Inspiration and connection

The San Francisco chapter of Miro's User Group (MUG) is hosting a virtual miro user group! We're teaming up with Can Wang and Mariana Almeida from Upwork to discuss problem solving and ideation strategy in product development and how their tackling their users needs! Join us virtually wherever you are on April 9th at 2pm PST for fun collaborative workshop and presentation

Hey everyone! Yesterday we had a fun and interactive V-MUG session where we talked about….BRAINS! Okay, well not exactly.  @Jeremy Pollack, Solution Principal at Slalom Consulting and Miro’s very own Customer Success Guru, Iris Latour let us in on how their Miro boards encompass an entire project and evolve from planning to ideation to final products all in one commonplace to create a second brain!   Check out the video recording!      Here are some questions from the V-MUG. Feel free to chime in!  How would you characterize your corporate culture - pre-Miro and post Miro - any changes/differences? Two p

Last week was the first for our product-dev teams working fully remote! So many adjustments! From our home workspaces, to communication, to coffee-making, lots of routines now look different.   On Friday, when we ran the retrospective, we used Mad Sad Glad framework to share our emotions about the new order. Team was mad and sad about things like slow internet speed at home, an unstable working day, too little movement compared to going outside and walking around the office, the uncertainty, and having to cook instead of having snacks at the office But most votes were around the cluster of communication: low level of personal face-to-face communication is new for us, and we miss good old water cooler and coffee

Hey everyone! We just had an amazing live virtual event called Remote Facilitation Best Practices. We shared best-in-class advice, resources and best practices on how to prepare and facilitate remote work sessions, from meetings to workshops.    Here’s the Miro Board from yesterday’s event :   

Let’s talk Remote Design Sprints! This conversation is open to anyone looking to learn how to organise, prepare and facilitate a Design Sprint with distributed teams.   All levels of experience are welcome, whether you’re a versed facilitator or just starting off. Let’s learn from each other, share mistakes, lessons and become better facilitators.   Have specific questions in mind about Remote Design Sprints? Let’s talk about them ;) 

It's mid-spring, should we talk something pleasant, like User Delight? We have all experienced it: this "wow" moment, this "they already know me" feeling, an extra mile that a great product has walked to delight you. Be it Asana's unicorn, flying across your screen like a shooting star, or Trello's confetti, or Typeform's delightful microcopy—they all make a customer go "oh, coool"! “User delight refers to any positive emotional affect that a user may have when interacting with a device or interface”, says the definition. Yes, we human beings are driven by emotions! Where do these emotions lead though? Well, rumor has it, they can make your product sticky, serve your Net Promoter Score, and eventually help you fight churn. In this

We’ve been tracking all the canceled in-person conferences. What’re your thoughts on event organizers pivoting to virtual conferences?    We did this last year with Distributed 2019 and wrote up some of our learnings here: https://miro.com/blog/remote-conferences/   Has your company instituted any new work from home policies or travel bans? 

Join us on March 25th where we'll have Jeremy Pollack, Solution Principal at Slalom Consulting who will share how his team uses Miro from planning to ideation to the final product! We'll also have Iris Latour, Customer Success Manager at Miro with a presentation on how she's using Miro with a very distributed and cross-functional team to accomplish similar goals.  We will be sharing a zoom link and a link to a fantastic Miro Board the Monday before the event so make sure to RSVP!  “See” you on the board! 

Even though I work in Miro and have been using it myself daily for over 3 years now, I’m constantly looking for cool tips & tricks that can speed up my work on the boards. For example, creating new sticky notes using Cmd+D shortcut never gets old for me, and I always mention it to everyone who is just starting out with our product. I also love the linking feature, which allows me to create connections between any widgets on the board.    What are your favorite Mirohacks? 

I’m making Karma is a peer recognition and appreciation platform for businesses. Basically, we are trying to make remote work more pleasant: when colleagues say ‘thank-you’s more often, then bond better and get all sorts of emotional benefits. No one’s ever levet their job because of feeling OVERappreciated. Here at Karma, we LOVE Miro very much and admire the way it grows and develops. During one of the brainstoming sessions, the team seriously considered integrating with Miro, but we couldn’t find the relevant API for comments. Would Miro team open it up for Karma? I’ll give you a quick example on how it could work: @user comments on any board element or leaves a note: ‘@stas++ for bringing this up’ Karma gets this event and figures out that Stas has just got +1 karma from User. Karma responds to the comment/note a cool inspiring note to confirm the po

Hi there, Recently I’ve stuck upon a GitHub page dedicated to Product Management. I thought it could be a great starting point to share the best resources on the web — articles, videos, books, reports, or anything else you find valuable. Let’s go!

Hi there! I’m wondering how many of you have leveraged Miro for things like to-do lists, organizing things to do, etc.  In contrast to other options like Trello or something like Google Keep, do you use Miro for specific things in this genre? Thanks in advance for any perspective you can provide. :)

I’ve recently came across the article on effective brainstorming techniques on Medium - https://medium.com/taking-note/effective-brainstorming-techniques-c84a1158134d.  Top highlight: In any brainstorm, there’s usually a handful of people who do most of the talking, while others only pipe up when asked to share.   I wonder, what are the golden rules of brainstorming sessions for you and your team? 

Hi all! I’m a semi-newbie to Miro (in that I haven’t used it much) and would like to understand the nuances of it’s application from different people who are active users.  Could anyone point me to some recent case studies or articles where Miro was part of a project/endeavor?     It can be on Medium, a related Miro blog, LinkedIn, etc.  Doesn’t really matter. :)   Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone, here’s another recap! We had our 4th NORAM V-MUG on February 19th with Natalie Mandriko, Product Manager at WeatherBug presenting. Natalie presented a few real-world examples of Miro boards she and her design team have created in the past. These boards helped to synthesize the qualitative research and engage teams to take action.     Here are a couple of questions that were presented during this V-MUG. Would love your input: 1. One of the values of affinity diagramming in a physical space is the unspoken social queues that come from people in a space to keep things constructive. How do yo manage this dynamic in an asynchronous tool like Miro? 2. What information is most important, the volume of comments related to a particular theme, or the impact of the ideas?   If y

The Amsterdam Miro User Group in action: Thank you for the opportunity to share our favorite boards, tips & tricks, and feedback.   Would be great to hear your comments and feedback for the next MUG.

, all! As I’m sure is the case for many of you, Miro has led to fundamental improvements in my team collaboration, for the better. At Crema, it set a new standard for how quickly a tool could be adopted and loved by everyone. In this video, George Brooks and myself discuss what we love about Miro.
