Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Miro is mainly used by the Product and Technology Division, and mainly by UX to depict workflows. We're starting to use it in Product as well for use cases and planning purposes.
- Remote whiteboarding for planning activities, especially the ability to easily move items in 2D.
- Building diagrams for depicting timelines, workflows, user journeys, etc.
- Provide ideas through the templates (although they can be cumbersome to rebuild).
- Templates are cumbersome to use since I'm generally deleting everything and rebuilding. But I do like how they give me ideas on how to use Miro.
- Managing large diagrams is hard. Switching between panning and editing is cumbersome. Finding my place while building the diagram can be frustrating, particularly managing the overall picture and the details at the same time (e.g. font sizes and such).
- Exporting cards to Excel/CSV was off. I'd expect that the column headers would be defined by the fields used on all the cards. But instead, I got fields organized haphazardly.
- I'm only starting to use it with my current team. No numbers to provide.
My team is 100% not in my city and is primarily based in India. I'm hoping that Miro will bring out more discussions and allow us to work asynchronously and then review synchronously.
