Agility is critical in Agile product management. It’s right there in the name. Teams need to be able to align on plans and priorities, execute at speed and scale, and then be able to adapt in-flight as situations and priorities evolve. To make that possible, Agile teams need visual product roadmaps.

Sprints get all the attention in Agile project management, and with good reason. That’s when all the work gets done. Ideas become features, and features converge into products. But there’s a step before the Sprint that makes this all possible: the backlog refinement meeting. Below, we’ll explore the unsung hero that is the backlog refinement meeting, and offer some insights into how to make yours successful.

As the world slowed down to celebrate the holidays, the Miro Community came together for a season of creativity, reflection, and inspiration! We’re so grateful for the amazing energy you brought to Miroverse during these quieter months. Over December and January, we added more than 400 templates to the Miroverse gallery and wrapped up the Calendar Templates Challenge with over 20 incredible submissions. What a way to kick off the new year!

After first connecting at an Agile training course in Malta, we made a deal to form a learning organization for two to drive our personal development.

We managed to stick to it, publishing more than 52 posts in that first year.
