Reveal content just-in-time using shapes

I wanted to share a simple, yet effective technique for hiding content on a Miro board that I first saw used by Greg Kozera during his Virtual Miro User Group presentation: V-MUG03: How to add gamification to your facilitation with Miro.Throughout his presentation, Greg kept his talking points hidden under rectangles that were the same colour as their surrounding, and only revealed the content as he was ready to talk about it. After a while, I found myself curious and excited to see what was coming next!Not only I have started doing this when presenting my own content, but I also started using this approach to hide some objects on the board that I will use at some point, e.g., additional images or icons, but didn’t want them to make my board look “messy”.Here is an example in action: Tip: The default board/frame HEX colour is #F2F2F2 - add this to your colour swatch Related linksAbout Greg’s presentation → https://go.miro.com/gamification-with-miro Watch it here → https://youtu.be/AujO

Do you sit weirdly when you work too?

When you see me on a Zoom call, you’ll notice that I often put my hands on the arms of my chair and lift myself up for a moment, but you don’t see why. Below the video frame, I’m shifting my legs and adjusting my body so I sit cross-legged. Otherwise, I sit on my right foot while my left leg is bent, my left foot is flat on my seat, and my left knee isn’t far from my chin. That’s how I’m sitting now as I type this, with my left arm wrapped around my left knee to reach the keyboard. It sounds so bizarre as I write it out, but these two ways of sitting are the only ways that I can be comfortable while I work. Interestingly, sometimes these postures make me sit up straighter and lean forward so I look more energized on camera. In contrast, on the rare occasions that I sit with my feet flat on the floor, I look higher status because I take up more space in my chair, or I look uninterested and too cool for school because I lean backward and slouch like I’m in the front row at a movie thea

Wait, can you make eye contact on video calls?

Ummm are you supposed to look at the person on the screen? Are you supposed to stare into the camera?…. During the body language event today, we talked about how important facial expressions are on video calls because we can’t see the body of the person across from us. Even hand gestures are a different thing on video, so the face does the talking - literally and figuratively. Plus, eye contact is important to show someone that you’re listening to them and you care about what they’re sharing. But how do you do it? I find that if someone consistently looks at one part of their screen, it’s clear to me that they’re focused on me and we’re connected. I do the same - but I tend to put my video on the left side of my screen and notes on the right, so my head is slightly turned to the left when I’m talking to someone on video. Also, I’ll say it - it’s so obvious when someone keeps looking at themselves on video…it’s brutal but we all do it! So, what do you think? How can you make eye contact

I would like to learn how to use Miro as a project planning tool

Instead of these webinars, where it is strange to ask questions when you have set a tight plan. I would like to just go into Vimeo or Youtube and see how to do and get working. Or you could make interactive classes inside Miro as you do in the beginning.I would like to learn how to use Miro as a project planning tool. Inside a Scrum environment, or a Lean project framwork. I guess your projectleaders, developers already work with Scrum and Agile so it should be an easy one to teach newbees.Also weekly meetings and calendar integration would be nice to know more about, to get right into the best way to work with Miro and make it a productive tool that can help gaining profit and make the buisness thrive…

On the same page: Aligning on customer value in a time of confusion and chaos

We sat down with Matt Anderson from Think Startup and his colleague Rob to speak about why it’s difficult to align on customer value. “Customers’ expectations are brutal and are showing no signs of slowing down. Customers are better informed than ever and have a more even playing field equipped with a keyboard and a poor experience. This is not going away any time soon.” Would you agree?

The Product Vision Cue

Hello Miro lovers! Some time ago, I created the Product Vision Cue template. It’s mainly for Product/Project Managers and Product Owners, but can be used by anyone who wants to coherently outline the vision of a specific product or initiative. The purpose of the canvas is to detail the specifics of any given product (or subset of product) on a general level and establish a data-driven approach to the development of said product.We have used it in my development team for about a year and it has been helpful for us in our quest to create magic together. I also wrote a story about it on Medium:https://medium.com/design-bootcamp/introducing-the-product-vision-cue-39c57cce6906Are you using a canvas or other kind of template when outlining the vision of a specific product/service or initiative in your team?

New video about Miro sticky notes - perfect for sharing!

Hi Miro Community,This week we created a standalone video about Miro sticky notes! It includes everything you (or maybe a client of yours) would want to know about this handy brainstorming tool. My favorite tip is that you can copy cells from a spreadsheet and paste them on a Miro board to create individual sticky notes. Such a time saver! Check out the 4-min video in the standalone section at Miro Academy: https://academy.miro.com/What’s your favorite tip about sticky notes? Share with us below!
