Go to the Miro board from the department-wide call
Copy the functions that are relevant to the person being interviewed, along with their workflow
Paste the functions and workflows into the person's 1:1 workflow interview Miro
Set them up in a horizontal fashion, with blank sticky notes underneath
Make the content of the title sticky notes bold, leaving all blank sticky notes unboldened. This will come in handy when pasting the information into notion.
When taking notes during the interview, going in a downward fashion underneath the relevant sticky note rather than horizontally next to it will make it easier to paste into notion later
