Idea Drafting Template
Quickly investigate a range of concepts with the Idea Drafting Template.
About the Idea Drafting Template
The Idea Drafting Template is a tool that encourages you to tap into your innate creativity by drawing pictures to generate ideas quickly. It involves creating small, rough sketches that capture the essence of an idea or concept. These sketches are not meant to be detailed or polished but serve as a starting point for further exploration.
The sketching process stimulates a cycle of creativity that supports the development of concepts. By externalizing your thoughts through sketches and seeing them visualized, you can generate variations and continue the creative process. Sketching lets you quickly iterate on ideas, refine them, and explore new directions.
Benefits of using the template
Facilitates rapid ideation and collaboration for innovative and iterative problem-solving.
How to use the template in Miro
Review the challenge and choose a place on the board to sketch.
Round 1. Set a timer for 10 mins. Sketch three different solutions to the prompt.
Round 2. Set a timer for 10 mins. Choose the best idea, then sketch two variations.
Final round. Set a timer for 10 mins. Choose the best idea, then refine it.
If collaborating, give everyone 2 minutes to share their final sketch.
Setup
Select a subject or issue for investigation.
Gather a group of colleagues if collaborating.
Useful tips
Set a time constraint for each sketching session.
Use this approach to rapidly iterate on a fresh concept.

Collaborative Prototyping Template
Rapid prototyping quickly tests concepts and solutions with low-fidelity functional models, reducing investments by identifying issues early. The Collaborative Prototyping Template generates ideas and tests them with a framework for sharing prototypes and getting feedback.
Service Blueprinting Workshop
Works best for:
Agile
The Service Blueprinting Workshop template helps teams visualize and improve service processes. It includes ice breakers, context canvas, empathy maps, and action plans for service transitions. Use it to align teams, identify opportunities, and prototype service delivery from a macro to microscopic level, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of service orchestration and seamless collaboration. Ideal for remote and dispersed teams.
Official 5-Day Design Sprint
Works best for:
Design, Desk Research, Sprint Planning
The goal of a Design Sprint is to build and test a prototype in just five days. You'll take a small team, clear the schedule for a week, and rapidly progress from problem to tested solution using a proven step-by-step checklist. Steph Cruchon of Design Sprint created this template for Miro in collaboration with design sprint gurus at Google. This Design Sprint template is designed specifically for remote sprints so you can run productive and efficient sprints with colleagues around the world.
Design Research Template
Works best for:
UX Design, Design Thinking, Desk Research
A design research map is a grid framework showing the relationship between two key intersections in research methodologies: mindset and approach. Design research maps encourage your team or clients to develop new business strategies using generative design thinking. Originally designed by academic Liz Sanders, the framework is meant to resolve confusion or overlap between research and design methods. Whether your team is in problem-solving or problem space definition mode, using a research design template can help you consider the collective value of many unrelated practices.
Zoom Levels Template
The Zoom Level Template is a tool to examine a problem from various perspectives. For more innovative solutions, consider the issue broadly. Ascending the ladder enables you to broaden your perspective (ask, 'How might we?'). When confronted with an overly broad scope that hinders progress, descending the ladder helps narrow your focus (ask 'What if we narrowed?').
Empathy Map by Medicenjuande
Works best for:
Market Research, Research & Design
Empathy Map template provides a clear way to visualize user insights. By understanding what users think, feel, and experience, you can design products that truly resonate. This template is perfect for UX teams focused on user-centered design.
