We know Miro as “simply beyond awesome” for virtual collaborative work, such as product development, design thinking and managing work flows. As a facilitator (including yours truly), we’ve used Miro extensively to deliver learning events and workshops. But how about people development? For the people leaders amongst us, working in organisations, have you used Miro to engage and inspire your co-workers? Or as platform to encourage open team conversations? What are your action-oriented leadership moves using Miro?I would love to learn what you’ve done for your team members, and the impact you’ve made using Miro as a people development tool. Here’s some plays that I’ve created and curated from The Facilitative & Visually Engaging Leader that I hope can trigger your own ideas! How might we...ensure diversity in hiring is TRULY practised and leaders are informed How might we….ensure team agreements are inclusive by making both co-workers AND leaders accountable and responsible How migh

Happy Friday  There are so many inspiring templates on Miroverse, and we can't to stop talking about them  Today I would like to highlight 3 templates from different categories:  Filmmakers Storyboard by Persistent Productions is a useful tool for any content creator today. This board merges your shot lists, your film's dialogue and your visual elements all in one place. It puts together a road map for how your film will look when it gets into the edit bay and keeps all of your various teams, whether they are on set all together or you are producing the shoot remotely, on the same page throughout productionFilmmakers Storyboard by Persistent Productions The Privilege Walk (Game) by DesignComputing is a template to carry out remotely a group activity designed to help players talk about and share their understanding of the impact of systemic privilege. This activity is useful as an icebreaker and is also valuable for diverse groups to reveal the effects of systemic privilege in an uneven

Hi everyone   Every Monday we tell you about all the amazing templates we publish on Miroverse We would now love to introduce the creators behind all the work This week I talked to @DWestgarth, the creator of Star Wars Sith Lord Retrospective, Star Wars Jedi Master Retrospective, NBA Retrospective and more, and asked him about his Miroverse story, template inspirations, and his future template plans   How did you get into Miroverse? I got my first look at Miroverse taking part in the Miro Retrospective template challenge. I was blown away by the number and variety of templates available there as previously I’d used Miro exclusively for retro templates but now find myself looking at everything from org structures to UX assets and tonnes of agile event resources!It’s really helped me diversify the tasks and templates I create on Miro and it’s also a great resource to get my creative hat on and start putting together engaging and useful content for my org and teams.  Why Retro templates?

Hiya,  This week we have our annual offsite at Miro!  Usually, offsite is an event when the entire distributed Miro team comes together to a single place to work and have fun together.Due to You-Know-What, this year our offsite (just like in 2020) was transformed into a HUGE virtual event  And this is so cool! We have all-hands sessions, as well as breakout rooms with activities; fireside chats and amazing quizzes, and more.  Do you usually have an offsite at your company? Did/Will you have an offsite this year? If yes, in what format? Do you believe that online events can be as engaging as in-person ones?Please share your thoughts in the comments    The world’s biggest retro at Miro Summer Offsite 2020

Hi,I've seen many many tutorial, they are great...But, I am looking for a real workshop video.I wish to see how people interact at real time, not just Miro’s team explaining how it is meant to be.If you have any video/recording of a real user, I'll be glad to get one.Thanks

I am seeking a consultant/ freelancer who can support our foresight workshops on a periodic basis. I realize this is not a job board, but it is difficult to find people who might do this work. (Also was not sure where to post this)Thanks for any recommendations! Amy

Like many of you, I am using Miro for live online participatory workshop events. Almost all of the people attending my events are brand new to Miro, and by far the most difficult part of the workshop is getting them over that first hurdle of learning how to use the tool well enough to participate. Half of the difficulty is teaching them what they should avoid doing by accident!   This is much more difficult for people who are not digital natives, and in larger groups it is almost guaranteed that at least one participant will be lost and frustrated. What have you tried? What worked best?

A very big THANK YOU for such a great tool you guys have created for us! We use Miro all day, every day in collab sessions, daily planning- and standup meetings, creating visualizations, team structures, brainstorms and just generally having FUN as we connect with co-workers online! You make our work a joy! Here is an example of our daily standup board, each team mate has an avatar, shows what they’ve done yesterday, what they’re planning on for today, a daily gif and song of the day and then a show & tell section where we showcase our work and struggles and triumphs.Here's to many more adventures on Miro – we love you guys! 

Hi everyone, some news from the Miroverse here  Since not too long ago we began publishing Miroverse templates weekly and are very excited about it. From now on, we will be sharing the inspiring work Miro users share with us   Please give a warm welcome to our 8 new amazing templates this week: This week, we got 3 new Retro templates, two of which would particularly appeal to action film fans.Star Wars Sith Lord Retrospective and An Olympic Retrospective by @DWestgarth The Avengers Retrospective by Michel Veloso  Company Organization Chart by @Reid Thomas is a great tool to help you visualise corporate structures Tools to Build Stronger Cross-functional Teams by Dorris can be used as a tool to create alignment on project goals and a tool to give feedback to your team mates Content Modeling by Nikoo Yahyazadeh breaks down your content into pieces (content types) and defines the relationships between those pieces of content.

I, along with two friends, have a rooftop garden in the heart of Montreal. As you may know Montreal is not known for its long or reliable growing seasons, this being said organization is everything. This summer we are in has not been the best year for our garden, three different people had completely different goals about what to grow where and when. This resulted in a late start to the season and some plants not finding their way into the larger beds we built for them :( These sad tomato times have lead us to rethink the system, to say the least. One thing that set us back this spring was how all three of us showed up with a map of our ideal garden on a piece of paper and this led to us having to waste planting season arguing with each other. Last week we sat down next to our respective computers, opened Zoom and designed our next garden in Miro. We were able to plan it to a tee, it is to scale, we know how many pots we need, exactly how much soil we need, where the sun will be at dif

Hello, in my last coaching-session I used the Clusterizer in combination with my favorite tools Unsplash / Iconfinder / Stickies    Michael

I do a little guitar and bass teaching in my spare time and have thought of using Miro for communicating music theory to students - would be a great teaching environment overall, particularly in terms of students asking questions / working together on pitch/harmony etc Can’t see any suitable templates so far - am I missing something?

There’s so much more to Miro than just #whiteboarding or collaborative work! That’s what I believe in and I’m actively trying to push Miro’s boundaries. Especially now that many of us are working in hybrid or fully remote environments, doesn’t it make sense to create a ‘Third Place’ in the clouds to interact and engage, people to people?If you’re interested to understand how Miro can be used as people leader or in people development, do join us at our next APAC VMUG event on 21 July 5pm (GMT+8)More details in the link. Oh, PS. We’re experimenting with milk produce too. Come join!Register for the event here: https://events.miro.com/events/details/miro-apac-presents-leadership-people-development-in-hybrid-virtual-workplaces/

Any usage of MIRO for Agile Gaming exercise?

Hey Miro Heroes! We want to make sure you love this community and feel comfortable here As we move forward and develop community programs, we really need to hear from you to inform our strategy and improve your overall experience with Miro Community.  Please take a moment to name one thing you think our community does well and one thing we could improve. Share your thoughts in the thread  

So we are keen on creating a list of educational and informative material that the whole product design team can contribute to and take value from. This could be books, online resources and also courses. A Trello list is our first option, or a spreadsheet. But I was wondering if anyone had created a board in Miro in an intuitive way that could accommodate a collaborative reading list? It’s a basic one, but keen to see how creative others have been!
