Discovery Miro Templates

December 2025
·
Ruben Cardoso

As we strive for excellence and consistency in every client engagement, utilising standardised tools and frameworks is crucial. That’s why we’ve built a growing library of custom, Fabric Group templates directly into Miro.

These templates ensure that every discovery, research, and planning session we run adheres to our best practices and delivers consistent quality.

🔎 How to Access the Fabric Group Template Library

Before your next discovery, head straight to our dedicated space:

  1. Click "Explore templates" in your Miro app dashboard
  2. Select "Fabric Group templates" on the templates menu.
  3. Navigate to the "Team" tab.

You will find a comprehensive set of resources ready to use – and this library is continually updated.

🛠 Top Templates for Discovery Engagements

The "Team" tab offers a template for almost every stage of the discovery lifecycle. Here are a few must-use templates to streamline your client interactions:

  • Discovery Planning & Process:
    • Kick Off Template – A structured agenda and visual guide for a high-impact project kick-off.
    • 2-Day Inception Workshop – A detailed, time-boxed framework for running a comprehensive initial alignment inception.
  • Foundational Alignment:
    • Hopes & Concerns – Quickly surface client expectations and fears at the start of any project.
    • Stakeholder Map – Visually plot influence and interest to define your communication strategy.
    • Elevator Pitch – Distill the core value proposition of a solution into a compelling, concise statement.
  • Deep Customers Understanding:
    • Proto-persona – Document preliminary assumptions about users before formal research.
    • Empathy Map – Structure deeper insights around what users Think, Feel, Do, and Say.
  • Communication & Research:
    • Discovery Communications & Meeting Invite Content – Standardised language for client outreach, ensuring professional, consistent messaging.
    • Develop a User Research Script – A guided framework for writing clear, unbiased, and effective research interview questions.

✅ Start with a Fabric Template

Starting with a Fabric Group template ensures you benefit from our collective knowledge and experience. They are designed by your colleagues who have mastered these processes on the field.

Our commitment is to keep these templates current and high-impact. If you have feedback on an existing template or an idea for a new one, please reach out to Ruben on ruben.cardoso@fabricgroup.com.au

Tech Radar Launch

May 2025
·
Abhijeet Kesarkar

As part of our internal R&D efforts, we are launching a Fab Tech Radar to help us track, assess, and adopt emerging technologies that can help us identify high impact technologies, drive innovation and thought leadership.

You may already be familiar with the concept of a tech radar, our adoption of this process is focussed towards identifying and learning interesting technologies that are relevant to us.

The Tech Radar is structured around four key focus areas:

  • Languages & Frameworks: Programming languages (e.g., Java and Golang) and frameworks (e.g., React and Spring Boot) that are at the core of custom software development.
  • Methods & Patterns: Covers methods and patterns related to software development, including architecture (e.g. Micro Frontends), security, testing, organizational methodologies, and more. It may include non tech methods e.g. event storming for modelling business processes.
  • Platforms: Technologies focused on platforms, infrastructure, and services e.g. GitLab CI/CD.
  • Tools: Variety of tools, from small utilities to large-scale software project e.g. Figma, Snyk

Each technology is placed into one of four adoption rings:

  • Adopt – Tech we are actively using and recommend
  • Trial – Tech we’re testing in real projects
  • Assess – Tech we should actively explore and learn.
  • Hold – Tech we’re avoiding or phasing out

Some examples of what a radar could look like:

Cypress as a ‘Languages & Frameworks’ to ‘Adopt’ for test automation

OpenTelemetry as a ‘Languages & Frameworks’ to ‘Assess’ for observability

We Want Your Input!

We’re now opening up the radar for company-wide contributions. If you've encountered a tool, framework, method, library, or platform that you think is worth watching, assessing, or avoiding—we want to hear from you.

Please submit your suggestions here: Google Form link

You can submit multiple suggestions for the tech radar.

Each submission will be reviewed by the R&D team and considered for inclusion in the next radar update. We will publish the tech radar to everyone in the organisation in the coming weeks.

For any queries please reach out to the R&D Team

Thanks for helping us stay ahead of the curve!
