Elevator Pitch
Come together as a team and create a powerful Elevator Pitch with Miro’s template. Move projects forward and get your product idea funded with a killer storyline.
An elevator pitch is a brief, persuasive short description that can be used to spark interest in what your product does, who is it for and communicate its benefits. This template will guide you on how to run a workshop activity to collaboratively come up with your elevator pitch for your project.
This workshop is designed to help collaboratively gather ideas and assumptions about a new product and build a common understanding in order to align multiple stakeholders on what the product is and who it's for.
Workshop participants may include a mix of business stakeholders, customer representatives, those in charge of selling the product and development team members.
What does a good elevator pitch include?
There are a few things that a good elevator pitch should have: it must be short, take no more than 60 seconds to be read, easy to understand, have an interesting hook and convince the audience why they should use your product instead of the competitor. Remember, the elevator pitch should be enticing, and it’s the first time most people are hearing about your product, make a good first impression!
What are the 7 steps to making an elevator pitch?
The elevator pitch contains seven sections explaining your product or service briefly: who is it for, their needs, your product name, your product category, the key benefit, your direct competitors, and why you are better than them. After you come up with the answer to these sections, you can craft your elevator pitch and present it to stakeholders.

Event Brief Template
Works best for:
Meetings, Workshops, Project Planning
For most any organization, throwing a big deal event is…a big deal. An event can bring in publicity, new clients, and revenue. And planning it can require a substantial chunk of your overall resources. That’s why you’ll want to approach it like a high-stakes project, with clearly outlined goals, stakeholders, timelines, and budget. An event brief combines all of that information in a single source of truth that guides the events team, coordinator, or agency—and ensures the event is well-planned and well-executed.
Ansoff Matrix Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Operations, Strategic Planning
Keep growing. Keep scaling. Keep finding those new opportunities in new markets—and creative new ways to reach customers there. Sound like your approach? Then this template might be a great fit. An Ansoff Matrix (aka, a product or market expansion grid) is broken into four potential growth strategies: Market Penetration, Market Development, Product Development, and Diversification. When you go through each section with your team, you’ll get a clear view of your options going forward and the potential risks and rewards of each.
Mitch Lacey's Estimation Game Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Agile Methodology, Prioritization
A wordy name but a simple tool, Mitch Lacey’s Estimation Game is an effective way to rank your work tasks by size and priority — so you can decide what to tackle first. In the game, notecards represent your work items and feature ROI, business value, or other important metrics. You’ll place each in a quadrant (ranking them by size and priority) to help you order them in your upcoming schedule. The game also empowers developers and product management teams to work together and collaborate effectively.
Funding Tracker Template
Works best for:
Kanban Boards, Operations
For many organizations, especially non-profits, funding is their lifeblood—and meeting fundraising goals is a crucial part of carrying out their mission. A funding tracker gives them a powerful, easy-to-use tool for measuring their progress and staying on course. And beyond helping you visualize milestones, this template will give you an effective way to inspire the public to donate, and help you keep track of those donors. It’s especially useful when you have multiple donations coming from a variety of sources.
3 Horizons of Growth Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Strategic Planning, Project Planning
Featured in The Alchemy of Growth, this model gives ambitious companies a way to balance the present and the future—in other words, what’s working in the existing business and what emerging, possibly-profitable growth opportunities lie ahead. Then teams across the organization can make sure that their projects map to and support the organization’s goals. The 3 Horizons of Growth model is also a powerful way to foster a culture of innovation—one that values and depends on experimentation and iteration—and to identify opportunities for new business.
