Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have a hybrid team of 12 team members around the country. We use Miro for brainstorming, team activities and project retrospectives. we use Miro both during live working sessions when team members are collaborating as we take notes on the board and we also use Miro to leave feedback for eachother when we are not actively collaborating during a session.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy to use
Many existing templates to leverage
Easy to see board history and changes
Very interactive

Cons

Ability to import font files
Embedding other applications like excel
Easier to export to pdf for printing onto one page

Return on Investment

Improved collaboration
Faster turn around time
Less travel costs

Implementation Rating

Very easy to use - clear instructions and videos that teach each person how to use the various tools and functions within a Miro board with videos, written instructions and tutorials. This makes us very intuitive for each person to use the tool and makes it less burdensome for the Miro board owner

Ease of Integration

I wish Miro integrated more smoothly with: - teams I wish Miro was integrated with: 1. Outlook Emails 2. PowerPoint 3. Microsoft excel (for Miro tables)

Collaboration

As stated in the previous question, Miro has allowed my twelve person team to activist collaborate during team sessions as well as offline in between session through the live whiteboard. This has allowed us to reduce the amount of travel needed among team members because we can still effectively collaborate using the whiteboard.
