Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Miro for internal and client collaboration, planning, and workshops. We leverage both the pre-formatted templates and the whiteboard functionality to create our own designs and formatting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Pre-formatted templates (Kanban, journey map, etc.)
Intuitive user controls
Easy to share and invite others to collaborate on a board

Cons

Teams sharing functionality uses different controls (for pan, zoom, select, etc.) than a normal board
When sharing in Teams, users cannot see their names, and their cursors all show up as ‘Miro visitor’ or similar
Exporting frames to Excel is not very intuitive and requires some trial and error

Return on Investment

Improved clarity and alignment on complex decisions
Asynchronous collaboration and records of changes made
Improved productivity

Wherever possible, user controls in the Teams plug-in should mirror the functionality (zoom, pan, select, etc.) found in the normal instance of Miro. If possible, Teams plug-in should be modified to allow late entrants to a meeting (or those who drop and rejoin due to a bad connection) to immediately see the Miro board being shared.

Ease of Integration

Miro sign up is simple, and accessing boards is very straightforward.

Collaboration

I’ve been totally remote for the last ~2 years. Miro has been a lifesaver in instances where we needed multiple perspectives in real time.
