What are some useful uses of whiteboards?

Retrospectives are an easy use for whiteboards, but I struggle to find other uses for them. Can anyone give any suggestions or examples where they have been used to increase collaboration or simplify a process?

Whenever we used a physical board in the past...

So also, for concept work with devs or drawing an idea of a process or a business. Sometimes only for a few days. Then we move them to real documentation images.

I’m using the whiteboard for brainstorming and mapping out the customer journey. To me, it's all about visualizing key touchpoints and ideas in a way that’s easy to understand. Instead of getting lost in a sea of words, it’s incredibly helpful to draw everything on the board, making the process much clearer and more interesting. Ideas inspire more ideas.

For me it's more a case of what do I not use Whiteboards for...

1.) Process and other Technical Designs
2.) Team Kanban board
3.) Planning a project through work breakdown structures
4.) Story Mapping
5.) Embedding screenshots of applications and discussing changes.
6.) Visualising information architecture design changes
