Hello, I've started a project using Engestrom's model of Activity Theory (AT). This AT model comprises a series of concentric triangles for explaining activities and comparing aspects of activities (i.e. tools, subject, object, outcome...). Here's an example:

My question is this:
Does anyone know of any figure templates for doing AT analysis?
As an alternative solution, what are some easy-to-use software options for making figures?
Thanks in advance!

Hi! Interesting that there seems to be no template software built on this theory? For making all kinds of figures very easily, get a mindmap software with many symbols. I use Inspiration 9 for Windows, and have used Inspiration since 1995. This software seem not to be available (?), but instead now a very good app from the same firm, "Inspiration maps". Check https://apps.apple.com/us/app/inspiration-maps-vpp/id1492306284
Very useful. Possible to convert to other kinds of documents. Another alternative can be Miro, Mindmanager, Visio, Mindjet etc. Haven't worked very much with those since Inspiration works so well.
To follow up: So far I have had the most success manually making the AT models on PowerPoint. For me, it's been easier than learning new software.
