Join AJ&Smart Facilitator Amr, as he dives into The Note & Vote Micro Workshop. The Note & Vote Micro Workshop is extremely simple & short (10-15 mins) — which makes it perfect for beginners who want to run a remote workshop for the first time.

‘Note’ and ‘Vote’ are two exercises that are at the core of every great workshop, and they can be applied to so many situations to help you collaborate on answering any question, prioritize challenges, and ideate solutions.

1. Word-by-word script of what to say during the workshop.
2. Miro template to run the workshop on.
3. Miro basics video for new participants
4. Miro basics video for workshop facilitators

Just finding your videos for the first time. I am new to Miro and feel like I have a much better strategy on how to get ideas out of folks thanks to this video. Plan on find more of your videos to help! TY

Hi :) Do you find that there can be valuable context missing to understand the value of the individual ideas to be voted on by not discussing the stickies? Do you ever combine this method, but with opportunity for a bit of explanation around the sticky point?
