Bi-Directional Connection Lines?

Darren -    this is already supported by the line format editor. See the circled areas below as they let you choose the arrowhead style for each end of a line: Kiron

Simple random number generator?

I found the following code which uses a third-party site to do this. I dropped it into an iframe widget and it works but is still a bit kludgy: <iframe src="https://www.random.org/widgets/integers/iframe.php?title=Roll+The+Dice&buttontxt=Roll&width=160&height=200&border=on&bgcolor=%23FFFFFF&txtcolor=%23777777&altbgcolor=%23CCCCFF&alttxtcolor=%23000000&defaultmin=1&defaultmax=6&fixed=on" frameborder="0" width="160" height="200" scrolling="no" longdesc="https://www.random.org/integers/"> The numbers generated by this widget come from RANDOM.ORG's true random number generator. </iframe>

Restore a Deleted Board

I’m not sure about the Business plan - for that the Miro sales staff should be able to help. We are on a Consultant plan which has been sufficient for our needs as we have subscribed to sufficient full user accounts for our core staff and are using day passes for our clients when they need to collaborate with us.

Hmmm - are you on the Free plan? That might be a limitation of that plan

Upload audio files to the boardOpen

You might be able to kludge it by converting it to a YouTube file, host it privately (i.e. don’t publish the link for search purposes) and add in the iframe reference.

Restore a Deleted Board

Have you checked the Trash can in the bottom left of the dashboard views as boards are retained for 30 days (?) after being deleted?

Restore a Deleted Board

Efrain -  Did you export a board backup or alternately create a template from the board? If yes, then it is relatively easy to bring it back to a specific state. Kiron

Simple random number generator?

The closest I’ve been able to come with my (VERY STALE) development background was to open the Developer Tools panel in Chrome, and paste this into the console “alert('You rolled a ' + (Math.floor( Math.random() * 6 ) +1));” This works, but it is a kludgy solution. My preferred option would be a simple button in the bottom bar which would pop up the alert when you click on it. I’m guessing this would take a Miro developer all of half an hour to develop & test it so hopefully this inspires one of them

Merge boards

Why not just select all the objects in one board and do a copy & paste into another? A slightly different approach would be to save one board as a template and then add it to the second one. Kiron

Track presence of the students

Different ways of setting up classroom sign-in sheets? Greetings fellow instructors! For audit purposes, we need to track who is attending our classes and which days they have attended. In physical classes, we would just use a normal paper sign-in sheet. I’ve thought of the following options in Miro but would love to hear if there’s a better method which overcomes the disadvantages I see with each: Have a simple text box-based frame or a table where folks go and type in their names for each day of the course. Very easy to implement and use but doesn’t really “prove” they attended the course on those days. Very easy to export. Use the new Notes panel and create a simple checkbox based sign-in (one box, per person per day). Looks very elegant, easy to export, but again, won’t “prove” they attended. Use comment bubbles - perhaps one comment thread per day which learners would reply into. Good from a “proof”/audit perspective, but has to be exported using a screenshot vs. Miro native expor

Has anyone tried Planning Poker in Miro?

The Poker Planning app plug in is quite functional and easy to use.   The only thing which it may not show is who voted for what size, but that is not critical as this technique is there to foster conversation within the team so once voting has been completed for a work item, there shouldn’t be a hesitation in team members sharing why they had a much lower or much higher size for the work item than others.

Zoom and Miro: best practices to combine these tools

One thing I can add to this thread is that while you can certainly jump in and out of Zoom breakout meeting rooms to see how your learners are doing, this can be disruptive to the flow of their discussions. A different way once you trust that they are gainfully working through a shared problem is to just watch their individual group Miro boards for updates and they can always use the Zoom “call for help” feature if they need your help.

Edit text size of multiple objects

I don’t know that this can be done with regular drawing shapes (e.g. circles, rectangles). It does work with the sticky notes because those are designed to provide an auto-size mode for font size. Adding auto-sizing to shapes other than the sticky notes would be a good enhancement for sure!

Agile Gaming Exercise

I’d suggest it would still be worth understanding “why” delays are occurring to come up with a good solution. For example, if the root cause is certain decision makers are now unable to dedicate as much time to their daily work because of personal commitments they now have to burden that’s a very different area to focus on than if it is increased confusion about the decision-making process itself. Given that you are indicating the risks have been realized, has any root cause analysis been done to identify why this is happening?

Agile Gaming Exercise

Sounds like a worthy use case. How would you have tackled this if there weren’t the pandemic-created restrictions? What might cause the decision making teams to take too long? Is it a question of understanding the urgency of the decision, a lack of perceived empowerment, low priority (relative to other decisions/actions) or something else? Without understanding that, it might be difficult to construct a good exercise to respond to this risk...

Accessing the template picker from the main Board menu?

@Marina - thanks for responding! I’m definitely aware of the templates library but given the nature of our courses and the types of exercises I’m creating I’m mostly creating templates from scratch. The next time I see it I will take a screenshot, but there have been times when I click on the “...” option on the template tile and get either just a Delete option, or both the Edit and Delete option. If I am able to Delete it, I should be able to Edit it as well, hence my concern. Yes, ideally having a new left-menu option in the Dashboard which will launch the template picker. The main use case is if someone is building templates and wants to manage (e.g. modify or delete) existing ones, the only way to do this is to go to an existing or new board, then select the template picker option and then do what they wanted to do. That is multiple steps which could be eliminated by having a single link to launch the template picker. Thanks again! Kiron

Agile Gaming Exercise

Thanks for the tag @Marina ! @3sConsultant , there are tons of agile games which can be adapted for virtual play. The Dot game/Coin game which teaches the benefits of a flow vs. a batch approach can be easily set up by using a set of circles and have individual learners within a team change the color of those first in a batch and then one at a time before passing them on. The Lego game can be adapted to become a drawing game. Come up with a bunch of stories for progressively more challenging drawing items, use the Kanban template to organize the stories and let the creativity and competitiveness of the teams come out. You can do a simple relative sizing game such as making a fruit salad by finding different images of fruit and having the team order them based on the relative effort needed to prepare them for a fruit salad. The key with migrating exercises from physical to virtual is to not try to do it 1:1 - think about the purpose underlying the exercise and then leverage the most cre

Meet the Community | Introduce Yourself

Hi I’m Kiron -    I’m a project management & agile instructor and have spent most of my past week and a half shifting the course exercises we normally deliver in person to Miro. I’m very impressed with the flexibility and richness of widgets, tools and apps - it will make transitioning to virtual delivery of our courses much easier than I was expecting!   Kiron
