Miro vs Skype for Business (formerly Lync), now part of Microsoft Teams

• Workflow drafting. Miro has some great tools that are super easy to use to sketch workflow processes and make notes.
• Editing. Seems simple and a given but it's not. I've worked without "whiteboard" software where it's actually pretty difficult to edit your content. Miro makes it really easy to edit things quickly and make changes without having to do a lot of clicks.
• Share your board. It's been great adding people to Miro and having them work on projects with me. People who have no experience with Miro are able to get in and start working in just a few minutes.

• Skype's UI leaves a lot to be desired, especially considering newer platforms like Zoom, Teams, Slack, Meet, and so on. It's slow and lacks many features that are now de facto in the newer communication apps.
• Skype calendar also is often buggy - meeting times do not get updated on the calendar even if the correct time does come up on the Outlook calendar.
• It does not give you the option to mute chats - oftentimes, you want to keep some group chats on mute without leaving them entirely.
• Closing off a chat before it's saved will remove it from Skype history. You'd need to go search for it on Outlook mail.

• Skype for Business has enabled a migration in part away from fixed line telephony and introduced the user to mobile working with a headset which cannot be overstated as being a game changer.
• Being able to schedule Skype for Business meetings through Outlook has meant meetings with colleagues without a meeting room has been a great enabler.
