Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro across the organization. We use it for roadmaps, Kanban, planning, whiteboarding, and workshops. Visually it solves the problem of seeing what artifacts have been created for a program or project. The ability to collaborate in real-time has greatly reduced the back and forth of emails.
Whether side by side physically or virtually, teams are able to make their updates and communicate to program managers and leadership.

Pros

  • Enables collaboration regardless of physical locations of the teams.
  • Provide templates, which ramps up new users quickly.
  • Well organized.
  • Flexible, can start at a blank slate.
  • Links to workflow tools.

Cons

  • A security architecture to make CISO.
  • Has improved timeframe from ideation to features/users stories by 30%, which ultimately increases speed to market.
  • Gained by other teams to streamline an approval.
  • Saved time with meetings (people could go in and make updates/changes) and added 1 hour a week of dev time per developer resulting in an average of 1.5 times more features delivered per sprint.
Start discussions with ISO teams very
early. Have a large preview meeting, then go team to team for training
and set expectations. Set up teams with their own "sandboxes"
and encourage individuals to do the same. Depending on the teams, it
might be best to show them a template and even get them started on what other
teams will be using so for standard artifacts there is consistency.
The actual product integration is very simple. The features are intuitive and first-time users are able to get right to work with Miro. Each organization should decide how they want the tool to be used and offer suggestions/guidelines/expectations to keep the use consistent. Agile teams can often find change difficult, but our teams immediately saw the benefits.
Absolutely. Many of our teams are working from home offices, most are in different buildings around the globe. Miro has enabled round-the-clock work to be done with clearer communication and understanding of "what is next". Regardless of where a person is located, side by side work is easier and faster than ever.

Jamboard isn't bad for ideation or team-building events. We started using them for planning and retros, but our Scrum Master always had to redo many things in a different environment. Additionally, the workspace size is very limited and the stacked boards created confusion. Overall features are very limited with Jamboard, and of course, there aren't any templates available.
Excellent for running agile ceremonies (retros, any voting). Depending on the executive, the available views and printouts may look too much like "a working board" and not formal enough; users should ensure they understand their audience and how they best receive information/updates.
