Share & help bring our Miro data to life!

Community! From August to September 2022, Miro surveyed over 2,000 people about their relationship with work. Our findings reveal that, though the current state of work is draining and knowledge workers' desire for connection remains strong. And although many companies are shifting to a hybrid work model and research shows a majority of workers want this but hybrid is still a work in progress. 🔗 We'd love your thoughts on how to make hybrid work better as well as your thoughts on collaboration in the workplace. Please share your opinions here. Your stories will help bring our data to life, illuminating how three interconnecting relationships—to work itself, to each other, and to our work selves—are forming the foundation for the future of work. As always, thank you for sharing your opinions and views with us!

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.

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-miro I’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
