Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro to do LESS. So on Miro we have our refinements boards and the whole backlog tree.
We also have a Miro for our sprint retrospectives.
Every planning we go over the tree together to say which team will pick what up and during each refinement, we all work on the refinement board. Miro is handy because we can work with mutliple people on it.

Pros

  • Multi user
  • Timer
  • Can follow an user around

Cons

  • Loading, it's sometimes slow
  • Missing sth like archive
  • Search
  • Better communication
I still think that we are using Miro wrongly for the backlog but for refinements it's a good tool
It has made it easier to do meetings together when we needed to brainstorm over things.
Not everybody now needs to be in the office.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro is great if you want to collaborate with multiple people on something and you can't all meet up physically.
Everybody can easily add or change things although you just need to make sure that some important items are not accidentally deleted by someone.
For the backlog management it's not really that great. It has no archive like function so if you want a history you would need to make a new board and copy things to there
