Miro helped our startup stay up during the pandemic!
Overall Satisfaction with Miro
We use Miro for brainstorming and ideation, technical user flows for our user stories and user interactions, wireframing. I also use it as a presentation tool that’s much lighter than something like PowerPoint and much more flexible too since I can lay my slides visually in a grid where they make sense. Miro is used by the whole team, but primarily our product managers and designers, who use it to map user interactions, create user flows, and wireframes. Developers will sometimes use it for architecture plans but that’s rare.
Pros
- Real-time collaboration (LOVE this).
- Shared links (i like being able to easily send out a link that anyone can edit from).
- Templates (lots of them and they give me ideas for meeting content).
Cons
- I’d love to see better Apple Pencil support on the iPad app - the current drawing tool is a bit janky.
- I understand only allowing one font on a sticky note, but there should be a setting where we can change that font for a miro board.
- Load times and power usage on lower-end machines (e.g. old MacBook) - it’s very slow sometimes.
- Dramatically higher (probably about 60%) engagement during meetings by allowing ideation without talking.
- 40% reduced project time.
- 70% higher confidence in ideas when ideated together on Miro (based on survey).
Dramatically. We had to go fully remote over the pandemic and still are, and one of the biggest challenges was getting people to speak up on an all-hands zoom call. People are shy of voicing their ideas to a live audience, so it would often be pin-drop silence. I fired up a miro whiteboard and asked people to put their ideas as stickies there, and wow! the ideas really started flowing!
