In 2020, I'm willing to bet that there is already a good template in existence to help you and your team solve a problem.

Often though, it can be hard to find them, so I've put together a quick list of ones I've found to help you stop deciding how to solve your problem, and just start solving it!

Design Sprints

We use a design sprint when we want to start solving a problem, as a team - fast.

• Design Sprint template for Mural
• Remote Design Sprint template for Miro

Culture

Culture doesn't happen by accident, It is designed.

• Culture Design Canvas for Mural - Map the current culture of a company or team
• Work Life Impact Play for Mural - Build empathy and identify the right kind of support through changing work experiences

Rapid Decision Making

Taking the best of the world’s problem-solving processes (Design Thinking/Gamestorming/Design Sprints/Agile) and crushing them down to their absolute essence to help you and your team solve problems. Good to use for a team retrospective too.

• Lightning Decision Jam for Mural - Make faster decisions and find quick direction

Strategy

I've found using Mural for strategy to be absolutely incredible. I don't see any plan as "set." The more you build, measure and learn, the more likely you need to adapt. Keeping strategy in an easily-updatable format I find is key.

• Vision, Mission, Strategy Values Pyramid for Mural - Align as a team

Meetings

If you can't ban them, then at least run them well.

• Planning Remote Meetings for Mural - Collect information to set the stage for future remote meetings

Warmups

Start, energise and end well, with one of these activities.

• Team Warmups and Energizers for Mural - A choice of 6 warmups to try out
• Selfie Sketch for Mural - An engaging way to start a meeting that takes 10 minutes
• Obstacle Run for Mural - Showcase how well-versed you are in Mural or learn the basics in 10 minutes
• Team Bookshelf for Mural - Connect with your team and leverage your room intelligence
