Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We're using Miro for all kinds of purposes: from strategy workshops, and illustrating development scenarios to retrospectives. Especially in our remote and distributed setup Miro is a great tool to facilitate meetings towards a good outcome that is both created together with active participation of all parties as well as to reach a common agreement. Also, I find out very helpful to model overviews of how a system should behave, of what pieces it consists, how they interact together. Compared to other tools available, Miro is always ahead of the competition with regards to features and user experience. For me, it's the top tool to support knowledge workers.

Support of facilition of retrospectives with timers, dot-voting, "bring to me"

Alternatives Considered

MURAL and Conceptboard

Likelihood to Recommend

It is especially useful for retrospectives, workshops, domain-driven design, user journeys, storytelling, and interactive modeling for thinking about a common problem. In my experience, it is not ideal for drawing complex diagrams, like mindmaps.
