Reframe Expert Round-ups bring together some of the leading voices reshaping agency and consulting in the age of AI. Each month we tackle one of the industry’s most charged questions and ask our guest experts to give their honest, unfiltered takes. We aren’t here to give you identical, PR-polished, best practice answers. We’re here to help you navigate the messy middle – including the good, the bad and the ugly.

For years, I ran quarterly planning sessions with the teams I worked with including founders, product managers, and team leads. These were smart people who genuinely wanted to get the next quarter right. Every time, the same thing happened — weeks of back and forth, too many opinions, and too many priorities competing for the top spot. By the time everyone agreed, the list had 10 or more goals that nobody fully owned.

In May 2026, our community published 100 new templates to Miroverse. New workflows now available to you and your teams include strategic planning frameworks and AI-first startup canvases, team rituals, reconciliation action planning tools, and a wave of AI-powered ideation resources. Below, you’ll find the top templates and creators from May 2026 — plus an AI workflow spotlight and our favorite social post of the month.

Ask anyone on your team how AI is going and you will hear some version of the same sentence: “What used to take me a week now takes an hour.” It is the kind of thing that makes a leader feel the bet is paying off. The work really is faster, and the proof shows up every month on the token bill. People are not imagining the speed. A recent METR study of experienced developers found they believed AI had made them about twenty percent faster. Anecdotally, I see people moving much faster.

Earlier this month, Miro hosted Canvas 26 at London’s Tobacco Dock. During the event, I hosted a design leadership panel, bringing together leading voices from the industry to share their thoughts on how the advent of AI is changing the face of design.

“AI is everywhere. Alignment’s not.”

In Gartner’s evaluation framework for enterprise AI assistants, Microsoft Copilot sits in the “Foundational Capability” tier. It drafts, summarizes, generates, and searches across Microsoft 365, making individuals faster at a scale few tools can match. Foundational is exactly right — it’s the layer everything else builds on. What unlocks the next level is turning that individual speed into organizational alignment.

If you want to get a feel for the future of product development, one of the best places to look is NYU Stern’s Tech MBA program. This is where the next generation of PMs cut their teeth, so a few months ago we reached out to one of the program’s lead professors with a question: What if we pointed the students at some of the biggest problems in New York — from grocery prices and transit equity to bike lane safety and childcare — and gave them one day to build a solution that worked?

At its recent Digital Workplace Summit in London, Gartner revealed that by 2027, at least 60% of AI initiatives will fail to meet expectations with change resistance, not technology, the primary cause. The source of that resistance is well documented.

Mia Pendergast is a product manager at The Home Depot. During the Miro AI Build Sprint, she built a three-step Flow that turns sticky-note feedback into a clickable prototype, and two-week design reviews into a single meeting. Here’s how she built it, and a template you can try. As a PM at The Home Depot, I know that design reviews can drag on for weeks.
