K-J Technique Template

The K-J Technique PowerPoint Template is a simple and editable presentation slide for explaining and using the Kawakita Jiro affinity method. It helps teams organize ideas, identify patterns, and group related information into clear categories. The template includes six colorful sticky notes on the left to represent raw ideas from a brainstorming session. Each sticky note is fully editable, so you can replace the sample content with your own ideas. A curved connector guides the audience through three simple steps: Capture, Group, and Label. This makes the K-J Technique easy to understand, even for people who are new to the method.

On the right side, the K-J Technique template shows how ideas look after they have been organized into related groups. Six paired panels provide a clear example of the grouping process, with editable titles for each category. You can easily change the text, colors, note sizes, group names, and connector lines to match your workshop or presentation. The flexible layout also allows you to add or remove sticky notes and groups based on the number of ideas you need to organize. This makes the template useful for different types of brainstorming and qualitative data analysis activities.

This K-J Technique PowerPoint template is ideal for UX research, design thinking workshops, product strategy sessions, root cause analysis, brainstorming activities, qualitative research, and classroom exercises. It can help facilitators explain the affinity mapping process while giving participants a visual structure for organizing ideas. The dark background creates a clear contrast with the colorful sticky notes and blue step labels, making the slide easy to view on projectors and shared screens.
