Miro Basics: Guide for New Participants
Learning a new tool can be challenging, especially if you’re not confident with technology.
This template combines a brief video tutorial from Miro Academy with an icebreaker featured in the tutorial itself. The video covers just the basics and is designed for participants who are new to Miro. They’ll learn how to:
Create a sticky note
Write text on a sticky note
Hit “tab” in text edit mode to create a new sticky
Hold shift key to select multiple objects with mouse
Add an image to the board
Connect the sticky to the image
Zoom in/out of the board; move left to right
Participants will then have an opportunity to practice the skills above by applying them to the icebreaker provided!

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.
