We recently challenged Miroverse members to send us their best template designs in the following categories: timelines, Gantt charts, fishbone diagrams, empathy maps, customer journey maps, service blueprints, storyboards, product roadmaps, and diagrams. And you didn’t disappoint! If you shared designs with us or voted on your favorites, thank you. You help make this community a lively and thought-provoking space.
Now, the envelope, please…
Congratulations to our Community Choice winner, Alex Wolfe, and the Miro Team winner, Johanna Torstensson!
Community Choice: Alex Wolfe’s Simple Flowchart 🏅
Tools specialist Alex Wolfe’s Simple Flowchart might have “simple” in its title, but sometimes that’s all it takes to get the job done — and be recognized as the community’s favorite template.
The Simple Flowchart is a template for diagramming things with multiple steps and/or stages, including:
- A process for new requests and how they get added to sprints
- Product releases with multiple branches to understand where and when they overlap
- Customer support tickets and escalations
By the way, this is Alex’s first template in Miroverse. Way to go, Alex!
Miro Team Choice: Johanna Torstensson’s Agile Product Roadmap 🚀🏅
Agile coach Johanna Torstensson’s Agile Product Roadmap was our team’s favorite. Why do we love it? We picked this template because it perfectly encapsulates what we’ve been evangelizing for years.
An Agile Product Roadmap is a visual representation of a product’s strategic plan, aligning a team’s efforts with broader business objectives. It acts as a guiding light, showcasing the evolution of a product over time. This template offers two distinct views: the product backlog view and the product team view.
Johanna’s description goes further by explaining how various individuals and teams benefit from this template. They include:
- Product owners, who rely on it to prioritize features, communicate the product vision, and align the team’s work with overarching business goals.
- Scrum masters, who use it to streamline sprint planning, manage workloads effectively, and keep the team focused on delivering tangible value.
- Development teams, who refer to it to gain a clear understanding of upcoming tasks and how their individual contributions fit into the bigger picture.
- Stakeholders (including executives, marketing, and sales), who stay informed about the product’s direction and upcoming releases, enabling them to align their own strategies.
- UX/UI designers, who use it to plan user research and design sprints in harmony with the product roadmap’s timeline.
- Project managers, who use it to track progress, manage risks, and ensure the development process stays on schedule.
Excellent work, Johanna!
