pre-created columns to your board so your team can add their tasks and goals as stickies. The Prioritization matrix template adds designated spaces for brainstorming and a matrix for determining feasibility and priority for ideas in a project.

Browse FigJam templates

Use templates in FigJam to:

• Optimize meeting agendas, daily stand-ups, ice breakers, and 1:1s
• Quickly build user journey maps, fishbone diagrams, and flow charts
• Create empathy maps, pros and cons charts, and information architecture diagrams
• Have some fun with your team with games like chess, connect four, and more

You can browse templates created by Figma from the file browser or the templates picker in a file. FigJam templates by other creators can also be found and duplicated in the Figma Community.
