Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Since Covid restrictions required we primarily work remote, we now use Miro for our virtual Agile team meetings that used to be held in person. These include PI Planning, retrospectives, team builders, brainstorming and continual improvement, and roadmap planning.
Pros
- Allows multiple people to be updating and adding content simultaneously
- Great for "whiteboarding" sessions and allowing us to use sticky notes for collaboration
- Alignment, grouping, and locking tools allow our boards to look clean and organized
- Timer feature with great choices for unobtrusive background music
Cons
- Security settings make it difficult to collaborate with others on the fly. They have to be added to your "Team" first in order to contribute to a board. Then they have to be removed from the team later.
- Difficult to make multiple elements all the same size. They have to each be sized individually and then only by clicking and dragging to the right size. Nowhere to 'enter' numerical dimensions that will auto-size multiple items
- Unable to lock the 'dimensions' of something but still keep the element unlocked from being able to move it
- Improved efficiency and collaboration for PI Planning
Much easier to collaborate when we are all virtual
