Teams | Collaboration | Customer Service | Project Management

Product teams have had a front row seat to AI transformation in recent years as AI democratizes craft across functions and dramatically compresses workflows, especially during the delivery phase of the innovation loop. Amid these shifts, product leaders are reimaging how their teams operate to deliver outsized impact in the AI era. And at Miro, we’ve been working with these teams to help ensure they thrive during this transformative time.

Miro’s “Working Backwards” Blueprint helps teams flip how they build products. Instead of leading with tech, we start with the customer experience and work backward to what we’ll ship. This Blueprint offers a structured approach for defining customer problems, aligning on solutions, and creating compelling product visions through the PRFAQ (Press Release / Frequently Asked Questions) methodology.

That’s a wrap! Hundreds of leaders, innovators, and creators joined us in Brooklyn — with tens of thousands more online — for our biggest Canvas yet, where they discovered new ways for AI and teams to work together. Let’s take a closer look at ten products we highlighted at the event that deliver on that promise.

Miroverse templates published over the summer didn’t disappoint. The Eco Meme Tournament, Taylor Swift Retrospective, or What Cat Are You? Meme Game–you name it! The Miro Community’s creativity has been on fire this season, resulting in an impressive 354 new templates added over June, July, and August! Big shout-out to all the Creators, as the competition was fierce with this number of templates!

IT leaders find themselves in a tough spot. Senior stakeholders want to cut costs and reduce risks. But employees are sprinting towards new technologies like AI, leaving compliance departments in the dust. “The curiosity is huge,” said Miro’s Bram Jonker in a recent webinar on tool consolidation with Forrester VP and principal analyst Bobby Cameron. “They want to make use of the latest tools that are out there that everyone is talking about,” he continued.

Budget season is just around the corner, which means IT leaders are about to take a long, hard look at their vendors and wonder whether they really need all those tools. In fact, according to the latest research, 82% of enterprises are actively pursuing supplier reduction to cut overlaps and simplify management. But will they be successful? If it seems like an obvious question, the answer is far from simple. For one thing, definitions of success vary.

Great work doesn’t come out of nowhere — it builds on what came before. Your team’s research insights, brainstorm notes, and workshop outcomes all bring value to the table. That shouldn’t vanish every time you switch tools or start working on something new. This month’s Miro updates carry your thinking forward.

We’ve teamed up with Adobe to bring powerful visual editing into the heart of your collaborative workflows. With Adobe Express now integrated in Miro, you can plan, brainstorm, and design—all in one place. This partnership gives teams the creative tools they need, right where collaboration happens. No more bouncing between apps, waiting on file transfers, or losing momentum. This launch marks the beginning of a shared vision between Miro and Adobe to redefine how teams create together.

Create with AI understands your teamwork on the canvas. So instead of switching between tools and copying over critical context to create great prompts, you get ahead in one place with a smart collaborator that’s already thinking what you’re thinking.

Traditional IT planning focuses on the cost-cutting benefits of tool consolidation.
