Trick: Double-clicking an object that is part of a group let's you move that single object

After using Miro for 3+ years, it’s still fun when you discover something you didn’t know.In this example, I will group the four images and then double-click the top-left one (the cat with the fishbowl) and move it separate from the group. Next I will do the same with the puppy. This saves me from Ctrl+Shift+G to ungroup, rearrange, and then Shift+drag to select all and Ctrl+G to group. I didn’t see any mention of this in the Structuring Board Content → Grouping Help Center article, but I expect it’s a feature and not a bug.

Miroverse Template Creators: Reid Thomas inspiring us to use Miro outside of work

Hi everyone Welcome to the second edition of the Miroverse Template Creators series where we introduce the people behind all the amazing work Last week I had a chance to chat to@Reid Thomas about his Miro(verse) experience Who is Reid?Reid is the community manager at Unito, an integration solution that builds two-way connections between your favorite work tools (with a Miro integration in the works! ). He is also an active Miro community member who created a couple of cool templates Finding Miro(verse)After finding out about Miro in a presentation at work, Reid started looking through Miroverse, borrowing templates, and learning about Miro by browsing through our community. He quickly became an active Miro community member after that. Reid is someone who believes that tools like Miro should not only be used in a professional setting, but also outside of work. For example, he once created a Miro board to help a friend plan moving apartments.He even used a Miroverse retro template

How I create motion design video about Miro

Hi! My name is Valery, I'm a motion designer and I'm creating a video about a virtual Miro board in motion design style.I learned about Miro quite recently when I was faced with the need to structure my ideas. Where to do it, if not on the board? It has all the necessary tools for visualizing connections and generating new ideas. This inspired me to create a video.What was my surprise when, in search of material to create a general concept, I found out that this is a successful startup from Russia.First of all, I picked up the music, selectively wrote to some people from the list of subscribers to Miro in different social networks and asked them why they liked using a virtual whiteboard. I studied the content that the guys have in social networks, analyzed the color solutions and generated a color palette for my video.It's time to start the animation. Here begins the most pleasant part of the work. Based on the music and mood, I sketched a lot of animation options using only primitives

Integrative Thinking Case Study

Hi there Miro Community, The video below is a walkthrough of an integrative thinking case study I did this week. It walks our business owner through a tough decision around how she wants to grow her business. She isn’t content with option A or B, so she creates option LMNOP. I’d love feedback and I’m also curious to know how you guys handle the process-to-practical Miro applications in your own work. Here’s a link to the board if you’d like to check it out in further detail:

Miro and ISO training--my transformation

Like many others, pivoting from in-person training to virtual training was painful using Zoom, teams, LiveWebinar and Webex. The topic of international standards like ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO/IEC 17025 have the potential to be incredibly boring, even in person. My role play roles and physical gestures were a mainstay to keep students awake!It only took seeing Miro once to already see the potential for engagement of every person in the room and deepening their understanding. And most of all, be able to apply the concepts!Building in Miro for the activities was straightforward thanks to being able to use or create templates. The timer keeps people honest. For training, Miro saved the day.Within our own company, however, we have taken uses of Miro to the next level. We use it to design training by mind mapping concepts and then ordering content in logical sequences. And of course, rearranging the content and activities as the concepts get refined.I love having easy access t

📸 Share photos or videos of your hybrid set-up

Hey Miro Community! We’d love to see photos or videos of how you are experimenting with various hybrid set ups, whether for workshops, meetings, or team hub spaces -- in a formal office or otherwise. If you’d like to add some pointers and lessons learned, I’m sure others would appreciate that as well. Some questions to jumpstart the discussion:Share your photos! Describe the set up. How many people were joining in-person? Remotely? What was the main reason for the session? How did you set up your Miro board for people to participate and engage? Were most people familiar with Miro already? What other tools did you use? Describe how facilitation and meeting skills contributed to the session / collaboration. Any learnings after the session happened? We’re looking to learn from you all as we’re building out our company and product strategy here.

I just wanted to leave some feedback on the User Story Map template

I've just been trying to use Miro for Story Mapping using the Story Mapping template. It was looking good to start with but after a while when I came to need to organise Activities and items on the backbone row it all just fell apart and I had to give up.The behaviour of the Activity and Backbone row items basically breaks the entire usefulness of the User Story Map template for me. The way I story map, I have Activities at the top, then items on the backbone row form the 'walking skeleton', these are the minimum set of non-optional stories that enable the system to work. To start with items under the backbone might be details or sub-tasks of backbone items, but further down the map, perhaps several release slices down, tasks at that location still relate to the activity, but may not relate directly to whatever task was on the backbone row. These later tasks might represent alternative user journeys through the system, or quality of life improvements for the activity.The problem is tha

Planning projects together

When our team started planning new projects for the current period, we decided that it was time to have everyone participate and commit. We also wanted everyone to know about everyone else’s projects, and we wanted to provide a chance for everyone to participate in anything that was of their interest and matched their skillset. Obviously, we jumped directly to Miro.In our board, a few things happen:Everyone participated planning the projects. Everyone shares updates on the activities related to the projects they are involved with. Everyone provides feedback!The last point is the one I am most excited about. During our monthly meetings, the whole team jumps into the Miro board to write questions, comments, suggestions, and provide help. We have never been a better connected team (even if we are working from home).

How I adapted my approach to remote workshops

As an Agile Coach I used to work with clients in-person - I love that ❤️Conducting a remote workshop isn’t just the same - nor should it be. Both formats have their benefits and disadvantages, but as a facilitator I can’t just do the same in a remote setting what I used to do in-person by using a digital whiteboard. I reflected upon this little dilema in a recent article of mine. As a facilitator of a remote workshop I have to think about much more deliberatly then for an in-person workshop. I have to create and set the stage perfectly so that my audience isn’t drifting off. ➡️ Here you find my article: The missing 10 minutes before a remote workshop ⬅️❓I would love to know, what do you do differently when preparing a remote workshop compared to an in-person workshop? And what do you think about the tips I layed out in my article?⬇️Below you can find an example that I explain in the article how I try to set the stage even before the actual workshop has started.
