Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We are using Miro for different business problems:
- Collaborative meetings between product, design and engineering. (Running Sprint design like exercises)
- Mapping and understanding business flows across multiple teams and processes
- Running sprint ceremonies (refinements, retrospectives, etc)
- Drawing service blueprints for our end user's services
- Brainstorming sessions between multiple stakeholders
  • Collaborate and ideate between teams remotely
  • Useful for scrum meetings like retrospectives, refinements (nice features like timers, voting, etc)
  • Map big processes or flows
  • Pricing: Not every users involved in a board will need the same kind of access
  • User management: Migrating from a paid team/board to a personal one is tricky
  • Notifications can be improved
  • Positive: It was easier to work remotely during the pandemic.
  • Positive: We were able to ideate a successful product
  • Negative: Sometimes it takes longer to structure some ideas when they start at a Miro due to its flexibility
Our implementation consisted in the following phases:
1. A couple of member of our teams started with a free account where they played with some of the features and mapped some of our business flows
2. We added more members into the product who were participating in the business flows of the phase 1
3. We divided into teams (Marketing, Product, Engineering) and we gave every member an account
Greatly. As mentioned before, it was a key tool to keep our ideation and collaboration process vibrant between teams during the pandemic. Even now, it really helps us a lot to keep aligned between remote teams.

It is mostly used on new projects or when debugging cross teams services and processes

If you need a tool to collaborative with remote teams and also with diverse teams, this is a pretty good tool. I remember participating in design sprints sessions in our office and when the pandemic came we had to migrate to do those sessions remotely. This tool really helped to keep the same spirit of the onsite sessions.

I'd be careful not to use as a silver bullet for teams communication, it can be costly and difficult to standardize formats between teams.
