Meet the Community | Introduce Yourself

Good evening from Vietnam, 
My name is Nguyen, a Biology lecturer in university. I have just used Miro for one month. I hope I can learn from the community. So great to be here!

Hi everyone!

I’m Patrice from Nantes, France.

I’m a coach and a trainer in the IT field, specialist of agility and scrum.

I use Miro since the confinement in March. Miro helps me a lot in designing adapted workshops for my remote trainings.

I’m interested in sharing my Miro experience with the community and learning from others.

Hello Miro Community, 

My name is Bill Bailey and I approve this message: No, I’ve never been involved in politics , however, I’ve been a strong advocate of the agile methodology for projects requiring a high level of uncertainty and requiring a lot of integration or creativity.  

My interest in Miro is in using Jira Cards and using it for a collaboration tool for Scaled Agile ceremonies and PI Planning. A collaborator by nature and ASPE Agile Instructor, I’m all hands on and highly technical. 

I invite anyone from the Miro community to collaborate actually get some the Miro functionality to actually work. So far, after a somewhat circuitous install process, I have Jira Cards integrated and somewhat functioning with a Cloud Jira instance.  

I have been unable to find a step-by-step video or documentation for how to use the Miro PI Planning template in conjunction with Jira, so having to figure it out step-by-step with my team.

Thanks and looking forward to our collaboration!

Hello Community!

I’m so glad to join you (from Toronto, Canada) in learning how to get the most out of Miro. 

I am still a beginner with Miro, I’ve only used it a few times. My primary use (for now) is facilitating creative ideation for an internal design team within a large financial organization.

Like many of you, now that we’re working entirely remotely, we needed to find a tool to help us connect and ideate. I really love how Miro looks and the tools seem very intuitive (and plentiful!)

I’m absolutely open to learning how you use Miro or anything related to brainstorming and ideation.

hi! 

I’m Ilja (aka Logan) a fresh, new Miro user @Amgen where I work in our Results Delivery Office. Facilitating workshops and Agile Coaching are just 2 of the things we do in our team on a daily basis. 

I’m getting up to speed with how we can use Miro best in these COVID times where most of our collaboration involves a computer screen and a camera. 

Looking forward learning from y’all. 

Hello,

My name is James, and I work as an Adjunct Professor at the Tobin College of Business at St John’s University in Queens NY.  I also work in the management consulting world, and have done for most of my career.  I am originally from the UK, but have been in the US for 12 years.

MIRO was recommended to me by a business contact at the BBC, after he had discovered that I teach.

I have recently started using MIRO for an assignment in two of my classes.  In particular, I am keen to introduce my students to new technology that might become widely used in the workplace in the “new normal”, post-COVID 19.  This is a calculated risk, as introducing new technology can distract from some of the underlying learning that you want to achieve, and I am keen not to “overload” students during this difficult period.  That said, I (obviously) believe that on balance, the risk-reward works in favor of my students - time will tell !

Best regards

James

Hi everyone,

I am a professor for undergraduate and graduate students at ITESM Mexico, This is a University known as a reference in providing a wonderful learning experience to our students. Nowadays I am practicing with my groups the use of Miro. We do have data analytics projects managed through the Agile methodology and find the tool wonderful for these purposes.

I look forward to learning and sharing our experiences in this community.

Hi everyone!

I am Jantien. I am a lecturer in interaction design from the Netherlands (Rotterdam) and I teach meanly online at the moment (it is by the way not so much ‘teaching’ but more like guiding and coaching). In workshops etc it is so very nice to work with Miro, they see each others work, it is easy to give feedback, to have discussions etc. They created, based on a prepared board, a whole virtual studio: it is a place they like to work but also hang out. 

In teaching, Miro can be a great support, and for our students who learn to be human centered ux designers it is a perfect way to learn to use all the different tools but also to learn to create their own environment. Mind you: when they come in, they mostly come from schools where they experienced a traditional way of teaching: you learn a topic, have an exam and that’s it. Teachers tell you what to do, what to learn. They are around the age of 17, 18 when they enter our school (Communication & Multimedia Design) and it is probably the first time they get answers like: ‘what would you do, what do you think, what do you want to learn, what would be your first step?” on every question they ask…. So they are asked to be curious, pro-active, self-sufficient and I think Miro helps them to become more independent, more creative, more open about how they work, more inspired by their peers. It is a great tool for how we want to teach!

Well, I wouldn't let any opportunity to post pictures of my cat pass by, so I might as well sign up for Miro. 
 

I'm Lisette. Living and working in the Netherlands as a graphic facilitator for my own company https://www.deprocescartograaf.nl 
I help visualize mission vision statements and company roadmaps and other stuff worth communicating but hard to grasp as text only. Like everyone nowadays I work mostly remote. I just discovered Miro and had my first client session 1 day later. So yeah, I love how intuitive Miro is! 
Looking forward to get more experience with it. 
As I tend to draw a lot and have a Wacom Cintiq and an iPad pro I would love to see some pressure sensitivity in Miro's pen tool. That way I could graphic record while working with clients in Miro at the same time. That's not possible right now and I really miss that. Would be so nice to have people working on frame and me drawing on another frame. 

Hello all! I’m Andrew, an independent creative based in Toronto, Canada. I help small and medium sized businesses carry their brands online. I learned about Miro in 2019 and started with the free account. I moved to the Consultant plan in April when my business went 100% virtual. The templates are fantastic, allowing me to focus on the flow of my meetings/workshops, instead of scrambling to capture all the goodness. Also - as I’ve brought on more clients - I’ve had a few hiccups with Miro, and this community has saved my (Canadian) bacon. THANK YOU! You folks rock & I look forward to connecting and contributing too!

Welcome, @Andrew Duff and greetings from Regina, Saskatchewan! /=S=/
