Introduction to Microsoft Whiteboard
Microsoft Whiteboard is a versatile tool designed for collaboration, allowing users to create shared boards with their colleagues. It is particularly useful in meetings for brainstorming and sharing ideas. This document explores its utility in more complex meetings, such as those following a digital scrum approach.
Accessing Microsoft Whiteboard
To access the online version of Microsoft Whiteboard, log into Office.com. Upon creating a new board, users are presented with a blank canvas, which can be time-consuming to populate with elements necessary for agile projects.
Utilizing Templates
To streamline the process of creating boards, Microsoft offers various templates. Navigate to the 'Create' section and select 'Templates' to view options tailored to different needs, such as brainstorming, problem-solving workshops, or project planning. For instance, the project planning template includes objectives, tasks, and a product backlog funnel, which aligns well with agile methodologies.
Adding and Manipulating Templates
To add a template to your board, simply click on your chosen template and then click on the desired location on the board. The template will be integrated into your workspace. Note that left-clicking allows you to move the view, while right-clicking opens a contextual menu. To move the entire template, select all elements using the Shift key, enabling you to reposition them as needed.
Preparing for Meetings
Once the template is in place, you can make any necessary adjustments to prepare for your meeting. The 'Share' button provides a link that can be added to your team's calendar. By selecting the meeting for which the board was prepared, you can drop the link into the meeting description, granting attendees and collaborators access to the whiteboard.
Integrating Whiteboard into Scheduled Meetings
During a scheduled meeting, you can directly select the Whiteboard app, which will create a new document. This allows you to perform the same actions as in the online version, enhancing interactivity and engagement during the meeting.
Post-Meeting Access
The whiteboard remains accessible to all meeting members even after the meeting concludes, allowing for ongoing consultation and review of the discussed content.
Conclusion
Microsoft Whiteboard is a powerful tool for enhancing collaboration in meetings, especially in agile project management contexts. By utilizing templates and sharing options, users can create interactive and productive meeting environments that extend beyond the meeting itself.
