Miro board designers for workshops: do they exist?

Hi everyone, my business has an 8 month B2B Strategic Partnerships Program that in the old days of f2f workshops, we delivered in 3 modules of 2-3 days per module (plus some other support activities like one-on-one coaching).We initially moved 2 of the program modules online using Zoom, PDFs of our original workshop materials, and then Mural. And then we discovered the joy of Miro and have been using it with shorter programs since the end of 2020.We are now looking at redesigning our 8 month program to be completely online, with all the content in Miro - both our design and the participants’ work over the 8 months too.While we’ve been forced to gain a bit of experience doing this over the last year, we’re trying to find a Miro expert with (we guess) a visual design / UX design background who can help us:1) design an overall Miro board(s) structure that supports the program’s structure and participant activities - which we’ve redesigned to move from f2f to online delivery;2) create a co

Liberating Structures using Miro!

I am sure many of you have already used different techniques to create your workshops. I am consistently dipping into Liberating Structures to string together experiences. I’ve used a few for clients and have also actively experimented with a number in Miro to get a sense of where they can work smoothly or otherwise.My list so far:1-n-4-AllConversation CafeTRIZDraw TogetherUX FishbowlWhat Liberating Structures have you tried building with Miro?

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

Participants moving objects

I just completed my first few Miro workshops.  I experienced a repeated problem.  Maybe I missed something but I locked almost every board and object but I had pre-loaded some of the frames with blank sticky notes.  At one point during the workshop, a participant or many participants moved all the sticky notes, I’m sure by accident.  I’m not sure if they accidentally highlighted them all or they were grouped by me beforehand.  At any rate, are there any settings or ways to avoid participants moving things around?  It messes with a facilitated session if you get to a board that has been manipulated inadvertently.  It has happened to me in every session I’ve done.  It would be great if there were some controls to limit participants privileges on the board in terms of what tools they can use.  Like can you lock them out of making arrows or shapes, etc?Thank you!

From Miro to a clickable high-fidelity prototype in minutes

For those creating low-fidelity wireframes on Miro, you can actually import your wireframes to Uizard to automatically turn them into high-fidelity prototypes. 1. Draw your wireframes on MiroStart off by drawing your wireframes on Miro, and be mindful of using Uizard's wireframing language while at it. You can do that by following Uizard's sketching guide. 2. Take screenshots of your wireframes, and upload them to UizardDo this, and watch Uizard's AI transform your low-fidelity wireframes to editable high-fidelity screens! 3. Edit and customize your screens to completeUpon transformation, you can polish and customize your design in Uizard through easy drag-and-drop! There are a lot of templates you can use too, such as the conversation screen below. Bonus:You can even take your design further by linking screens together and automatically generating your own theme from any image or URL. Hope this helps! Enoy!

Hello miro community, I have created a SFD (S*** First Draft) of a Force Field Analysis. A quick workshop to share understanding about opposing forces when introducing change. Please forgive me that I’m not the most visually creative kind of. The board contains some background information on Force Field Analysis. A good introduction and my main inspiration: https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTED_06.htmLooking forward to your feedback and improvement tips.Also happy to find some contributors for some more appealing creative design.

How my Miro use for facilitation has evolved in 1 year!

As a facilitator (both process & training facilitation), my choice of using Miro one year ago was driven by a single: a collaborative platform where ALL participants can engage and interact. The more active, the better!So, it’s really important to onboard new (and returning) participants onto Miro. Do it well and the experience will be tremendous. I take pride for meticulous onboarding regardless for a group 2 or 200.Here’s how my Miro onboarding has evolved over the last year!June 2020 - I started using Miro in April 2020 and this was one of the first paid client events done virtual. Basic look and at that point, anybody can unlock anything on a Miro board. It was dangerous times, but we love it! Current 2021 - This is how my Miro onboarding segment currently looks like. Any recurring challenges that participants continuously came across in my previous sessions are addressed in this view. The number of Miro tools that I demo are also context dependent. The shorter the event, the l

Workspace for Client Projects & Planning

Hello! I’m relatively new to Miro and even newer to the world of having my own clients. When I started working with a new client a couple of months ago, I decided to create a Miro board for both of us to use both during our meetings and as a resource.Bird’s eye view: long term plans, kanban task list, meeting agendas, then one column per project/focus areaMy client hired me to help her with up to 9 projects/focus areas around a more formal launch of her small consulting company, so I created one frame per project and organized them into a horizontal row. Any notes or new frames related to a project will be placed underneath the top frame to maintain organization. The kanban template on the left works like a charm to keep us on track with our current and future projects.Closer view of website project and email marketing project notes and visualsI’m sure there’s room for improvement, but so far this method is working for us. I look forward to seeing how it works for us in the coming week

Objectives Template - active bars to show priorities

Hi community! I like to share a trick to show and easily manage a set of bars on Miro. For example, I use it in workshops together with my clients to define Objectives & KPIs for Digital Strategy. All the elements on the board are locked except the rectangles (horizontal and vertical) that you could stretch until arrive at the level you want. Here is a public board to see an example:     BTW, this board should be also a good template for Miro users (beyond the bar function).  Cheers, Mauro

Service Delivery Roadmap: How to represent information in an active bar

I am wondering if there is an easier way to divide a bar to show % of completion, Delay and In progress for a particular use case. I added multiple square bars and colored them individaully and matched them to its adjacent bar and this entire process was very inconvenient. I hope someone can suggest an easier way to represent these. Delivery Roadmap

What is the best template to display quarterly achievements in 3 categories?

Hey, I’m seeking a great visual to display all achievements made through a quarter for 3 different categories. I know miro is the place, but I can’t figure out which template to use. Does anyone have any suggestions?  I would like to list the achievement, the time spent, and the impact of it. Thank you!

How do you use Miro as a UX Researcher?

Hello there, Anybody can share how you use Miro as a UX Researcher?  Next month Miro’s Researcher @Eduardo Gomez Ruiz will give a webinar on “Getting the most out of Miro as a UX Researcher”, and he’d like to show some examples from different companies to make it feel more real. If you’re interested and you could make a version of sections of your Miro board that obscures the details of the project and focuses on the format that other researchers could borrow, that would be great! Ideally, with a quote or a few notes into the HOW, PROCESS, or BENEFITS. Screenshots also work! Does not need to be fancy or super visually appealing. Our goal for the conference is not to show the tool but rather explore the ways to maximize the value for a researcher, which may entail how you engage stakeholders with your research process or findings, how you do the analysis or capture notes, how you present the findings, etc.   If you want to be featured explicitly during the talk (optional), please also s

Virtual Conference in Miro: My Story - My Failure - My Win

Hi there!!! Here’s a solution I came up for a virtual conference...using Miro!!  My Story We wanted to replicate the energizing feeling that comes with attending an in-person conference...virtually! I used Design Thinking to work through what challenges (cost, lack of human connection etc..) we needed to solve for and decided to create a prototype in Miro.   My Failure After putting quite a bit of time thinking through the solution and crafting the solution, we determined that a less complex approach would be used to accomodate the conference hosts. It felt like a failure because it the new approach did not quite address the challenges we were looking to solve for.  My Win I still view this a win because the process allowed us to think through challenges we needed to solve for, especially as this is a repeating event. If you’re thinking about hosting a virtual conference, think no further than Miro.

Has anyone used Miro for their kid's school work?

I know that educators frequently use Miro for teaching, but what about students themselves?Have your kids ever used Miro to do their homework? For example, building a virtual poster instead of a physical one?  Interested in hearing your stories.

3D places and spaces in Miro

I’ve been inspired by the work of Team @Hued and some other designers/users on Miro where the Miro space is made 3 dimensional. So I have decided to try this for myself. Man, it takes a bit work! I certainly have to configure myself to think of depth and perspectives.For the record, I’m using vector art in .svg to reduce size.If you have been trying this way of building Miro, share your own creation in the comments! My inspiration:https://miro.com/miroverse/the-amsterdam-house/ PS. I have very limited artistic bones in me!

Are you a Miro coach or offer Miro facilitation services?

I am an independent consultant currently planning a workshop with ca. 100 participants.We will use Miro for facilitation during the workshop. I am looking for live advice/coaching on how to use Miro effectively with large group workshops.I would also be interested to hire someone who can co-facilitate workshops from a Miro functionality perspective. The only expertise needed is guiding participants through Miro functionality, no other subject matter expertise needed. Are you interested in this type of gig work or know someone who might be?

What must be said - to all the developers & programers @miro that we did not see and maybe not notice ...

Hello everyone @miro your programming people and developers,at this time I am working with my own templates for a workshop … and I have noticed what you’re worked on:Months ago when I added a created template on my board I have to think about the size of my template and I have to move my mouse on my board where is enough space.Now: No matter where I am on my board:Adding the template / Whoosh … it’s been placed automaticly where there is free space.In the past it happend that elements where placed overlapping. Not anymore!Thank you for all the work that you do and you have done that we did not see and notice.Your’e great - you do an awsome job - you making miro this what it is:One of the best tools in the world and you … you should get the best award  in the world for it! Thank you for all your hard work !!! Michael

How to set up Miro and get a group started

Hi folksA client uses Miro, so I’m using it for a workshop in a couple of weeks. I’ve already spent some time playing to get used to the controls.Some in my group of up to 15 will know how to use it but others will be a new. The client is sending a briefing out beforehand, but they’re busy people - I won’t expect them all to have the hang of it.So, I’d really appreciate some pointers for:1 How to set up a Miro board for brainstorming and capturing thoughts, with 3-4 groups 2 How to give them a walkthrough at the start (maybe combined with an icebreaker)Thank you

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.
