How to use the canvas playground template
The canvas playground template is structured into several key sections, each designed to showcase different features of Miro's Intelligent Canvas:
Intelligent widgets
The intelligent widgets section includes several tools designed to enhance collaboration and decision-making:
Poll widget: This widget allows you to create and embed survey questions directly onto your boards. You can enter your survey question and answer options, then start the poll to enable voting. Once the poll is complete, results will be displayed on the board.
Dot vote widget: This widget facilitates voting during meetings. Team members can drag and drop dots onto sticky notes or cards to cast their votes. The dots will move with the objects they are attached to, making it easy to rearrange without losing votes.
Story point widget: Ideal for sprint planning, this widget lets team members vote on story points for tasks or projects. Similar to the dot vote widget, story points can be dragged and dropped onto cards or sticky notes, and they will update the relevant fields automatically.
People widget: This widget helps you add team members to objects on your canvas. You can drag a team member's avatar onto a task or card to assign it to them. The widget shows logged-in users who are active on the board and allows you to search for and pin anyone in your organization.
Timeline widget: This widget enables you to create detailed project timelines. You can add tasks, set deadlines, and visualize the project flow, helping you keep track of progress and deadlines.
AI Sidekicks
AI Sidekicks are AI companions designed to assist with various tasks on the canvas. They can provide expert advice, generate next steps or to-do lists, and offer feedback on content clarity and conciseness. AI Sidekicks can be invoked from a button in a template and will appear on the board as participants, completing predefined jobs like adding comments or writing documents.
Create with AI
The "Create with AI" section allows you to leverage AI-powered tools to generate content, organize ideas, and automate tasks. You can use AI to synthesize data from workshops, perform market research analysis, and generate summaries of user research or competitive analysis. This section is designed to enhance productivity and creativity by automating repetitive tasks and providing intelligent suggestions.

Quick Retrospective Template
Works best for:
Education, Retrospectives, Meetings
A retrospective template empowers you to run insightful meetings, take stock of your work, and iterate effectively. The term “retrospective” has gained popularity over the more common “debriefing” and “post-mortem,” since it’s more value-neutral than the other terms. Some teams refer to these meetings as “sprint retrospectives” or “iteration retrospectives,” “agile retrospectives” or “iteration retrospectives.” Whether you are a scrum team, using the agile methodology, or doing a specific type of retrospective (e.g. a mad, sad, glad retrospective), the goals are generally the same: discovering what went well, identifying the root cause of problems you had, and finding ways to do better in the next iteration.
Starfish Retrospective
Works best for:
Retrospectives, Agile Methodology, Meetings
The Starfish Retrospective template offers a structured approach to retrospectives using the metaphor of a starfish. It provides elements for identifying what to start, stop, continue, do more of, and do less of. This template enables teams to reflect on past iterations, identify actionable insights, and prioritize improvements. By promoting clarity and focus, the Starfish Retrospective empowers teams to drive meaningful change and continuous improvement effectively.

Fibonacci Scale Template

Based on the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the summation of the two previous numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc.), this template can help you build timelines like a champ—by helping make sure that work is distributed evenly and that everyone is accurate when estimating the work and time involved in a project.
