Overall Satisfaction with Miro

In my organization, we use Miro as a collaboration tool that facilitates training and co-creation sessions but also, many teams use it to visualize workflows, processes, and different maps. During our agile transformation, it also serves as an essential tool before or in the intro phase of moving completely to Azure DevOps. For this reason, we also manage and facilitate backlogs, priorities, sprint progresses, and PI sessions also with this tool, so linking Azure DevOps with Miro is really essential to us to improve workflows and optimize processes.

Pros

  • providing templates and useful articles about how to use templates.
  • the site is really intuitive and easy to use.
  • the visualization is really appealing, pleasant to use.

Cons

  • updating data is manual, would be good to be able to link data together like in .xls.
  • also link visual graphs to data/data points - either text and/or value.
  • to be able to sync the Miro updates with the Azure DevOps tool.
  • to be able to copy paste easier information from and to other tools, in big corporate presentations still happen via .ppt plus officially we document projects, programs in .doc, .pdf so it is always really problematic to migrate Miro content to these formats. Also because the Miro board is usually really huge, so if I paste parts to a .ppt or .doc it becomes unreadable.
  • Improved collaboration between different teams and businesses within the company.
  • Made trainings, workshops more interactive and fun.
  • Helped a lot in workflow creation and mapping jaunts, blueprints.
Easy integration.
Collaborating on new projects was successful but management reporting out is still a challenge as the organization is still used to receiving .ppt presentations. Also, from an audit point of view projects must be documented as .xls, .pdf, .doc, or .ppt.

Miro is more visual, intuitive and appealing to use, easier to understand when sharing. However, it lacks some features but in terms of collaboration and co-creation, visualization can provide more than the other tools.

Miro is well suited as a collaboration tool, facilitating team sessions, workshops, trainings, co-create sessions. Also to facilitate lean and agile rituals. Miro from program management point of view at the moment lacking the possibility to link data points and the possibility to automate updates. At the moment everything is so manual that if timelines, plans, and budgets change I still need shadow files like Microsoft Project plan, Excel, World or PowerPoint to do these updates and be able to report in a digestible format. Unfortunately many times I know how to add documents to Miro but on the other hand, the content that was created there cannot be easily copied to a .ppt presentation. .doc or into a .xls which limits the usability of the tool. Many times, if I export the content as PDF or print screen the content to present it is hard to read by the audience which is a pity.
