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

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?
