Hey @Pau Todó, great question! I want to share a part of the blog post on our rebranding:

So, how did we land on Miro as our new name? Our main source of inspiration came from the Spanish painter and sculptor Joan Miró. His work was iconoclastic. It fundamentally challenged the status quo, existing beliefs and norms, and ultimately pushed people out of their comfort zone. Not only are we inspired by these ideals, but we felt that his surrealist and abstract style aligned with how people and teams use our platform, where every board is unique, ideas are expressed brilliantly through different colors and shapes, and how it has become a place where people express themselves and their ideas in very meaningful ways.

We also saw a thematic alignment with the changing world of work and his challenging nature. By moving away from a traditional style, Miró introduced a new way of understanding the world. We are disrupting the way people work, how they collaborate, and even how they interact with the world around them. We enable teams to do things differently, unlocking a lot of human potential along the way.

Of course, Miró’s work is known for being colorful and abstract. We saw an opportunity to build a brand that is full of colorful visuals and lets us explore the subjectivity of communication, collaboration and understanding. Different roles and teams speak different “languages” – and we aim to dissolve that challenge by creating a space where understanding and work can happen, and where a new unified, and unique visual language can be created and understood by everyone.

Aside from the direct inspiration of the artist, the word “Miro” has other interesting associations: the connotations of “mirror”, “look”, and “watch” can speak to the reflection, consideration, and visual aspect of what we do to help teams bring their ideas to life.

Miro also comes from the Slavic root word “mir,” meaning “peace, world.” For us, this is a nod to our company’s origin. It’s also symbolic of our ability to connect teams across the world and speaks to the peace of mind they get working together effectively.

Cool! Many thanks for sharing this - I was totally unaware of this. Tweeted! :P

Hi everyone!

 

I’ve been a long-time Miro user, but for some reason am extremely late to the community party. I am a design strategist in a scholarly communications research incubator called Greenhouse Studios, which is part of the University of Connecticut in the United States. (If you follow NCAA basketball, you should know about UConn….Go Huskies!)

 

I wear a lot of hats in my role, but the most relevant one here is design thinking facilitator. I am currently part of an NEH-funded institute called NetWorkLab, in which we teach remote collaboration for digital humanists. I am a HUGE Miro evangelist and I teach/facilitate with it often, both as the venue for my content and as the subject of my lessons.

 

My background is much more rooted in art & design than it is in scholarly communications and digital humanities, but I have really enjoyed working an academia and in this role that I have been really lucky to shape over the last 6+ years. I get to mentor a ton of students, and I love that equally.

 

Outside of my professional role, I am also a parent, wife, avid equestrian, and I run a boutique creative studio centered around the equestrian community. Glad to e-meet you all!

Dear all: My name is Michael and I got to know Miro during the Corona lockdown. I work as a teacher at a vocational college, and Miro has enabled me to teach online with an educational account. Recently, I was looking for a tool that allows one to flexibly and freely display everything one wants. Actually, I am a pastor - and I am currently transitioning professionally to become a consultant for organizations and church communities. Such processes also need to be visualized at times. That’s when I thought of Miro - and I created my first private account. I am looking forward to discovering what all is possible.

And - yes. There is a dog here too.

Hello, I am Onose Ogaga from Nigeria, I want to know what to do to start the Miro community in my country, Nigeria. Thank you.

Onose Ogaga

Hello @mlanders, I am Onose ogaga, I am the founder of WittyHub in Effurun, Nigeria and I am a tech promoter in my country too. Well for the records, am new to Miro but I see it as a platform that will aid corporate remote collaboration, I got to know about Miro via searching online and since there Miro has no community in my country, I felt I should take it upon myself to start it in Nigeria for us to learn more and grow a community around it. So if there is any support you or Miro can give, please do let’s get it rolling in my country Nigeria. Thank you

Hello community and fellow facilitators, conversation designers, Miro fans 🙋‍♀️ 

Facilitation and workshops are my passion and my profession - I host a weekly podcast called ‘workshops work’ for which I have interviewed more than 150 guests on what it is that makes workshops work … And despite all these hours, I still enjoy geeking out on facilitation methods, techniques, group dynamics and facilitation mindset.

I host a facilitation community that we call NeverDoneBefore to explore the edges of our profession and craft, to play with what-ifs and who-migh-we, to support each other, grow and play together. 

In a nutshell, I believe that we can change the world, one workshop at a time 🚀 And if our world leaders would use tools like Miro and master facilitation skills as much as they master negotiation and rhetoric, this better world would be right around the corner.

In the meantime, the world needs us - facilitators! Together we can.

I am looking forward to meeting you and learning with and from you 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to the Miro Community @Myriam Hadnes! I am so passionate about making remote workshops better, too! Would be really curious to learn more about your process and see your workshop templates in Miroverse!

Hello all!

Very excited to be in this community because I fell in love with Miro ever since I got introduced to it.

And what I do now is closely related because we integrate with Miro!

I run a company called Toasty <https://toasty.ai/> and what we believe in is that there is a lot of room for better collaboration experience virtually and so we go out to solve it- from planning, to collaborating, to summarizing. It should be rewarding and easy to collaborate online.

So here I am, looking to learn from everyone else. Cheers :)

Hello Miro Community! 👋🏼

 

I’m Rach, a Success Coach for Trainual. Miro is one of my favorite tools at work! The collab, design, function, features → just Boss for project management. Looking forward to contributing to the community.

 

Happy Day Everyone! 🎉

 

Rach 

We use Trainual!! Such a cool asset to have. We have “Trainual Days” on the first Friday of every month. Our company is growing rapidly, so we needed to take a day for everyone to focus on creating Trainuals so that we can expand and grow with the necessary assets and resources for each Pack (we call our teams “Packs” since we’re so dog focused lol).

Hi everyone,

 

My name is Tim Herbig and I’m a Product Management Coach and Consultant based in Germany (but working with clients all over Europe).

 

I use Miro for a variety of topics. Here are few:

  • Crafting my business strategy and OKR
  • Structuring Product Discoveries of my own topics and teams I’m working with
  • Creating templates (like Impact Mapping) for product teams to support outcome-thinking
  • To run remote workshops
  • To make talks and conference sessions interactive (see an example here: 
  • To structure and run fully remote meetups (more on that soon!)

I’m really looking forward to sharing what I’m learning with the community here and learn how others make the most of Miro.

 

Cheers!

Tim @herbigt: I’d love to hear more about your interactive sessions and Miro - we’re piloting Project Management training in 2020 and would love some ideas on the interactions your using.

Looking forward to becoming part of the Miro community.   Our team uses Miro for our Agile retrospectives and I am constantly introducing ways we can use Miro to plan our work.   Each time I suggest something, I am subject to strong resistance.  Then when we try it, they love it.   I use if personally for planning my outside of work activities and brainstorming my goals.  Love the mind map and ability to create flow charts.

I am a failed retiree Project Manager / Scrum Master / Product Owner.  Back to work full time since I retired in 2015. Enjoying Miro Academy and learning more about Miro. 

Nah, you don’t fail at retiring! You just find something new!

Hello! I run an academic lab and have been trying out a few diagramming apps that the entire team can use to collaborate on, Miro of course, but also Figma/Figjam, LucidChart and so on.

I’m definitely seeing some limitations though, coming from Illustrator. 

  1. The grid snapping experience is not productive. It’s more like a weak snap. When making shape adjustments (sizing, etc.) and you’re close to the grid, you can snap to it but if you’re outside some threshold, it is possible to adjust an edge so that it sits in between the grid. I want to snap to the grid all the time (when snapping is enabled).
  2. Lines/connectors don’t seem to follow the grid snapping behavior at all. What’s happening here?
  3. Can’t seem to adjust corner rounding in shapes and corners of lines.
  4. One of the biggest draws for me was the use case for circuit diagrams here: https://miro.com/diagramming/circuit-diagram/
    But I can’t find any circuit libraries or anything of the sort. Tried searching for people asking about this, seems I might be the only one. Is there some template out there or library that does circuits?
  5. In short, Miro seems great when I want to make straight forward flowchart or diagram. But when I need to do some vector style drawing, it seems to fall short. I’d be happy to be proven wrong though!

Hello, Miro Team of Experts!

Ethel here.  I am a Global Continuous Improvement Black Belt.  Just want to share how much I appreciate how Miro makes collaboration sooooo much easier and more productive for me and my global team.  I am based in California and the rest of my team are in Europe!  While they sleep I work and share my input and vice-versa! 

 

The Talktrack feature is also AMAZING for report outs if a team member is not able to attend.

When I use to work for a different company, I used to be one of the original Miroverse members.  Thanks for the swag, btw!  How do I get reinstated and how can I change my account email?

Keep up the great work! 

Best,

Ethel

Looking forward for cool topics and conversations here!

Best, Deniz <3

Hello community members, nice to "meet” you. I'm currently an RTE working in the Netherlands. I worked with Miro as facilitator a lot. Like how you can enable collaboration in online meetings. Now trying to master the Azure links and widgets.

Kind regards
