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.
Need cheat sheets to reconstruct or integrate certain items - especially those not done often.
Some items with SharePoint or OneDrive integration not intuitive.
Very positively. Allows discussions as though one were in the same room using a collaboration tool such as Teams.

Yes

Miro is much easier to work with than the traditional physical manner in which Master scheduling was done.
Well suited for: visualizing high level tasks and progress, incorporating many other tools in one location, collaboration, multi-user interactions, visually oriented discussions.
Not as well suited for: Numerical calculations, data analysis, providing high word count details.
