Using Miro for Scrum
Best-in-class infinite canvas experience — the gold standard for collaborative whiteboarding with real-time multiplayer editing. When combined with Scrum, this makes Miro a strong candidate for teams who want a structured, repeatable workflow without sacrificing flexibility. Scrum works best in Miro when you leverage its core workflow features to implement the framework's key practices directly in the tool your team already lives in.
Scrum structures work into fixed-length sprints (typically 2 weeks) with defined ceremonies: sprint planning, daily standup, sprint review, and retrospective.
How to set up Scrum in Miro
Set up your project and backlog
In Miro, create a new project and use a list view filtered to "Not started" as your backlog. Add a custom field for story points. Keep the backlog sorted by priority.
Create your first sprint
Miro doesn't have a native sprint container. Create a filtered view or milestone representing the sprint window. Use a label like "Sprint 14" and filter cards by it on your board.
Configure your sprint board
Set up a board view in Miro with columns: To Do → In Progress → In Review → Done. These map directly to Scrum board stages.
Set up velocity tracking and retrospective workflow
Track velocity manually in a spreadsheet linked to your Miro workspace. After each sprint retrospective, create action items directly in the backlog with a "Retro Action" label so they're visible in sprint planning.
