Sketch a research roadmap on a Miro board

Build a research roadmap on a Miro board — a three-phase plan with two workstreams and the

dependencies between them, the kind a team puts up at a kickoff. Do everything in the Miro

web app (app.miro.com). About seven minutes.

1. Open app.miro.com and create a new blank board. Rename it Research Roadmap (double-click the board name, top-left).
2. With the Text tool (T), place a heading across the top: Research Roadmap — 2026, large enough to read as the title.
3. Add three Frames side by side (F), one per phase, titled:
   • Q1 · Discovery
   • Q2 · Experiments
   • Q3 · Rollout
4. This roadmap has two workstreams, told apart by sticky colour: Research (yellow) and Engineering (blue). In each frame add two sticky notes — one of each workstream — with a real work item typed on each:
   • Q1: User interviews (Research, yellow) · Data pipeline setup (Eng, blue)
   • Q2: Prototype A/B test (Research, yellow) · Model eval harness (Eng, blue)
   • Q3: Beta feedback study (Research, yellow) · Production rollout (Eng, blue)
5. Add a small legend in a corner so the colours are readable: a text box (or two small coloured shapes with labels) mapping yellow → Research and blue → Engineering.
6. Draw the dependencies — arrows between the specific sticky notes that depend on each other, across phases. Hover over a sticky note until a blue arrow handle appears on its edge, then drag from there onto the target sticky; Miro snaps the arrow to it. Draw at least these two: These arrows are the roadmap's flow — the left-to-right frames already show the phase order, so you don't need to connect the frames themselves.
   • Data pipeline setup (Q1) → Model eval harness (Q2)
   • Model eval harness (Q2) → Production rollout (Q3)
7. Add one diamond shape near the Q2/Q3 boundary and label it Go / No-Go — end Q2 — a decision milestone gating the rollout. A shape, not a sticky note.
