Retrospective
A retrospective (short: retro) is a team meeting with the single goal of reflecting on how to improve ways of working within the team.
A retrospective (short: retro) is a team meeting with the single goal of reflecting on how to improve ways of working within the team. This is done by identifying what worked, what didn’t, and why within a recent time period. We recommend running a Retrospective with your team every couple of weeks or at the end of a project milestone.
We have created a Miro template that you can use to run remote retro’s with your team. The template will help you and your team reflect on the most important aspects and guide the discussion towards a proactive outcome. Feel free to adapt to your needs.
The board is divided in 5 main areas:
Welcome Board: Optional reminder about the objective and do’s and don’ts of a retrospective.
A | Individual growth: Start off by talking about individual learnings and perceptions.
B | Team growth: This is the second part of the retro, where you talk about the team’s performance as a whole.
C | Open Topics: This is where you capture any left-over topics as well as next steps.
Facilitation Guides (highlighted in green): If this is your first time doing a retrospective, we’ve also included a short facilitation guide highlighted in green. We recommend deleting that, before starting the actual retro.
This template was created by Designit.

Sailboat Template
Works best for:
Agile Methodology, Meetings, Retrospectives
The Sailboat Retrospective is a low-pressure way for teams to reflect on how they handled a project. By defining your risks (the rocks), delaying issues (anchors), helping teams (wind), and the goal (land), you’ll be able to work out what you’re doing well and what you need to improve on for the next sprint. Approaching team dynamics with a sailboat metaphor helps everyone describe where they want to go together by figuring out what slows them down and what helps them reach their future goals.
PERT Chart Template
Works best for:
Mapping, Project Planning
A Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) diagram is used to plan projects efficiently. They help you set a clear timeline, plan out tasks and dependencies, and determine a critical path.
PI Planning Template

PI Planning, Product Management
The Miro PI Planning Template streamlines the Program Increment planning process for Agile teams. It facilitates a collaborative environment, enabling teams to efficiently align on strategies, identify dependencies, and convert decisions into actionable tasks. With features like real-time collaboration, Jira integration, and a centralized workspace, the template supports teams in enhancing efficiency, engagement, and decision-making.
Product Vision Statement

By defining long-term goals, market aspirations, and customer value propositions, this template aligns teams around a shared vision for success. With sections for outlining strategic objectives, guiding principles, and success metrics, it provides clarity and direction for product development efforts.

Annual Calendar Template
Works best for:
Business Management, Strategic Planning, Project Planning
Plenty of calendars help you focus on the day-to-day deadlines. With this one, it’s all about the big picture. Borrowing from the grid structure of 12-month wall calendars, this template shows you your projects, commitments, and goals one full year at a time. So you and your team can prepare to hunker down during busy periods, move things around as needed, and celebrate your progress. And getting started is so easy—just name your calendar’s color-coded streams and drag stickies onto the start date.
Sprint Planning with Jira Template
Works best for:
Sprint Planning, Agile
The Sprint Planning with Jira template in Miro is a powerful tool designed to streamline and enhance your sprint planning sessions. One of the key benefits of this template is its Jira integration, which saves time and effort when planning and aligning teams. By integrating directly with Jira, the template allows for seamless import and management of tasks, ensuring that all your Jira tickets are up-to-date and easily accessible within Miro. This reduces the need for manual updates and minimizes errors, making the planning process more efficient and effective.
