Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Usually, my department uses it for planning each sprint and organizing thoughts and products. Each day we open our Miro to assign people to their tasks. I think Miro is really great, it's a complete tool. The only thing that sometimes bothers me is that it's too slow to open, but I understand that's something that might not be improvable since the performance issue is balanced with the good quality. That's the only problem I see.
  • Resizable images and objects.
  • Easy to use.
  • Have great features about group meetings, like voting and music.
  • A pattern for components, For example, I always want to make a square of that size and positioning.
  • Choose to load only a specific part of the board, like lazy loading. I only have to load where I'm seeing.
  • Improved understanding of complicated metrics on OKRs.
  • Better planning.
  • It helps us make a decision as a group of people.
The only issue I see is about performance. Some of the people don't have a good computer to use Miro, and my boss has his computer freeze a couple of times after he enters on Miro. I really think it could have a kind of lazy loading implementation to help with performance.
I think it's really great, and I don't have any problem with it, neither do my colleagues.
Actually, before the pandemic crisis, my organization didn't have a tool like Miro. We usually like to say it comes to stay. Miro helped us organize our team, do meetings with clients, and review the priority of the features of a product.

I guess the only products that I know like Miro are Figma and Notion. I still think that for product planning, scrum, and technologies activities as a team, Miro is the best choice. The notion is good for small products and personal use, and Figma is more for drawing and prototyping. For management, Miro is the best.
Usually, I see people using Miro for three scenarios that I think it suits well:
- Daily Planning: my team plans our day through Miro
- Scrum Activities
- Product Review and OKRs: We can easily do an OKR pyramid with Miro, and use stickers and annotations. It's very clear and beautiful, which helps make us understand the metrics of a product better.
