Miro Basics: Guide for New Participants
Learning a new tool can be challenging, especially if you’re not confident with technology.
This template combines a brief video tutorial from Miro Academy with an icebreaker featured in the tutorial itself. The video covers just the basics and is designed for participants who are new to Miro. They’ll learn how to:
Create a sticky note
Write text on a sticky note
Hit “tab” in text edit mode to create a new sticky
Hold shift key to select multiple objects with mouse
Add an image to the board
Connect the sticky to the image
Zoom in/out of the board; move left to right
Participants will then have an opportunity to practice the skills above by applying them to the icebreaker provided!

Start, Stop, Continue Template
Works best for:
Retrospectives, Meetings, Workshops
Giving and receiving feedback can be challenging and intimidating. It’s hard to look back over a quarter or even a week and parse a set of decisions into “positive” and “negative.” The Start Stop Continue framework was created to make it easier to reflect on your team’s recent experiences. The Start Stop Continue template encourages teams to look at specific actions they should start doing, stop doing, and continue doing. Together, collaborators agree on the most important steps to be more productive and successful.
Lean Change Self-Starter Kit
Works best for:
Agile
The Lean Change Self-Starter Kit is a comprehensive resource for initiating organizational change using Lean principles. It provides tools and templates for assessing readiness, defining change objectives, and planning interventions. This template empowers change agents to navigate complexity, engage stakeholders, and drive meaningful transformation. By promoting adaptability and experimentation, the Lean Change Self-Starter Kit enables organizations to embrace change as a competitive advantage and achieve sustainable growth.
Customer Touchpoint Map Template
Works best for:
Desk Research, Product Management, Mapping
To attract and keep loyal customers, you have to truly start to understand them—their pain point, wants, and needs. A customer touchpoint map helps you gain that understanding by visualizing the path your customers follow, from signing up for a service, to using your site, to buying your product. And because no two customers are exactly alike, a CJM lets you plot out multiple pathways through your product. Soon you’ll be able to anticipate those pathways and satisfy your customers at every step.
PI Planning Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Strategic Planning, Software Development
PI planning stands for “program increment planning.” Part of a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe), PI Planning helps teams strategize toward a shared vision. In a typical PI planning session, teams get together to review a program backlog, align cross-functionally, and decide on the next steps. Many teams carry out a PI planning event every 8 to 12 weeks, but you can customize your planning schedule to fit your needs. Use PI planning to break down features, identify risks, find dependencies, and decide which stories you’re going to develop.
Lean Inception Workshop
Works best for:
Agile, Lean Methodology
The Lean Inception Workshop streamlines project kickoff by aligning teams on goals, scope, and priorities. It leverages Lean principles to eliminate waste and maximize value, guiding exercises to define user personas, map user journeys, and prioritize features. By fostering cross-functional collaboration and customer-centric thinking, this template accelerates project initiation and ensures alignment between stakeholders, empowering teams to deliver customer value faster.
Starfish Retrospective
Works best for:
Retrospectives, Agile Methodology, Meetings
The Starfish Retrospective template offers a structured approach to retrospectives using the metaphor of a starfish. It provides elements for identifying what to start, stop, continue, do more of, and do less of. This template enables teams to reflect on past iterations, identify actionable insights, and prioritize improvements. By promoting clarity and focus, the Starfish Retrospective empowers teams to drive meaningful change and continuous improvement effectively.
