Overall Satisfaction with Miro
I've seen Miro used across different departments, for a couple of uses. First, I've seen it used by the experienced team to generate experience models, and to show how software UI flows through various scenarios. Second, I've seen it used as a tool for strategy meetings and brainstorming sessions, where it replaces whiteboards and post-it notes.
- Very good at handling a large number of concurrent users, in a way where everyone can see what the others are doing.
- It has a good mechanism for generating visual UI previews and connecting them into flows.
- It can sometimes be easy to get lost on the Miro canvas; it's huge, and the content is usually concentrated in a single spot, so entering a particular page you can find yourself in an empty space, and that can be confusing.
- As a tool for building experience prototypes, it helps us understand early on and relatively cheaply whether we are on the path to a good experience or not. That's the primary value I've seen achieved using Miro.
I haven't seen Miro used on a day-to-day basis for general team collaboration. We use other tools for that. I see us using Miro in larger meetings, or in large-scale collaboration activities. For example, I've seen it used to replace planning meetings with dozens of people that used to be held in a huge conference room with hundreds of post-it notes moved around on walls; Corona made these types of in-person meetings impossible, so they were moved to Miro.
