7.1 Overviews and Work Modes (Circles, Projects, Compare)

Once you've combined the first roles into groups or are in the process of “building” groups, it makes sense to take a look at the following overviews:

I'll go through the numbered points again:

1. Here you can access the overview of all Circles. If you rename the list, the new name will appear here as well (e.g., “Departments”).

2. Here you can access the overview of all Projects. If you rename the list, the new name will also appear here (e.g., “Initiatives”).

3. Each list now represents a group, and at the top, you can see who (card) is in the group and with which roles (gray pills).

4. Below, you can see the meetings this group has planned.

5. At the top, you can switch between “People” (this is the view from the screenshot, where you can see who is part of each group) and “Added as”, which shows the roles assigned to each group.

6. I find this overview particularly helpful for team leads, as it’s the closest representation to a traditional org chart.

7. In the top right, you can always export the current view — as a JPG (e.g. to include in a PowerPoint) or as an XLS. If you import an XLS into Miro, each cell becomes a Post-it! This can sometimes help for reorganizing.

Compare Mode

A super practical mode when you're in a meeting with a few people or when you want to better differentiate a few roles is the Compare Mode.

1. You can find the access point here on the left.

2. Then you can either select people or skills/roles,

3. and then start up here.

4. This is what happens: You see the roles side by side and can now reorder the tasks.

If you selected a few people instead of skills/roles, you can now reorder roles – simply via drag & drop.
