Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro for high-level cross-team planning sessions (after the roadmap is done in Product Board) and for brainstorming sessions. I absolutely love Miro for brainstorming sessions; their Mind map is perfect for that. We also use it for brainstorming and mapping ideas and initiatives. We also sometimes use it for conversations with others; it makes it easier to reach the productive point of the conversation.

Pros

  • The whiteboard functionality helps with brainstorming product ideas and being able to share the view with others for comments.
  • Variety of templates that caters to all business use cases.
  • Miro is amazing for Product related architects. For example, I use it to map user stories, impact mapping, and visualize the product backlog.

Cons

  • No log with the list of changes made.
  • You can’t always tell who added what to a project/board, so it can be confusing to know what was changed/by whom.
  • The controls can be frustrating and there is no explanation of the controls.
  • Increased productivity.
  • Increased collaboration.
  • Increased the documentation of complex process and product flows.
We have integrated Miro with platforms that are being used at Du, including Google Drive, Dropbox, Trello, and Jira, among others. I am not personally involved in the integrations, but I have found there to be no problems. In talking to the architects responsible for the integrations, they informed no it was pretty straightforward and required no coding or technical expertise.
Miro's online whiteboard has made collaboration across the business so much easier. The ability to facilitate remote collaboration and team brainstorming sessions has enabled us to work together in real time, whether they are in different locations or working remotely. The interface is intuitive and so easy to use and allows us to share the completed project. The online whiteboard has improved our ability to brainstorm effectively and helped us cut down on follow-up calls by 20%. The bonus of using Miro is integration into existing tools that we use here, like Jira. This helps us keep a seamless collaboration and communication across different platforms.

Making a Product Roadmap - I also used Miro for a product roadmap when I needed to figure out how to successfully develop and execute a product action plan. After creating the business plan and product vision board, I created a product roadmap to visualize and prioritize feature development. One of my favorite features of their user experience is the seamless and easy way to move elements around on the whiteboard. Everything snaps into place.
