Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Miro is used to align program tasks, dependencies, goals and visual management of these items.
Pros
- Collaboration of ideas
- Alignment of tasks
- Providing a mechanism for team members to participate in planning.
Cons
- Easier locking of some drawing elements such as grids used for rows and columns. Accidental movement happens quite often by those inexperienced with the tool.
- Ways to lock a given row or column while moving around such that it is clear what row or column is being viewed when zoomed in - similar to freeze panes in Excel.
- An easy way to watermark a row or column such that information is reasonably close to a tag (particularly if the above is not possible).
- Though some initial work has gone into the templates used by our company, with these in place it is relatively straightforward to put a Miro board in place and saves some time in setting up a Visual Management board. Hard to quantify ROI without knowing the costs of the investment the company has made into the tool.
- Negative impact is the time it takes to maintain the board and integrate links to other live documents as that is not done quite as often.
- Not clear that there is an impact on project completion time as compared to tradition tools such as spreadsheets and MS-Project.
Very positively. Allows discussions as though one were in the same room using a collaboration tool such as Teams.
