Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is being used across the whole organization. Most of the departments use it for organizing workshops or for project management. Most of the workshops or projects are aimed at increasing the performance of employees or making our customers feel better. Since there are a lot of departments focused on the same problem with different perspectives, it is vital to engage them all at once. And that's the way Miro helps because it enables everyone to interact at the same time via the boards and not a single opinion is left behind.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Simplifies engagement of a workgroup.
Apart from other boards, it gives you a lot of well-made templates that will save you time.
Has a community that shares their ideas and inspirational boards.

Cons

In my opinion, adding PowerPoint files is not that easy - the fonts, size of texts/pictures are different and at some times make the slides unreadable.
Enabling more boards in lower packages (we currently have a limit of 2 boards).

Return on Investment

It helps us be more effective - we don't lose key insights and if used properly, it increases the efficiency of communication because you can check the status of tasks on boards.
It makes projects more comprehensive if you put everything regarding the project on one board (with a certain structure of course).

Implementation Rating

The more you use it and the more precise you are with creating boards the more people you motivate to try it and in the end, use it for their needs. Checking Miro templates and Miro boards of other users helps a lot since it inspires you to start something of your own and become a proactive user.

Ease of Integration

It is very intuitive and offers many options. With Covid and the big move towards online work, Miro helps manage the online environment in workshops and training. Templates make it very easy to use, so even beginners don't get lost and usually find several templates which might help them with their tasks.

Collaboration

It helped make collaboration easier and more efficient.
