About the Pass the Paper Template
Collaborative brainstorming is a highly effective method of generating innovative ideas by bringing together people with diverse backgrounds and perspectives. This approach encourages participants to build upon each other's ideas, leading to rapid evolution and unexpected transformations. The process is often referred to as Round Robin, where each person contributes their unique perspective, and the group works together to create a collection of ideas that surpasses the imagination of any individual.
During the collaborative brainstorming, participants are encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas freely, without fear of judgment or criticism. This creates a safe and supportive environment that fosters creativity and innovation. As the group works together, they build upon each other's ideas, leading to new and exciting concepts that may not have been possible without the collective effort.

Website Flowchart Template
Works best for:
Flowcharts, Mapping, User Experience
A website flowchart, also known as a sitemap, maps out the structure and complexity of any current or future website. The flowchart can also help your team identify knowledge gaps for future content. When you’re building a website, you want to ensure that each piece of content gives users accurate research results based on keywords associated with your web content. Product, UX, and content teams can use flowcharts or sitemaps to understand everything contained in a website, and plan to add or restructure content to improve a website’s user experience.
Low-Fidelity Prototype Template
Works best for:
Design, Desk Research, Wireframes
Low fidelity prototypes serve as practical early visions of your product or service. These simple prototypes share only a few features with the final product. They are best for testing broad concepts and validating ideas. Low fidelity prototypes help product and UX teams study product or service functionality by focusing on rapid iteration and user testing to inform future designs. The focus on sketching and mapping out content, menus, and user flow allows both designers and non-designers to participate in the design and ideation process. Instead of producing linked interactive screens, low fidelity prototypes focus on insights about user needs, designer vision, and alignment of stakeholder goals.
Official 5-Day Design Sprint
Works best for:
Design, Desk Research, Sprint Planning
The goal of a Design Sprint is to build and test a prototype in just five days. You'll take a small team, clear the schedule for a week, and rapidly progress from problem to tested solution using a proven step-by-step checklist. Steph Cruchon of Design Sprint created this template for Miro in collaboration with design sprint gurus at Google. This Design Sprint template is designed specifically for remote sprints so you can run productive and efficient sprints with colleagues around the world.
Design Sprint Kit Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, UX Design, Sprint Planning
With the right focused and strategic approach, five days is all it takes to address your biggest product challenges. That’s the thinking behind Design Sprint methodology. Created by Tanya Junell of Blue Label Labs, this Design Sprint Kit provides a set of lightweight templates that support the Design Sprint’s collaborative activities and voting—and maintains the energy, team spirit, and momentum that was sparked in the session. Virtual sprint supplies and prepared whiteboards make this kit especially useful for remote Design Sprint Facilitators.
Empathy Map Canvas
Works best for:
Market Research, Research & Design
The Empathy Map Canvas is a versatile tool for visualizing user behavior and emotions. It helps teams capture insights about what users see, hear, think, and feel. Use this template to build empathy and ensure your product meets real user needs.
Research Template
Works best for:
Education, Desk Research, Product Management
Teams often need to document findings from usability testing sessions and customer interviews into a systematic, flexible user research template. Collecting everyone’s observations into a centralized location makes it easier to share insights company-wide and suggest new features based on user needs. Research templates can be used to record quantitative or qualitative data.. When it’s your job to ask questions, take notes, learn more about your user, and test iteratively, a Research Template can help you validate your assumptions, find similarities across different users, and articulate their mental models, needs, and goals.
