Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Miro for scoping our research projects and collaborating on product development requirements. Our team is located in many different locations and time zones, so it is important for us to have a tool to capture processes from initial brainstorms through to mapping out timelines and roadmaps.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Collaboration
Work across multiple teams
Catering for different types of projects

Cons

Can be a steep learning curve for teams used to tools like Excel
On large boards it is easy to 'lose your place'

Return on Investment

Improved efficiencies by making it easier for remote teams to collaborate outside of email and spreadsheets

Miro has had a positive impact on our collaboration, particularly when we have users in different locations. It helps recreate the "all in a meeting room working together" feel and encourages idea-sharing.

Likelihood to Recommend

Miro is very well suited for projects where team members are in different locations or need to work across different timezones, as it allows for real-time and "offline" collaboration. Miro is particularly useful for capturing initial ideas for a project and then refining them through collaborative discussions, voting, and editing.
