Low effort, maximum results

I mostly use miro in our sprint retrospective. I am the scrum master in my team. The board has allowed me to facilitate much more flexible retros, and the team has engaged well with it.

We use mostly stickies, arrows, tables, and the voting feature. Typically, I prepare some prompts on the board and lock them before the retro begins.

We typically use miro in hybrid meetings: half of the attendees are virtual, and half are physically present. Both virtual and physical attendees collaborate on the board during the meeting. I also present the board to a TV in our meeting room.

I also appreciate how easy it is to make something look good. Automatic arrow snaps and intuitive alignment are invaluable to me.

I have considered using miro in our standup. For this, I would rely on the Jira integration. We are using an old version of Jira server which I find clumsy. I think the flexibility of miro would be much more valuable as a scrum board in our standups. My main hesitation is that I would not want the miro board to become out of sync with Jira. In this instance, if something matches my Jira query, I want it to automatically appear on my Jira board. I am happy to juggle the tasks once they are visible on the board.

Miro has been a great tool for our online collaboration. We work hybrid, and most of our meetings have virtual and physical attendees. With Miro, everyone is able to contribute in realtime, and there has been a great engagement. I think it is even better than a real whiteboard in the room.
