Overall Satisfaction with Miro
We use Miro for all kinds of remote rituals and meetings: - OKR discussions - Team tetrospectives - Product discovery sessions - Meeting agenda + meeting sections to navigate while the host is sharing the screen and the topics are being covered - General brainstorms + collecting and organizing thoughts. It allows us to keep a history of what we did and grow the same boards over time. It's also interesting to see how powerful the tool can be in the hands of our designers when they create beautiful and functional templates as a workspace for us to immerse on.
Pros
- Collecting and organizing thoughts for groups of literally any size, first with post-it placement, then grouping, then maybe voting
- Growing and iterating on the same board without the need to create new ones for the same topic
Cons
- Considering the amazingly beautiful layouts I have seen designers in my organization create, I wish I could do the same without having any design talent, by using pre-made Miro templates. The current templates are functional, but lack charm!
- When there's a very large number of people in the same board and collaborators' cursors are turned on, Miro gets extremely slow, to a point where I can't even turn the cursors off, so I'm stuck. Perhaps collaborators' cursors could be automatically turned off by default after a certain number of simultaneous users?
- Miro enables remote work with real-time collaboration better than any other tool.
Miro helps us emulate the physical dynamics of being together in a room, as it supports a large number of people and lets you collaborate smoothly in real time, interacting with the same objects, without checkpoints that "save your work" like in other tools (e.g. Google Docs or Confluence).
