Planning templates

Simple Project Plan Template

A simple project is a North Star for your team, helping them answer any big questions about the project. The project plan should describe the nature of the plan, why you’re doing it, how you’ll make it happen, how you’ll carry out each step of the process, and how long each step is projected to take. If you’re a project manager or team lead, use this template to start a simple project plan, which can then be adapted to suit internal team projects or external client partner projects.

RAID Log Template

Use the RAID Log template to better understand potential risks, assumptions, issues, and dependencies relating to an upcoming project. With this information, you can make effective contingency plans and prepare your resources accordingly. You’ll know what could go wrong throughout the project and how to fix the problem.

T-Chart Template

T-Charts can help you compare and contrast two different ideas, group information into different categories, and prove a change through “before” and “after” analysis. T-Charts are visual organizational tools that enable you to compare ideas, so you can evaluate pros and cons, facts and opinions, strengths and weaknesses, or big-picture views versus specific details. Designers and content creators can use T-Charts to turn possibilities into actionable ideas. T-Charts are useful for discussing differences and similarities with your team or clients and can help you to reach a decision together.

4 L's Retrospective Template

So you just completed a sprint. Teams busted their humps and emotions ran high. Now take a clear-eyed look back and grade the sprint honestly—what worked, what didn’t, and what can be improved. This approach (4Ls stand for liked, learned, lacked, and longed for) is an invaluable way to remove the emotion and look at the process critically. That’s how you can build trust, improve morale, and increase engagement—as well as make adjustments to be more productive and successful in the future.

OODA Loop Template

The OODA Loop template helps optimize decision-making processes by using four key stages- Observe, Orient, Decide, and Act. Its well-structured layout allows teams to systematically break down complex decisions, leading to a shared understanding of the decision-making workflow. One of the key benefits of the template is its ability to enhance collaboration. Teams can seamlessly contribute to and iterate upon the decision-making cycle in real time, resulting in more informed decisions and a more efficient process. The template provides a clear and visual representation of each stage, accelerating the decision-making process and fostering a collaborative environment where teams can work together to navigate challenges and make well-informed decisions.

Research Plan Template

A research plan template helps you organize and execute user research projects from start to finish. It captures everything from research objectives and methodology to participant details and success criteria in one collaborative space. Instead of juggling scattered documents, emails, and spreadsheets, this template creates a single source of truth that keeps your entire research team aligned and stakeholders informed throughout the process.

Vision Board Template

Miro's Vision Board Template helps teams to bring their vision to life. From visual representation to real time collaboration, this template facilitates planning, execution, and achievement of any project's goals.

Production Workflow Template

Whether you’re producing a podcast, a marketing campaign, a TV show, or a piece of content, establishing a production workflow is crucial. A production workflow creates a visual guide to the different steps in a process. It can be used to train new team members or give a high-level overview to stakeholders. Although production workflows vary by team and business, they generally contain information about who the stakeholders are, how you brainstorm ideas, what your timeline looks like, and what resources you need to succeed.

Project Review Template

The Intelligent Project Review Template in Miro is a game-changer for project management. It combines AI-driven insights with interactive features to streamline the review process, making it more efficient and collaborative.

Feature Planning Template

Features are what make a product or service fun, but adding new ones is no walk in the park. It takes many steps—ideating, designing, refining, building, testing, launching, and promoting—and just as many stakeholders. Feature Planning lets you put a smooth, sturdy process in place, so you can add a feature successfully, and spend less time and resources doing it. That makes our Feature Planning Template a smart starting point for anyone looking to add new product features, especially members of product, engineering, marketing, and sales teams.
