The word “workshop” sparks visions of creativity, collaboration, and energy — people rolling up their sleeves to build something great together. In contrast, “presentation” has completely different connotations, triggering groans and eyerolls as people imagine tired slide decks and endless droning.
Agile practices are a crucial part of agile teamwork – they’re when collaboration is in high-gear and the creative juices really flow. But with more and more agile teams doing remote or hybrid work, it can be challenging to replicate the magic that happens when you’re all gathered around a physical whiteboard with a box of shared bagels and sticky notes in tow.
This month, we have been working on some big updates to help you present your ideas in an engaging way through our new Interactive Presentation Mode. We’ve also been working behind the scenes to bring you the next big thing: Miro AI — your new launchpad for creativity, collaboration, and productivity. To see all the newest features that will help make your day a little better in Miro, here is our roundup of releases from March.
As companies have adopted more remote and hybrid models, the ways we work continue to change. Research finds that up to one-third of meetings are unnecessary, which means companies are wasting millions of dollars as workers contend with ongoing screen fatigue and burnout. Like most things in life, humans need balance, and it’s becoming apparent that teams need to be more intentional about collaboration.
Back in November at Distributed ‘22, Miro’s annual virtual conference, we teased the beta of our new presentation mode to an excited (virtual) crowd. Now, we’re excited to release it to all our users! But what is Interactive Presentation Mode and how did we build it? Keep reading to learn more.
2023 continues to be a big year for Miro, with more on the way! We kicked off this year strong by launching Miro in four new languages—Spanish, German, French, and Japanese—making it easier for you to collaborate with your global teams. We’ve also doubled down on improving agile practices to support the 86% of product development teams that use agile in their day to day.
I’m hard-pressed to think of another period in my 20-plus-year career when future readiness was a higher, more urgent priority for enterprise leadership than it is today. A multitude of disruptive forces—ranging from experimenting with generative AI to prioritizing diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and programs to implementing hybrid strategies—are coming to a head, and we can truly only speculate about what the world of work might look like a decade from now.
Miro is all about unlocking and harnessing peak creativity. That doesn’t just apply to what teams can create with Miro — but also how they use Miro in the first place. We’ve quickly learned that no two teams use Miro exactly the same way, and their most-loved features are as unique as the work they’re doing. To better understand which features teams are using again and again, we turned to members of our Enterprise Advocates program.
After connecting with Miro learners in live trainings and reading feedback on our courses, we’ve learned a lot in the past year. From experimenting with hybrid work, to improving working sessions with colleagues, to trying to get everything done more efficiently, we’ve been inspired by your hunger to work smarter.
2023 is in full swing and we’re excited to build products and features to help teams innovate and create the next big thing. This month, we introduced new ways to cluster ideas by keywords, updated our EU data residency, and more. For a deeper understanding of our new features, here is our roundup of releases from January.
