A tool that supports the creative process through several stages

At Ubisoft Toronto, but also at my previous company, Miro quickly became the main collaboration tool for the design and production team. It's a great tool that supports the various stages of the creative design process - I can easily kick-off by using the brainstorming template. Once I have sorted my thoughts and ideas, I switch to using different existing templates that I can configure into something that fits my specific needs for the design. Flowcharts, dependencies, feature overviews, and breakdowns are a few things that I can easily create and share with others on my team. Being able to have multiple users access the same document simultaneously, and allowing each one to work on it together, has improved the collaborative aspect of being a designer while working from home. Miro is certainly not replacing design documents but has greatly improved the creative thinking and collaboration process, and being able to share it with a team.

Miro has improved communication between teams. I am able to easily share information or work in progress with the right people, who, in return, can effortlessly leave their input, feedback, and questions on the same page. It has also simplified communication - often, all it needs is some example images that help convey a design. Instead of having to go back and forth to communicate, Miro allows me to prepare all the relevant information in an easily digestible way.
