Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Miro for project management, including tasks, overview, visualisation, for workshops and retrospectives and for notes. I also use it as a presentation tool and a collaborative tool within my team.
Miro helps me be organized and agile at the same time, it requires little to share, collaborate and make changes - and offers a wide range of templates and options for easy use.

Pros and Cons

Visualisation
Retrospectives
Sticky-notes for notetaking and meeting minutes
On line, real time collaboration

Pasting tables can be improved, it should be able to hold more formatting from an Excel table and requires to much formatting
Easier overview of shortcuts
Better search function when searching for appropriate templates.

Return on Investment

It has improved collaboration greatly
It is visual, yet gives room for all expected ways of learing. Giving a tailored experience based on participants learning preference.
It improves overview, as all documentation can be in Miro.

Implementation Rating

We had an in person demo from Miro, they gave us an array of examples, tips and tricks, and motivated the organisation to use it.

Ease of Integration

Some troubles with the access model, and takes a little to much time to manage.

Collaboration

It certainly has, we are spread across locations and some of us work outside of office hours. Miro gives great information via e-mail about what has happened on a board, and we are always "live" in the same version with no need to send documents back and forth.

Alternatives Considered

Microsoft Powerpoint and Microsoft Lists

Miro is a far superior tool for presentation than Microsoft Powerpoint. It offers more options, easier change and is so much more than a presentation tool. You can make changes while presenting, guide the audience, give the audience chance to vote and interact.

Miro has not got the same task functionality as Microsoft Lists, and could improve as a project management tool with expected functionalty.

Other Software Used

Microsoft 365, Microsoft Lists, Microsoft Teams

Likelihood to Recommend

Miro is incredibly well suited for workshops, retrospectives and quick notetaking. You are able to choose between an array of ready made templates, both from Miro and the Miroverse.
Miro has some more evolving to do before task management/KanBan boards have expected functionality. Also, being able to do more with your board overview in a big project, in terms of categorizing and moving boards around would be appriciated.
