A visual project map like this one can help you and your team get on the same page (literally!), serving as both a conversation facilitation tool and a concrete record of the team’s shared understanding. Taking the time to define your purpose, sketch your goals, identify roles, and name potential challenges early on builds a strong foundation and collective ownership of your project.

💡How to Draw a Lightbulb

I often use a simple lightbulb sketch during meetings, brainstorming, and notes. It’s quick to draw and easily conveys meaning, even if it’s not perfect!

  1. Draw an oval for the bulb.

  2. Add a three-sided box at the bottom for the base.

  3. Make two horizontal lines inside the box.

  4. Sketch two loops inside the oval to represent the filament.

  5. Draw five short lines radiating outward to show the bulb is "on."

3 Ways to Use a Lightbulb Drawing

Brainstorming or Problem Solving
Place your topic in the lightbulb’s center and jot ideas at the end of the radiating lines. If these spark new thoughts, add new lines to extend the diagram.

Ground Your Work in the "Why"
Write your "why" beneath the socket and place your project inside the bulb, grounding it—pun intended!—in your mission.. Annotate the lines radiating from the lightbulb with project phases, implications, stakeholders, etc.

Got a sudden idea during a meeting or conference? Draw a lightbulb next to it! This little symbol makes it easy to find and act on your ideas later.
