Its use extends to enhancing presentations with visual cues instead of traditional slides. The platform aids in efficient sprint planning and project management while aligning teams effectively. Users have harnessed its GenAI features for creating diagrams, compiling meeting notes, and conducting design tasks such as mapping user flows and journeys. Miro also serves as a crucial tool for customer research activities, from initial planning and note-taking to the final synthesis. Moreover, it caters to virtual collaboration needs by supporting design reviews, workshops with external customers, and fostering knowledge sharing within design teams.
Template Variety: Users have expressed appreciation for Miro's diverse range of template layouts tailored to different project needs, enhancing creativity and organization. The platform's extensive template options cater to various preferences and requirements, offering a wide selection to suit diverse project scopes and styles.

Performance Issues: Reviewers have frequently reported significant performance problems with large boards taking a long time to load, negatively impacting the user experience. This issue hampers productivity and frustrates users trying to work efficiently.
Limited Drawing Capabilities: Users find the drawing capabilities, especially for shapes, to be restrictive and have requested more variety in shapes and the ability to save brand colors. The current limitations hinder creativity and design flexibility on the platform.
Difficulty in Board Organization: Some users express confusion when organizing boards by department, struggling with determining the correct placement for new boards. This lack of clarity disrupts workflow efficiency and makes it challenging to maintain an organized workspace.

Great for collaboration
Used for collaboration across wide geography - retros, brainstorming, etc.
- Collaboration
- Voting
- Follow leader
- Music is very loud, with no way to adjust at my end (maybe just me), so I end up turning it off
- Too easy for collaborators to move the background, locking certain items is fiddly

Getting into a brief with Miro
I use Miro to zoom in on briefs. Often so multi-faceted and broad when they come in from a client - yet of course each element bearing synergistic resemblance to one another - it can be hard to know where to start, or where to sink your teeth into. Miro gets you going with templates and the raw ability to layout large quantities into information in a condensable way.
- Moodboarding
- Showcasing a project or journey
- Brain dumping
- Some basic functions are missing: you can't justify text, for example
- No offline working, even on solo boards
- Some occasional glitches

I can't imagine a world where I work without Miro
We use Miro for almost everything that requires collaboration among team members, such as running team meetings, retros, doing product discovery, brainstorming, research syntheiss, OKR alignment and so much more.
I can't imagine a world working without Miro. Miro has brough so much productivity and synergy to our organisation and team.

- Prensenting and aligning ideas and strategies
- Flashing out dependences

- It's really good, and I can't think of any areas for improvement at the moment.

We will occasionally use Miro to collaborate on low fidelity wireframing
Some projects across different time zones will use Miro for a-synchronous collaboration

- AI features aren’t something I’m happy to rely on heavily yet
- Very very large boards will occasionally hang and not let you interact with them
- I’ve had issues with SSO sign in recently, but sure if that’s Miro or Microsoft

Cornerstone of Remote UX Team
Collaborative whiteboard; meeting notes; to-do lists; brainstorming; prototype development; User testing (formative and summative)
- loads fast
- flexible for nearly any need
- supports the way I think (non-linear)
- collaborative work space - can support independent and collective work
- search within boards (make this included with standard subscription)
- some boards get heavy with thousands of elements - put some more horsepower behind those boards
- maybe have a 'select these elements and export them to a 'child' board' to free up space
- allow for easier navigation between boards that are linked
- have a 'meta' organizer - where you could create a map of boards that are not just a linear list
- maybe a replay board - where you watch someone else build a board at 10 or 20x speed

I just love how user-friendly and easy-to-use to use Miro is. It has been a great platform that we use company wide to collaborate and share ideas with colleagues during project management or tasks. It helps me organize my own thoughts and ideas into real-life. My team and I are able to create better user flow and roadmaps during collaboration of different projects from Miro. Overall this is just amazing and flexible tool that provides all sorts of solutions.
- Team collaboration.
- Facilitate communication.
- It's easy to get started with Miro.
- Unmatched customer support.
- Intuitive UI.
- Better user flows and roadmaps.
- Miro is an excellent whiteboard platform that we highly rely during collaboration and communication of my team. But at times it's very difficult to manage board access for users who are not among your team members.

Powering Collaboration Success
We use Miro regularly to run product inceptions, bi-weekly retros, plan our demos (and capture feedback from users) and capture useful information from users. We will also use it to mind map ideas either individually or as a team. My favourite use case has been our "Learning Days" board I created that works across multiple product teams so that everyone can see what people are learning and have learnt to aid collaboration.
- Mind mapping ideas and user workflows
- inter and cross team collaboration
- a place to quick capture ideas in a central place
- The user management , in particular who has access to which board is not easy to see
- Templates aren't very easy to edit. Say I want to use some elements or customise a template. You can't always do that
- Easier way to quickly add a thumbs up or "+1" or other type of emoji. This would be useful during retros for example
April 09, 2024
Miro enables collaboration and iteration
Miro enables me to have a single whiteboard where I can hold a mixture of information that is accessible to me, my team and clients, it can hold static info that can be presented to them , prepared templates to work collaboratively on, and iteratively. All in one place, i use it to run workshops that underpin discussions related to improvements, value streams, product management and cloud operations. I also use Miro for research and professional development, as it allows me to keep notes, create sketches, mind maps etc all in one single place.
- Easily create a stream of connected sticky notes
- Vast selection of shapes
- Organizing frames for a presentation
- Easily Hiding content from view to avoid distractions
- Having a ‘double click’ action would be nice, for example, in Kahoot you can create a sticky note by double clicking. It makes creation faster (specially while having a discussion with a client) , something similar would be great.
- Being able to choose what to do with a double click would be even better. Enable a level of personalization.
- Some sort of frames or contents grouping for easy finding/organizing. (Specially on big whiteboards), I am aware frames can be given a # and then searched but not aware of a grouping option. Again, this is something I’ve recently seen in kahoot.
- Being alerted or prompted on current % in use.im aware 100% should be the starting point, specially when drawing and/or preparing a custom visual that is to be presented however I’ve been inadvertently using a lot less than 100 to then find out drawing is too small or poor quaility.
- Moving multiple boards to a project. Multiple selection/dragging

Miro, the best whiteboarding tool on the market
Miro is my go to tool! From inceptions to retros to team plans and timelines. Miro allows me to work collaboratively with my team members be it in office or across the globe. Being able to collaborate with teams on a virtual whiteboards is really important for me in my role. Obviously being out of the office post covid Miro solves this issue.
- Whiteboarding
- AI Smarts
- Talktracks
- Presentations
- Collaboration in big groups

A powerful tool for planning and collaboration
I use Miro for many parts of my job including but not limited to -
1. brainstorming templates
2. Roadmaps
3. Planning sprint, months and quarters
4. Identifying right stakeholder and mapping them to specific workstreams
5. Collating market and competitor research
6. creating workflows of a project, what will be required, who would do what, what would be the timelines and so on. Essentially, end to end planning of a project in a detailed way.

Review
Miro is typically used as a supplement to Microsoft Office suite and other traditional software. I’ve had the most success using it when working on a large, cross-functional team where we need to work synchronously and asynchronously for marketing and product management style documentation. Product and project roadmaps, lifecycles, and even things like content briefs have been very successful. It’s also a nice software to use when collaborating with agencies or others outside of your direct organization.
- Mind maps and other templates
- Collaborative documentation
- Timelines, project / product roadmaps, team charters
- Tables and working with data
- material that eventually needs to be presented (Miro is great for working collaboratively but today does not replace PowerPoint)
- Scaling - templates and other content are at vastly different scales, and it’s very different to synergize this

If you see something, say something.
Used across the whole organization. This tool helps us to create the roadmap, brainstorm some ideas, and put together flows that assist us explains what the scenario will be. In addition, this tool is very easygoing you can create as many items as you want you one place. It's been awesome using such a powerful tool to guide our product strategy.
- User Story Mapping
- Quick Retrospective
- Product Roadmap
- Mind Map
- IM - Include Slack or Teams to real interact
- Simple /Import NewTemplates
- Prototype Option

Miro Review
It is used for online colloboration and team discussions. We use this mostly for physical white board discussions for team members to share their thoughts. Sometime we use it for tracking the work progress. I also use it to manage my weekly goals and track them as it goes along
- easier login process
- provides visuals during colloboration
- varity of templates to choose from
- Sometimes loading of boards is slow
- Organise boards
- easy to locate or search facility

I like Miro
Miro helps me to explore and communicate ideas spatially. This introduces another set of thinking styles to independent and collaborative work. The fact that you can collaborate in a shared space is useful in hybrid working contexts. The use of tagging and other tools to support automation makes Miro more efficient than some "real world" processes and ways of working. And the introduction to templates for common tasks and processes can get you started quickly and provide inspiration for a tool/process to jump-start your thinking. The ability to use Miro as both a thinking space and a tool for communication through linear and non-linear presentation makes it the perfect tool for multidisciplinary collaboration.
- Visual thinking
- Automated affinity sorting through tagging
- Realtime collaboration
- Support for more file formats
- Video support
- simpler user permissions

Miro is ACE!!!
I use it to mind map at early days if a project. Capture various thoughts, images, links information on a topic, for every initiative I do I always have a Miro board of information.<br>I use it for process mapping both alone and with teams.<br>Getting the views of many people in a workshop and using AI to organise the data.
- Fast process mapping
- Collaboration remotely with many people
- Capture thinking in a graphical way
- Frames being slightly harder to move accidentally. I know we can lock them but new users often accidentally move them if we have forgot to lock them. So maybe make it harder for visitors to move frames.
- i sometimes want to add a document icon with a link to a document and a title beneath the document icon. I can do that by adding a separate text box but it isnt quite the slick option I hope for.
- I would also like more of the icon to which I have added a link to be selectable rather than having to go to the top right corner. (I know this is minor but they are tiny niggles!!)

Miro is a must for any organisation
We use Miro for two main purposes. Firstly, to facilitate workshops. Miro is excellent to use when you want to make a session engagement as it allows everyone to join the board and join certain activities such as brainstorming sessions or ice breaker games. Secondly, presentations. Miro provides an alternative to traditional presentation methods in that it gives more control to authors as to how they can present certain information. It's easy to add screenshots and flow charts which also helps.
- Really great templates
- Easy and intuitive UI
- Easy collaboration with other individuals
- Miro Community that shares their work
- Features like voting system
- Can't add a video onto Miro
- Sometimes people select a certain item and that stops or freezes the whole frame
- Sometimes the flow charts mess up
- Hard to do Opportunity Tree Solutions

Miro is the hybrid office saviour
Miro is mostly used as an async collaboration tool, pooling stakeholders together to contribute to mappings. Miro is also used for remote ideation sessions. For my use case working in Customer Experience, Miro is used to create journey maps and service blueprints that are exported to PDF and printed to physical. In my previous role, I used Miro mostly for business process mapping.
- Offers great control functions to facilitators through 'bring everyone to me'
- Offers a great range of shape and iconography to permit the design of a broad range of maps
- Being in the cloud, does well permitting sharing boards for async collaboration
- Inexperienced Miro users find it quite difficult to navigate a board.
- Lines may get fixed on to an object when they're not physically attached resulting in moving the shape and skewing the line.
- I'd like to be able to highlight and group clusters of objects together more easily, similar to PowerPoint.

Satisfied Miro user
As a former Scrum Master and nowadays PO I take good value of using Miro for getting my team to collaborate and also use it during our PI Planning (SAFe). It provides a good overview, is good to be able to connect in towards Jira and also brings some more joy for the team. I am quite experienced in creating boards but I also find Mirouniverse to be an excellent source for using other contributor's boards. Miro is a very valuable tool for me.
- Make planning much easier
- Enable better team collaboration
- Makes it easier to follow up on commitment
- Incorporate Jira even more since it's still somewhat of a dual system
- Incorporate board suggesstions easier from Mirouniverse
- Take more advantage of Generic AI
April 05, 2024
Miro - a real supercharger of collaboration
Typically, I use Miro as a space to explore a problem space or think and plan out a piece of work or presentation. For problem exploration, I use Miro to build out a set of research questions, and then create frames to collate the research that I do and then synthesize it. Works very effectively for that. I would then use Miro to think through the implications of that research, and plan out a storyline for a presentation. Because it is a non-linear space, it is particularly effective for this, as you can think expansively. That love that about Miro. You've just got to stay on top of it to keep things tidy and in order, because things can get messy if you aren't careful. But Miro has some real neat ways to help you organise content, which really helps. Overall, it is an amazing tool that I could live without.
- Importing data from excel and turning it into post its
- Organising your post it notes
- Really helps with making sense of data and content. The ability to move things around is really powerful
- Super helpful with planning and thinking things through
- More colours for post it notes
- More colours for tags
- More design control so you can really amp up the look and feel of your boards
Miro is the best management tool. Personalize mind maps and boards to visualize your thoughts. I utilize it to train new hires when they're puzzled. It's easy to set up and lets multiple people work on a board. Following these instructions will help you master Miro's features quickly. Miro is most valuable for its community.
- Multipurpose collection of templates with a variety of practical purposes.
- Keeping confidential and sensitive data safe is its primary role.
- Using it will be a breeze, even for newbies.
- Templates have a limit on the number of edits you can make.
- On rare occasions, when presenting, the screen will become unresponsive.
- Moving huge boards to other files is a pain.

Great remote tool for all teams
Miro is great for multiple purposes. As a designer, it is a great space to gather requirements, perform brainstorming, and has been a great platform to facilitate fun activities like ice breakers. Especially since going remote it has been a nice space to work with stakeholders to map out ideas and take notes on screens/flows. We have used the platform to run several design sprints and is great to have shared spaced and documentation.
- Templates for different activities ie. Design Sprint
- Collaborative space
- Incorporate functionality for many different use cases
- Includes fun micro functionality
- The AI functionality is super helpful for multiple use cases
- a range of use - for more advanced users vs those less tech savy?
- more emphasis on the trainings available? and more of a call out for new features
- more design elements to use
- The organization of boards/groupings/projects could be better. Add labels/tags?

Excellent virtual whiteboard and collaboration tool
We use Miro to support all our Agile activities (requirements gathering, research sessions, architecture and design discussions, PI planning, retrospectives) for more than 10 teams under an Agile Release Train (ART). We also use Miro for any discussion that requires collaboration using a "whiteboard" when we have remote participants. This can be as simple as a team-level discussion about the next outing or more involved as analyzing the results from company-wide employee-feedback surveys. This also includes workshops and other activities with global participation and collaboration.
- Global collaboration with people who may or may not have an account
- Unlimited canvas size
- Organization of the content among teams and projects
- Great user experience
- Nice looking widgets that can be manipulated easily in the canvas to create simple and complex diagrams
- Large library of applications
- The autosizing of text inside the sticky note can be annoying when you have long text
- Adding people to teams can be cumbersome if they never used Miro before

Miro - collaborating efficiently
I use Miro for as much as possible. Anywhere I would previously have used a keynote, I have transitioned to Miro. I also use Miro as an agenda tool for my triad meetings. I house in that board a running calendar of key gates and dates as well as daily agendas.
- Collaboration
- Presenting
- Meeting agenda
- One stop shop
- Integration with keynote, ability to import presentations
- More useful tool integrations
- A suped up Kanban chart feature with more abilities

A great software for design collaboration
We use Miro for collaboration and team critiques. We also use it to present final UX and UI designs.
- Collaboration
- Linking to other apps
- Storing large complex designs
- The menu on the side gets lost at times and you’re looking for it
- Widgets to share part of designs
- Easier prototyping functionality

- one on ones - I use Miro for my one on ones with my team
- opportunity mapping - mapping out opportunities and solutions for various initiatives
- Awesome templates
- Great collaboration tool
- Variety of different tools, notes, gadgets etc
- I find perspective and zoom difficult to orchestrate on Miro. What size do I make my content so it is legible but not too big or too small
- No ability to freeze areas (table headers) so when you scroll they stay constant
