We use it to virtually collaborate across our Product and Product design teams as we do early-stage problem identification and solution ideation.
As a team manager I often use it to map out and solve organizational and structural challenges and work through various solutions.
We use this to evaluate and compare different options for various problems we may be trying to solve.
We use it for virtual ideation, brainstorming and whiteboarding sessions that we run within our PD team as well as collaborating with other teams throughout our org.

  • Visualize options - many different options for how to show process and organize thoughts is very helpful
  • Miroverse/templating is great to draw from and be inspired by
  • Opportunities to contribute to the Miroverse is fun - we have a team member who was recently published and it was an exciting moment for her and our team.
  • Sometimes hard to know where to start for what you're trying to accomplish - as a manager I am not in there day to day and sometimes I just need some easy-to-go templates to help me lay my thoughts out. Sometimes the Miroverse can be too much to sort through, and a blank slate can be overwhelming - help me get started!
  • It would be amazing to have a guide to say... what are you trying to do today? And then give me some starting options that may just be nicely positioned and coordinated colored boxes that don't make me think. i spend too much time thinking about things like shapes, colors, post-it vs. text box vs shape and it can be frustrating
  • More targeted organization of the Miroverse. There's a lot there and it would be helpful to get some more targeted recommendations
  • Color palettes - help non-designers make it beautiful without having to think too hard about it.
  • Organize and find my boards - i have lots and it's hard to remember which ones i want for which purpose and have been shared... it can be too much.
For all my feedback, Miro is a great tool for collaboration, virtual whiteboarding, mindmapping, brainstorming, ideation session facilitation... it does a lot well and do and will happily recommend it. My team is big fans, but others who aren't familiar with it sometimes get frustrated or intimidated by it. So where it sometimes is less appropriate is when I have a diverse or large audience who isn't familiar. They don't like or easily get the typing, moving, orgnaizing, locking and other funcionalities and sometimes the tool gets in the way of the objective. in these cases I will try for an in-person whiteboarding session.

We use Miro for multiple purposes, including retro, workshops, any collaboration sessions, project planning, product mapping, brainstorming, documentation, presentation, or just a fun drawing emoji posting with coworkers.
The problem we are trying to solve was to have a tool that allow us to freely contribute our ideas in an unlimited space, that facilitate collaboration and many ways of capturing information.
With Miro, all the above mentions desires are fulfilled! This tool is so easy to use and have all useful features that suit all occasions.
Once you have started it you won't want to change to other tool.
  • Collaboration
  • Voting
  • Unlimited space
  • Private mode
  • Private mode
  • Add an actual Anonymous feature
  • More music
Retro templates are very useful.
Emoji feature and the ability to add more app is very helpful to allow a wide range of options for my retro sessions.

I use Miro to sketch Product flow, User flow, and UI/UX of our product. I like to visualize for my developers how our product should behave and function based on requirements. I use it on a weekly basis, either iterating the sketches or referring to them in our different product documents.
  • Easy navigator and board visibility
  • Common shapes and elements that I need to use are available
  • Resizing makes it very flexible
  • I'd love to see Grammarly (or some sort of autocorrect tools) on top of Miro
  • Arrows and lines are not easy to use and sometimes drag my frames
  • I'd love to see more real product shapes and full components (not just buttons)
  • Benchmarking please! ideas for wireframes etc
It's suited to visually represent user flows and product UI/UX. I like how realistic it could look when I visualize a product interface.
I also like to use it for brainstorming, when everyone can access and put their notes on a shared board.
It could be enhanced in that sense and allow more collaborative options such as voting

We do a lot of collaborative creative work - web page wireframes, design thinking activities, usability research note-taking, and design sprint planning. We also have considered it for project management using Kanban but decided to use other tools for that.
  • Generating sticky notes - most people can figure that out w/ no/little orientation
  • process diagraming - this has gotten much better in the last year
  • wireframing websites and user interfaces
  • icons - they used to stink, but now they are WAY better - a small but important thing
  • Some objects that support text don't support formatting (i.e. bullets) and that can be annoying, especially when you don't test it first and then all of the sudden you need them. I wouldn't expect support for stickies, but pretty much all other objects.
  • the product is doing a really good job of releasing new features, i'm not really sure I have more suggestions
Miro is a great tool for group collaboration and design thinking activities. It's also a wonderful tool for wireframing and prototyping.

It's not quite yet fully supportive of interactive prototypes though, that's the direction I'd like to see it go. Something akin to Adobe XD's capabilities in that space.

I use Miro daily to break down business processes in unison with the agile work-stream. Some coworkers are visual learners, by using Miro, I am able to document outcomes, tasks and to-dos via result chains using Miro. Miro allows me to simplify the process of ironing out work to be done, and providing a visual representation of the process for both review and publication.

Before Miro, I used a pen and paper, now I am able to document the way I think, or work with co-workers, and document they way they think visually. The tool is valuable, and work-life is made simpler using Miro.
  • Result chains
  • Process documentation
  • Applying thought to screen
  • Works with the Jira tool
  • My needs have not outgrown Miro, and it does everything I need it to do very well
We document "quarter at a glance" using Miro. Whether you use Miro or not, working with an experienced Miro user can simplify the process and allow you to document your thoughts on the fly easily and easily modify as needed.

My typical experience with Miro always ends with a pretty picture easily explaining what needs to do be, and the steps needed to do it. We also run "retrospectives" with Miro, and the tool makes it seamless.

Miro helps us brainstorm for new projects and execute our goals.
  • Brainstorming
  • Collaboration
  • Mindmaps
  • I'd like to see some better timeline options or ways to automate counting down or backwards when trying to plan timelines for projects ( easier to use visual calendars, etc.)
Group brainstorming it has been very useful to see group ideas and then organize them in a shared virtual space.
It is also helpful for mapping out processes to help others on the team visualize a new process.
It has also been helpful to track team progress towards goals and to document where we are stuck and if we have any additional to-dos that we are getting hung-up on.

We use Miro for designing chatbot conversational flows. The product addresses the need for user experience (UX) documentation to be consumed by designers, developers, managers, product owners and other business stakeholders. After a discovery process, the UX designers create the conversational flows by emulating either the interface for the company app or for WhatsApp using components drawn on Miro, combined with other elements representing the steps of the interaction, such as decisions, transference to human attendants and many more.
  • Offer unlimited space on their boards
  • Enables colaborative work
  • Provides conversion of content to other formats
  • It keeps dislogging from time to time and relogging on is time consuming
  • Large boards take a long time to load
  • The drawing of shapes is quite limited
It is suited for interactive activities involving the team, such as brainstorming or card sorting sessions. It is less appropriate in situations in which the content to be created or discussed is very large, because this may cause Miro to become extremely slow, impairing the agility of the work in progress.

We use Miro to help map out organizational processes and documentation. We also have used it for trainings and wireframes! Its been a great versatile tool for our company and its something that we use daily. We are able to permission out board sharing on a per role basis and its been key for organizing our boards.
  • Organization
  • Templates
  • Collaboration
  • Different Shapes
  • Saving Brand Colors
  • Deleting out presaved colors
Miro is a great tool for those wanting to map out and document company processes. They have predefined templates you can use to start but the tool is also flexible enough that you can make your own process flow fairly easily. It is great for both onboarding but also for just presenting our new ideas.

The Learning & Development team in my organization utilizes Miro for both team development and project mapping. It is almost paramount for collaboration given how global we are and how extensive our content development goes. From year-in-review activities to goal planning, it helps us see where we are both individually and collectively in our thoughts. The various non-work features, such as timers and background music also help us to feel more comfortable and relaxed while participating in said activities. Miro provided a very innovative way to lay out thoughts and perspectives whether they are built from the ground up or are pre-established notes/call-outs that can be voted on.
  • There is a wonderful variety of template layouts relevant to project needs
  • Project access and organization are paramount to ensuring the right people see the right things
  • Miro promotes both real-time engagement and updates to make sure people in other time zones can access the most updated information
  • If the organization has boards divided up by department, it can be confusing to know where to put a new board/how to make sure it winds up in the correct place for teammates to access based on their permissions
  • In some cases, users may not understand the best template to use to meet their needs. For example, I used the mind-map template frequently, but a colleague had no clue how to use it and felt there was no hint or "pro-tip" on how they could benefit from using it.
  • This is purely aesthetic, but if more colors could be implemented into things like the sticky notes, that would be great. Sometimes, there were more people working on a project than there were colors available to differentiate between who was sticking what feedback in the project.
Based on the job of some departments, Miro could just be seen as clutter/an extra tool that isn't relevant to doing their job. But to those who benefit from project mapping or collaboration virtually, this tool is PARAMOUNT and I would recommend it to many teams across my organization (even though most of us utilize it anyway). Miro has inspired me to suggest it to friends and family that have similar organization strictures as mine.

I am a lean-agile coach and I use Miro for everything now. My Miro account is basically my portfolio of training and coaching materials as well as my ideation tool for workshops. One of the largest efforts I've utilized Miro for is OKR rollouts. OKRs alignment takes a lot of horizontal (and vertical) space and is not at all suited for PowerPoint. I have build large training classes that utilize frames and I play the training as if it is a PowerPoint deck.
  • Presentation
  • Collaborative ideation (whiteboarding)
  • Infinite canvas that no Microsoft product can handle
  • Starter Templates
  • AI integration
  • I always try to start with a template, but often can't find something that really matches what I need
  • Maybe add more to the Kanban tools or make a special Kanban, but we could use nested cards (to represent hierarchies such as Epic-Feature-Story-Task levels)
  • My main customer, the Veteran's Administration is blocking Miro on their firewall (but Mural is not blocked)
OKR ideation and maybe even maintenance (although I still can't think of Miro as a 'system of record')

I am an Industrial Designer - I use Miro to remotely share visuals with my teammates. We organize timelines, create inspiration boards, create sketch brainstorms, and general use Miro as a "War Room" for all visual content related to a specific project. Sometimes we use Miro for specific tasks like Workshops with external teams, but typically we use it to gather everything visually-related to a project in one place.
  • Its the only tool that my organization permits (that does what it needs to do)
  • Somewhat-simple interface
  • Infinite "space"
  • AI - "delete background" tools work well for sketch uploads
  • Sticky notes
  • Video formats not supported
  • Multi-uploads not supported
  • Sketching directly in Miro is horrible (ie "Pen" tools are basically useless). Look to Procreate for a better experience
  • Connection lines default to snap to image - very annoying!
  • Zoom/ Pan hotkeys could be more obvious (for novice users)
Best suited - Brainstorms, image gathering, sketch-gathering. Exercises within design teams. Please support MP4/ Video! We create our own custom templates for workshops. Some basic "shape building" tools like Adobe Illustrator would make it more functional as a "creation" platform.

Not well Suited - Manually creating timelines. Grouping, aligning and moving objects feels clunky. Also not well suited for scenarios when sharing many LARGE images - it tends to slow down my entire computer when I open a Miro with too much content.

We use Miro as our board and for our stand-up meetings every day. It is how we track the jobs that we are working on and the candidates that are submitted to each job. Every one of our team members has access to the Miro board and is able to look at the Miro board to see if there are any updates throughout the day and week. We track our monthly revenue through it and when we have candidates coming off of their contracts. We are able to color code the tags to each sales representative to accurately where there needs to be more coverage on reqs.
  • Has a lot of options when creating the board.
  • Once you get the hang of it, it is easy to use.
  • Giving people access is easy to do as well.
  • I think being able to edit the board is easier and not having to switch to the cursor on the board every time you want to move across it.
  • Sometimes the board randomly gets messed up, and I'm not sure why.
Miro helps us to put all of our business in one place for our entire team to see. We have used other avenues in the past, but specifically, because we are remote and have remote team members, it helps us in the virtual sense. We usually are on a teams call, and I share my screen with the team and navigate through the board. If we ever were not in a virtual situation, it may not be as appropriate, but since we will have remote team members for an indefinite period of time in the future, I don't see us changing how we do our morning stand-ups and keeping track of our business where everyone has access.

* Used for white boarding when it comes to brainstorming, team discussions etc
* Presentations and providing visual cues - Have been using the board instead of making slides for team presentations
* Use GenAI features on the board for make diagrams and also writing meeting note and summarizing it for wide audience
* Sprint planning
  • Tools provided for use
  • GenAI intergtaion
  • Templates provided for use
  • Sometimes depending upon zoom level line looks very thin and not visible to remote audience
  • Background color change (ignore if already there)
  • Ability to draw professional diagrams like LucidChart
Brainstorming meeting and collaboration over zoom
Sprint planning meeting and online voting
Use of GenAI features to write meeting notes, generate pictures to be used in slides

Less approportaite - use on iPad. Drawing expeirence is not good there. If I draw on Ipad and then see it on Mac the aspect ratio changes and so does the drawing. Freeform is better in that case for me

We use Miro to brainstorm, ideate, and organize ideas. We are an internal startup at a very old Fortune 500 company.
  • Fast brain-to-whiteboard transfer
  • mind mapping
  • templates
  • close to being able to use for some design tasks, but not there yet
  • export stickies to CSV could be a lot better
  • Ability to remove background from images would be nice
  • Mind maps are not as flexible - ex. you can't have a 2 way mind map with 2 endpoints
Well-suited for brainstorming, group ideation, mapping ideas and systems, and getting ideas down on "paper"

Not as appropriate for design tasks. I'll often have the information organized how I want on Miro, but then have to move to Figma or Canva to get it presentable. Also not as appropriate for data analysis which I think could be fixed with better export to CSV. It is extremely frustrating to have all of the data down on sticky notes but needing to manually re-enter onto a spreadsheet

I use Miro for my day to day organization and function. I house everything from org charts, team initiatives, client profiles, web links/descriptions, and to do tasks. I especially like that i can share it with my coworkers that i collaborate with often so they can stay up to speed on what i'm doing and who i've spoken with.
  • Idea flows
  • house multiple forms of content
  • organize thoughts
  • templates that are more excel-like
i have recommended Miro to many of my coworkers. I've shared my Miro board with them for ideas on how to structure it. I also tell me often how much it's helped me to get organized and have one-stop access to many thought streams, especially for those who are starting a new role.

For many things, but most importantly for me, to develop my ideas and thinking, and collaborate with remote teams. The ability to zoom in and out, combine different formats of material, infinitely scale boards, make notes, and easily make connections between things - makes Miro far more effective than when working in a linear format through traditional digital documents.
  • Zoom in and out
  • Enable easy remote collaboration
  • Present information in an endless array of formats
  • Greater level of zoom in and out for increasingly massive boards!
  • Memory management when working on huge files
  • The ability to output large files at a very high resolution, in multiple output formats
  • The level of controls available around shapes, typography etc. to enable more highly crafted outputs
  • AI integrations (generative AI image creation tools)
Best suited to brainstorming, ideation, strategic thinking, mapping flows and journeys etc., as well as working collaboratively with remote teams. Less appropriate for crafting high-fidelity screens, creating linear narrative outputs

As an MA student, I was introduced to the Miro platform. Ever since, I have learned how to use it and I love it. It has made working with others easier because of how reliable the platform can be for multiple users at the same time. I enjoyed working in creating documents there and it’s a great way to keep an archive available as well.
  • Saving files in multiple ways
  • Available at anytime
  • All the wonderful extra working tools features
  • Can be accessed online and through the app
  • Every board is to be saved automatically into the user's main computer
  • Privacy feature to prevent other students from viewing the Miro board
  • To let professors in the education sector know who has done what documents
I think Miro is a great platform to work and share with classmates and colleagues. I would recommend it to anyone. It’s easy to learn and easy to work on it.

When working with remote teams, or with flexible locations, eg. hybrid, work from home, etc, having a shared whiteboard and kanban that is always accessible to everyone on the team is invaluable.
  • Kanban project management
  • Planning and scheduling
  • Shared board for Zoom brainstorming workshops
  • Sticky notes only have two available fonts--please enable more fonts
  • Interface can still be fiddly when trying to select particular items within a frame, instead of selecting the frame.
  • Being able to easily cut and paste boards from one project to another would be very handy
Miro is well suited to being a whiteboard for online workshops or online classes. It is also extremely well suited to being a Kanban management tool for teams that work in many locations. It is also quite decent as a calendar, surprisingly

  • Certain integrations could be stresses out - I know they exist but I never used them because they’re hidden somewhere
  • Organisational structure - eg different groups can run out of space so you have to go to another group

Since most of our associates are still working in Hybrid or Remote environments, we utilize Miro as a way to bring project planning, visualization and task management to a forum that all can actively engage with. We use Miro for dashboards to to the cross-functional leaders as well as for Kaizens to allow for quick brainstorming and problem solving.
  • Free form board development
  • Good integrations with other SaaS tools
  • Many templates and a great community
  • Great online training tools
  • Better rendering speeds, sometimes boards are slow to load
  • More options to group boards in Miro
Miro is well suited for scenarios where there is a need for low fidelity implementations of boards and templates that mimic in person white boards and rooms. This may be a less appropriate tool for complex task management where there are many dependencies and need for dynamic updating of all contents on a board.

In Miro, the majority of our work is focused on what we call as boards, these include mind maps, user flow diagrams, kanban charts and more. Because creating one from scratch can be difficult and time-consuming, Miro offers pre-designed templates that we can choose from right away. It's a great tool that assists us in project management.
  • Collaboration: Allows us to invite team members to perform edits on the same board.
  • Flowchart view helps us in seeing the big picture & removing the redundancies.
  • When we get a good number of boards, we can easily filter them based on who owns them or arrange them chronologically or alphabetically.
  • The cloud data storage policies might be an issue for some locales as it stores everything that's created in boards.
  • Both starter & the business plan come with a subscription cost.
  • No offline mode, it requires an active internet connection.
Miro added support for presentations to its list of project management features. We can save time and effort by taking a little extra time when designing a board to ensure that content is placed in the appropriate frames. It enables us to generate boards, charts & presentations right away.

It's not suitable for people who want to work in offline mode because Miro requires constant internet connectivity.

Miro has been useful for building documentation by acting as a single source of truth. It is also a friendly platform for demoing solutions to stakeholders and facilitating sprint retrospectives with our dev team.
  • Granular settings - board style (dots/squares) and snap-to-grid options are particularly useful when drawing highly detailed diagrams.
  • Copying and Pasting Excel into Miro as sticky notes or a table is extremely time-saving!
  • The ability to add brand colors helps us stay on brand and draw up presentation slides more efficiently.
  • Auto-size a table based on the amount of text instead of having to manually change the height and width, similar to auto-height and auto-width in Excel.
  • Increase the number of brand colors you can set.
  • Customizable sticky note colors.
Miro does everything we as a company need. While there are competitors, we are yet to find anything better. Miro has helped relay information to our stakeholders; we don’t need to screen share boring documents, but instead, we can share our boards where our stakeholders can collaborate with us, making our meetings more efficient.

Our business is quickly growing so we are constantly exploring new ideas and opportunities. Miro is SUPER useful in taking these really ambiguous ideas and turning them into organized plans. My favorite use of Miro is plugging in business frameworks and allowing people to add. As a really visual learner, the tool is HUGE in helping me communicate the craziness in my head because it allows me to organize it in a more intuitive way than writing it all out. As a person working in a fast paced environment with people that have limited capacity, the ability to convey ideas in a more efficient way is everything.
  • Collaboration
  • Templates and ideas
  • Ease of use, quick to get team going
  • Right level of complexity, not too much but has pretty full ability
  • Miro is down more than I would like
  • (take with grain of salt) Training. I'd like to have a clear path to getting better
  • Have templates that are formatted for export, things can end up small
  • Have templates optimized for consolidating data captured in large board
We have a lot of meetings (like many do) where the team ideates and talks in circles. Miro is a supper effective way to get those things written down. To plant a stake in the ground so we can take next steps. I find these especially useful in strategy-esque conversations.

We also love Miro for retrospectives. Any time we want to get a lot of input from a lot of people it is super nice to have a series of frames that we can walk through together while individually working on.

It has also been extremely useful in process mapping. Love being able to use different shapes and colors to show what is happening.

It is not great for timelines, I find it difficult to make adjustments and label things easily Also not great for making deliverables that are intended to be continuously used from a PM perspective. Not that I would expect it to be but still.
