Business Processes in Miro

Hi All,I am new to Miro and would like to use it for Business Process Mapping. The process I am working on is quite complex and involves many teams/stakeholders, which in turn are sub-processes. Any suggestions on how to put everything on one board or use separate boards?Thanks

The 3 kinds of Product Managers/Product Owners

Hello dear Lean-Agilists!This story by Susan Stavitzski on Medium is one I often use to spark discussion among PMs and POs:https://medium.com/@susan_ski/the-three-kinds-of-product-managers-9aa398dbabd8“I like to think there’s three types of Product Managers: The technical PM, the customer centric PM and the business focused PM. You’re going to be one really well, maybe even two but never all three. If you feel like you fit strongly in one or two of those buckets, I say you go for it.”I think this holds true even for people who aren't PMs or POs (or project leaders/managers). A developer is often — and hopefully 😅 — strong on the technical side, and then they could also lean either towards UX or business. Same with UX designers: strong on user experience and maybe also business or tech. Agile coaches are often rooted in either tech (former engineers) or user experience (former UX designers).As a PM/PO, I consider myself fitting strongly in the Technical and Customer buckets but less so

Sharing a board with any Miro user (BONUS: Boards vs. Custom Templates)

After replying to multiple posts with details on how to share a board with any other Miro user, and then sharing a link to one of those replies, the time as come to write my own post on the topic. Sharing a board with any Miro userWhile paid/Education Plan team members are able to share a board by downloading the board as a .rtb file, Free Plan users are unable to upload .rtb files, so that solution will not work for everyone.The easiest way for almost* anyone registered Miro user to share a copy of a Miro board with another registered user is by sending them a link to the board and having them duplicate the board into their account.*There are a few caveats:If you are on the Enterprise Plan, the Sharing Policy must be configured to allow for public board sharing - you’ll know right away if it’s not if if you don’t have the Anyone with the link option. This method uses the Board Content Settings feature, which is only available to the board owner, and may need to be enabled for non-team

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?

Autonomy does not mean teams get to do whatever they want

Hello, dear Lean-Agilists!I recently stumbled upon an article that is almost 2 years old but still highly relevant:Failed #SquadGoalsSpotify doesn’t use “the Spotify model”and neither should you.The TL;DR version is that the Spotify model – based on matrix team structures – was never fully implemented at Spotify for a number of reasons, and yet it's being copied by many companies in various industries.A lot of things strongly resonates with me. Here are some excerpts:Autonomy requires alignment. Company priorities must be defined by leadership. Autonomy does not mean teams get to do whatever they want. Processes for cross-team collaboration must be defined. Autonomy does not mean leaving teams to self-organize every problem. Collaboration is a skill that requires knowledge and practice. Managers should not assume people have an existing comprehension of Agile practices. When a company becomes big enough, teams will need dedicated support to guide planning within the team and structure
