About the Project Review Template
Getting everyone on the same page during a project review can feel like a monumental task. When your team is moving fast, it’s easy for important context to get lost, leading to unfocused feedback and misaligned stakeholders. The Project Review template brings structure and clarity to your presentations, creating a shared space for your team to showcase their work, gather feedback, and make decisions with confidence. In Miro's innovation workspace, you can collaborate on the review in real-time or async, ensuring everyone has a voice.
How to use the Project Review template
Start with the problem. Begin by filling in the project name, author names, and date. Then, clearly define the problem you're solving. Use the dedicated sections to state your hypothesis with the "By doing [these actions] for [these users], then [this will happen]" framework and explain the "Why" and "Why Now" of the project. This grounds the conversation in a shared purpose.
Showcase your solution. With the problem established, walk your team through the proposed solution in the dedicated "Solution & options considered" section. Outline the different options you considered and the key performance indicators (KPIs) you'll use to measure success. This is where you connect your work to tangible outcomes.
Define your next steps. Clearly outline the high-level plan using the built-in timeline view. Populate the task table with key items, including their description, status, priority, and time estimate. Use this space to also capture open questions and concerns from the team, ensuring everyone feels heard and is aligned on the path forward.
Create an instant summary. Use the built-in Miro AI feature in the "AI Summary" section to generate a summary of the key decisions and takeaways from your review. This creates an instant artifact that you can share to keep everyone informed.
Why use the Project Review template?
Drive clear and focused communication. The template's structured flow ensures that you tell a coherent story, helping your audience follow along and provide more relevant, actionable feedback.
Build shared confidence. By presenting a clear narrative from problem to solution, you build trust and confidence among your team and stakeholders, creating strong buy-in for your project direction.
Align on a single source of truth. Consolidate your entire review process on one board. This creates a living document that your team can refer back to, ensuring everyone is working from the same information.
