Cheers to closing out 2021, Miro Community! 🎉

Hello out there! As we wind down 2021 and look forward to 2022...here’s a quick virtual message from our team to you and yours. So many Mironeers (internal Miro staffers) were eager to spread the joy to you, we couldn’t resist! A great, big THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed so passionately throughout the years to the strength of the Miro Community. It is the people that make Miro so incredibly special, and this community (and you, yes you!) are taken incredibly seriously as we consider our plans for the future. Having just joined in June 2021, it has been my absolute honor to see what is possible because of all of you. I appreciate every message, phone call, workshop, session as we co-create this community together. It’s sounds cliche, but we really are at the beginning -- and I am over-the-moon excited about the future. A few of my favorite community-inspired things from the past year (it was hard to narrow it down!) The every day moments: The millions of interactions cre

Product Alignment Framework: Miro's approach to the structured product discovery and retrospectives

Hi Miro Heros! As you may know, within the last 15 months, Miro has seen explosive growth — going from 3 million to 20 million users and from 300 to 900 employees! 📈 But this hasn’t been without challenges, for all teams, especially our product teams on how to scale our processes. Shortly after I joined Miro – back in early 2020 –, I spent some time crafting and introducing a standard approach to address some of challenges around our product discovery and decision-making engine. We call this framework the Product Alignment Framework, and it’s currently being used across all product teams at Miro. I thought it would be helpful to prepare a write up and a Coda template that you can re-use and adopt for your own team’s need. Read more about our framework here and copy the doc to get started:https://coda.io/@farbod/product-alignment-framework-at-miroI’d also love to hear your thoughts, questions and feedback on the framework. Join the conversation and drop them under this post and I’ll g

A Year of Remote Work: A new research report from Miro

Today, Miro released our new report, “A Year of Remote Work,” in which we surveyed 1,000 remote workers to see how remote work has affected their personal lives, professional lives, and mental health. Among our findings: Nearly half (49%) of people who are married or in live-in partnerships say that working from home has improved their relationship with their spouse or partner. 62% of parents with children under 18 say that working from home has improved their relationships with their kids. 57% of remote workers say they are more likely to multitask during virtual meetings than they were before the pandemic. One-third of knowledge workers (33%) are awake for less than 20 minutes before they begin work in the morning.I’m interested in hearing from Miro users whether these (or any other findings in the report) resonate. Any thoughts?

Cheers to 1 year around the Miroverse 🚀

Reflecting on a year of Miroverse It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since we released Miroverse into the world. Since then, we’ve seen more than 350 creators share 550+ templates, including frameworks, activities — even art!The best part? Miroverse makes it easy for anyone in the Miro community to copy and use each of these user-generated templates, so as the gallery grows, so does the impact of all the brave, generous teams who share their work. I wanted to say a big thank you to our community for sharing their workflows with the world. Earlier in the month, we asked for the thoughts and feedback from our Miroverse creators before taking the opportunity ourselves to reflect on how it started, how it’s going, and where it’s headed ourselves. You can find the conversation between Nik, Mariam, and myself, captured this blog article. To spread the love with our creators I’d like to ask the community here…What is your favorite Miroverse template? Let them know below
