Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I've introduced Miro to our REEMEA Market Group as a support tool for remote Integrated Strategic Planning process workshops, and I may say that this is a great tool. In the beginning, it required an introduction to participants on how to operate, but then it allowed remote problem solving, brainstorming, voting on ideas, and doing complex follow-up. It also allowed us to have a bit of fun. I've also been a user for several other problem-solving workshops and training with Miro as a tool for remote - online support tool.
  • Allows large remote teams to simultaneously brainstorm.
  • Helps to group ideas and conclude on actions during the workshops.
  • Works as a whiteboard and post-its, but has much more advanced functionalities and templates.
  • Reduces the time spent on reworking paper whiteboard conclusions.
  • Well actually, thanks to Miro, I would say that remote workshopping is more efficient than face-to-face, so it helps us be more time and budget efficient.
  • I would ease navigation on a board, newbies sometimes get lost.
  • A bit stiff enlarging board functionalities - only 5, 10, and 20% are available.
  • In the difficult Covid times, it helped us to still run strategic workshops without delays.
  • Reduces travel budget.
  • Increased time efficiency (no travel time, no reworking outcomes, live decision-making process visible to every workshop participant and decision-maker.
  • Improved decision making.
That was just easy, and people picked it up quickly. In a fun way, we've taught them how to use necessary functionalities, which took us no more than 20 minutes. My teams had fun playing with emojis and pasting photos. I like this efficient yet, people-friendly, tool. What I may advise is that you ensure everyone has access before workshops and you dedicate some time for quick learning.
Miro is just a super intuitive tool. People are learning by doing, and it's easy and does not require special training to introduce it to even a large group of people. I've seen some new functionalities (Teams), but have not used them yet, but I appreciate that the tool is being developed to even better reflect remote working realities.
I think that without Miro we would really struggle to have workshops with over 30 participants, in locations from Russia to Dubai, including Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Warsaw, etc. I now have experience using Miro in many workshops and training. I may say that now I prefer remote workshops with Miro to physical ones, as they are quicker and more efficient for leading people.

Yes

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

My best experience is when a large group or groups of people need to solve complex problems and strategize. For this specific purpose, I have not seen better solutions, which allows managing the access to outcomes by access management. I know that other teams/people are also using it for project management, but for this, I've found it too time-consuming as I am still a more pen and paper person.
