Hello, at my job, we use Miro during Agile planning. The board is Huge with many teams. Of course, my team's portion of the board is all the way to the right, athe "the end" of the board. On the far left, is a Program Board where I need to adjust stickies too. Is there a way to add a bookmark at each end so that I can jump back and forth from each end of the board?
You can right click on objects and there should be an option to copy a link. This link will move you to that object on the board. So after copying the link, add this link on the opposite side of your board so you can click to be taken to the other side. You can also link to frames which I think would be a better way to jump to something at the proper zoom level. One trick you can use links like this for is to set the starting view for the board to an overview section and then have links to jump to the right places from there. This can be a better way to orient someone new to a board instead of just dropping them to a random place or a zoom out of the whole board.
Is Miro suppose to replace collaborating in front of a whiteboard at work while Explain Everything is suppose to replace collaborating in front of a whiteboard or chalkboard at school? If that is the case then neither is meant for at home use to manage everyday life?
Can you elaborate on what you mean by managing everyday life? Maybe I can offer better tips if you let me know what you are hoping to use it for. I've found Miro useful for personal/home use. Free accounts I think allow 3 boards. Miro is good for an unbounded space to work on something that you haven't put any order or structure to. You can throw up stickies, pictures, etc and then cluster or organize them to see patterns. It's also nice to be able to see everything in a spatial way help make sense of things. For home use once you get to that point of getting some order to whatever problem you're trying to sort out you might be better served with another tool (like Notion) to track details or todos unless you want to keep things on a big board. Personal use things Miro can be good for: - Moodboards for planning a home remodel or a website design - Organizing information for a report, piece of writing, or project you're working on - Mind mapping something you're trying to explore - Personal do-todos if you want a more visual board or have lots of visual things to put on your board (if you're just doing simple todos I'd suggest something else like Trello, Todoist, Notion, etc)
@@DavidMathew82 If you look at the pricing plans for Miro it looks like it is meant for business purposes or even educational purposes. We can use it for home/personal use but it looks like the intent is to replace a chalkboard and whiteboard for remote learning and remote working. So in order to replace buying paper and pen for making lists throughout the year or getting thoughts out of our head or making a vision board is Miro the best option? Is using a whiteboard app the best option or is using a document app the better option for replacing paper and pen?
@@Patrick76399 You're right in that it's generally targeted toward business or educational use cases, that's where the big consistent revenue is at for them as a company. I reach for Miro as a tool when I need that expansive canvas to think (replacing a big whiteboard) and for collaborative activities (as a replacement for workshop activities). Currently for my personal stuff I use Notion, which is more like a wiki, you an easily write and categorize pages. Notion also has databases built in so you can do really powerful things such as create a to-dos database and then show a specific filtered version of this as a list or a calendar embedded on another page. That said Notion is good for basic writing and to-dos but can do a lot more advanced stuff. I hope to make some Notion content on this channel at some point but for now I'd recommend checking out Marie Poulin's channel on TH-cam. If you want to go deep on a Notion system "life operating system" check out August Bradley's TH-cam channel (he has a playlist that is hours long step-by-step building out a system in notion to manage your whole life, he also now has a course). Also check out "Building a Second Brain" by Tiago Forte If you want something free but similar look into the tool Obsidian, I have not used it much but it has similar features to Notion but runs locally instead of being cloud based and it's free. You could likely apply the techniques from Marie and August's in Obsidian as well. If you get into Obsidian check out the Linking Your Thinking TH-cam channel. There's also the option of going deeper on pen and paper, which works better for a lot of people. For that I recommend Matt Ragland's channel on bullet journaling and Doug Neill's Verbal to Visual channel to learn more about sketch noting to help spice up your notes. Hope this helps, happy to answer more questions if you have them! Thanks for watching the channel and for interacting! If you have any suggestions for future content I can make feel free to comment with that as well, I keep a list of ideas and plan to start publishing much more frequently in the near future.
What tips do YOU have for navigating your Miro boards? What additional topics would you like me to cover in future videos?
Such a hardworking person. I hope you get 10k sometime :-)

@@DavidMathew82 OMG, thank you! Makes life so much easier when your team is in the last train of a large Agile Team. :)
