Tips for getting started
1. See what's possible
If you're not already familiar with Kumu, click on the links below to explore existing projects built using Kumu:
- The Madison Initiative by the Hewlett Foundation
- Migration Issues by Engaging Inquiry
- Climate Adaptation Solutions To Flood Resilience - Previous Finalist
- Homelessness in Salt Lake City - Previous Finalist
2. Start simple
Kumu has lots of features and functionality that are quite powerful but easy to get lost in. Focus your efforts on building the structure of your map (adding elements and connecting them) and save the decorations for after you’ve built your map.
3. Read the docs
We've built an extensive set of materials to help you in learning how to make the most of Kumu. We recommend that you start by reading the System Mapping guide and and then explore other guides as needed.
4. Reach out
If you get stuck or have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our team (support@kumu.io) and we’d be more than happy to assist.
