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.

RACI Matrix Template
Works best for:
Leadership, Decision Making, Org Charts
The RACI Matrix is an essential management tool that helps teams keep track of roles and responsibilities and can avoid confusion during projects. The acronym RACI stands for Responsible (the person who does the work to achieve the task and is responsible for getting the work done or decision made); Accountable (the person who is accountable for the correct and thorough completion of the task); Consulted (the people who provide information for the project and with whom there is two-way communication); Informed (the people who are kept informed of progress and with whom there is one-way communication).
Prototype Template
Works best for:
UX Design, Design Thinking
A prototype is a live mockup of your product that defines the product’s structure, user flow, and navigational details (such as buttons and menus) without committing to final details like visual design. Prototyping allows you to simulate how a user might experience your product or service, map out user contexts and task flows, create scenarios to understand personas, and collect feedback on your product. Using a prototype helps you save money by locating roadblocks early in the process. Prototypes can vary, but they generally contain a series of screens or artboards connected by arrows or links.

Competitive Analysis Template
Works best for:
Marketing, Decision Making
Developing a great product starts with knowing the lay of the land (meaning who you’re up against) and answering a few questions: Who are your competitors? How does your product or service compare? What makes you stand out? A competitive analysis will help find the answers, which can ultimately shape your product, value prop, marketing, and sales strategies. It’s a great exercise when a big business event is about to occur — like a new product release or strategic planning session.
User Persona Template
Works best for:
Marketing, Desk Research, User Experience
A user persona is a tool for representing and summarizing a target audience for your product or service that you have researched or observed. Whether you’re in content marketing, product marketing, design, or sales, you operate with a target in mind. Maybe it’s your customer or prospect. Maybe it’s someone who will benefit from your product or service. Usually, it’s a whole collection of personalities and needs that intersect in interesting ways. By distilling your knowledge about a user, you create a model for the person you hope to target: this is a persona.
Empathy Map
Works best for:
Research & Design, Market Research
The Empathy Map template helps you understand your users' needs, behaviors, and experiences. By visualizing what users think, feel, see, hear, and do, you can gain deep insights into their motivations and pain points. This template is essential for creating user-centered designs and improving customer experiences.
