Hi everyone. Glad to be here! I found Miro first via a client of mine (a Head of CX at a large brand here in the UK) and fell in love. Started using it for workshops, for diagramming UX and CX flows and more. Then it kind of blew up.

I’m a digital comms & product strategist, I work at adam&eveDDB in London where my role is “Experience Director”. I’m trying to create a world in which the beautiful, emotional communications that my colleagues make are complemented with beautiful, emotional interactive experiences that help drive deeper relationships between our clients’ brands and their consumers.

But.. in my “spare time” I’m also the Lead Programme Manager & Head Coach of Great Britain Baseball (the National Baseball team). The lightbulb moment for me was when Miro crossed over, out of my professional life and into my life outside of the day job. We use Miro in GB Baseball as our scouting board. (If you’ve seen the movie “Moneyball”, there’s that scene where they’re in the room with all the scouts and they have all the players names on the whiteboard on the wall). That’s been awesome as it’s opened up all kinds of new ways of thinking about collaboration in a Sports organization.

So yeah, that’s me! Happy to be here and pleasure to meet you all.

Hi folks!

I'm Eldar and my company decided to use miro. I'm looking for an option to automatically update KPIs within a miro board. The numbers and charts are coming from Tableau or gSheets.

Does anyone have the same requirements and/or a solution to handle it? Would be happy to chat! :slight_smile:

Hey, I’m Justin. I’m an Airtable consultant/developer, and I found Miro while trying to help one of my clients with a solution for his business. Miro looks like a really awesome tool for this particular use case, mainly because of its robust API...which I’ve run into an issue with. But that’s a topic for another thread. 🙂

Hi there, I’m Juande Santander-Vela, and I’m responsible for the Product Management group that is responsible for the features of the software that will control the hundreds of thousands of components of the SKAO telescopes; the software that will analyse the data as it comes out of the antennas; the software that allows astronomers from all over the world proposed what to do with the telescope; and many more…

We use Miro extensively to support retrospectives, our software roadmaps, use cases… and even our Solution and Program Boards during Program Increment planning are done using Miro.

Some of our colleagues created what we call the Zoom Keyhole: a package that indicates in Miro boards in which zoom room you can find a colleague. That is now an integral plan of how we do Program Increment planning, and we could not live without it, specially across two trains — and soon three.

Hi all,

 

I’m Miriam and I'm using Miro for a couple weeks now. I really like it for online facilitation. I am an Agile Coach and (Professional Scrum) Trainer and from the Netherlands. 

I hope to learn a lot and maybe even help out some of you. I love to do all sorts of crafts, read, watch series and movies and cook/BBQ.

Kind regards,

Miriam

Hi everyone! :smile:

I’m Katie Kindred; a Business Analyst, Facilitator, and content creator from North Texas.

I work in the Application Development department for a healthcare performance company. Our team focuses all around the Discovery phase of Agile development. We help the Product and Development teams have the right conversations so that they can build the right things at the right time. Knowing that the work our team does helps hospitals and other healthcare organizations work better during the pandemic makes my wonderful job even better. 

Miro is the main tool used on our team. We have used it to create slide decks, build out workshops (often multiple at a time), and stay connected through weekly touchbases. (And so much more!) I honestly can’t imagine my work or my life without Miro.

Aside from work, I love using Miro to get things out of my head and onto “paper”. Being able to put down a bunch of stickies and then group them together or find a process for them has improved my own personal productivity a lot. 

I could go on and on, but I’ll leave you with a picture of my dog.

Enjoy!

Maggie, the radiant sunflower.

Hi, I’m Peter from the Netherlands :grin::flag_ye:

I’m a UX Design trainer, helping people to get acquainted with UX Design in general and some powerful tools, like Miro ! Of course, Miro is great for doing serious brainstorming, post-ups, mapping. And I urge my students to use all kinds of Miro templates for that. But for my own work, I use a lot of customised and branded boards to let the do certain exercises.

It’s always fun to see how quickly they pick this tool up. The Public Sharing & Editing option is such a boon ! I guess it’s the best promotion for Miro. And while collaborating online on a board for the first time, they’re always stunned for a moment when I warn them to keep a safe Corona distance between their arrows...

Hello everyone Ivan here.

I’m a Cyberpsychologist and I help people to live better with their digital tools.

I work with schools and teachers, and I use my online channels to inform and train about topics such as Cyberbullying and related.

Since I work with, collect and elaborate lots (tons) of academic papers and other stuff, along with related projects, I’d like to see how it all fits with this tool.

I’m here to check if Miro may be the best solution for a visual guy like me.

Hi, everyone, my name is Jonathan and I am the Director of Innovation at Home Instead, Inc. Our innovation team just switched to Miro during the pandemic, and we love it. We used to say “How can we do our Innovation workshops virtually?” and now we say, “In-person workshops will not be as good as doing it virtually!”

The toolset is great, and has been intuitive for our guest users. I love seeing how regularly new features are being rolled out as well.

Hi, I’m Kana from Japan working at Fujitsu, my team is in charge of vision planning for digital system especially in terms of CX. 

I started using Miro since last year to find out how to organize online workshop for in-house and clients, before COVID-19 pandemic we offered offline workshops. I love Miro, very powerful, easy to use, quick improvement. I’m so exciting to discover worldwide miro board designs:art: .

 

I’m so curious about vision planning, idea creation, using design thinking to make better life.

Amy Webb, she gave online lecture at the Fujitsu conference in February 2021, impressed me a lot, so I bought her book "Signal" published in 2017, few years before though.

If you know other good methods or interesting book as for vision planning, horizon scanning, scenario planning, backcasting, please let me know! :four_leaf_clover:

I love Fuji Kaze, musician in Japan!:musical_note:

Howdy from Austin, Texas!

My name is Travis and I am a passionate Miro evangelist. My company Nautes builds innovation programs for enterprises. Prior to the global pandemic, the majority of our work was done with Post-it notes and Sharpies. At the end of last year, our largest client wanted to conduct their coaching academy remotely. I had my doubts but was up for the challenge. 

We used a combination of Miro and Microsoft teams and it was a huge success! The program was two weeks of workshops for 32 participants from Amsterdam to Singapore. Miro performed flawlessly and I was amazed by the interactivity it enabled. We were able to connect with a global audience and actually solve some of the biggest problems we were never able to address when hosting in-person events.

Miro is the perfect tool for integrating the best practices from lean manufacturing, design thinking, and agile development that we use in our methodology!

Hello, I'm Paulo Merson. I hope you're all safe and well. 

I teach software architecture at University of Brasilia in Brazil. No pets, but I'm always surrounded by wild life when I'm mountain biking. :mountain_bicyclist_tone3:

I've been using Microsoft Visio for almost 20 years. I'm now in the process of moving teaching material from Visio to Miro. In many aspects using Miro is better than Visio. However… I do very much miss a UML template in Miro (yes, there's one, but it only has the class symbol and associations). Full UML support is too much to wish for I know, but I think a frame for the UML package symbol would be a huge contribution.

Hi everyone, 

I'm a Miro enthusiast based in Sydney.

At work, we use Miro to facilitate cross-sector collaboration. It helps partners turn ideas into actions that improve services to support people experiencing vulnerability. 

While working as a content designer, I used Miro to brainstorm and plan the content calendar. 

And I also use Miro to plan and manage my side hustle, an App I'm designing in partnership with a developer. 

I look forward to learning from you all and share what I learned.

Hello everybody
My name is Pascal. I am a Secondary Level School teacher in Math, Science and Media & Informatics. I am also a PICTS (Educational ICT Support) and TICTS (Technical ICT Support) in my school.

I love Miro for different reasons! First: The students do not need a login to paticipate. Second: It is so easy to use . Third: I can use Miro in many different ways: For personal planning, getting a Feedback, organising teams, and so on…

I am happy to be part of this community and hope for many inspiration and answers.
