Architecture Whiteboard for Design Workshops

Run architecture workshops with freeform whiteboards that can reference your C4 model. Combine structured documentation with creative exploration.

Freeform Whiteboarding Connected to Your C4 Model

Sketch, brainstorm, and explore architecture ideas on a freeform whiteboard. Link whiteboard elements to your C4 model to bridge informal exploration with structured documentation.

Whiteboard sessions produce nothing permanent

Great ideas are sketched on whiteboards or Miro boards, then forgotten. Nothing connects to the official architecture.

Gap between exploration and documentation

Informal sketching happens in one tool; formal documentation in another. The bridge between them is manual.

Architecture brainstorming is disconnected

Design exploration cannot reference existing architecture elements, so teams reinvent or misunderstand what already exists.

Create a freeform whiteboard within your Archyl project. Infinite canvas for sketching and brainstorming.

Sketch architecture ideas

Draw, add shapes, write notes, and explore architecture designs freely.

Reference existing C4 elements on your whiteboard. Drag in systems, containers, and components from your model.

Promote to formal architecture

When whiteboard ideas are validated, create proper C4 elements from your sketches.

Freeform whiteboarding with shapes, text, connectors, and images. No grid constraints.

Drop C4 elements from your architecture model onto the whiteboard. Explore ideas in the context of existing architecture.

Collaborative Whiteboarding

Multiple team members can whiteboard together in real-time.

Shareable Whiteboards

Share whiteboards with public links for stakeholder review.

Architecture Design Sessions

Brainstorm new features on a whiteboard while referencing the existing C4 model.

Stakeholder Communication

Create visual explanations that combine formal C4 elements with informal annotations.

Explore architecture problems freely before committing to formal changes.

Where brainstorming meets structured architecture
