Overall Satisfaction with Miro

I use Miro extensively for many of our team's Agile rituals from Retrospectives, project whiteboarding, and planning. I also use it for team meetings, brainstorming and fun icebreakers! Finally, I use it to replicate some of my paper templates I have to digitize them and enable team collaboration.
  • Collaboration
  • Intuitive interface
  • Look and feel is approachable for new users
  • Sometimes the text tool is frustrating, where the font will not get large enough. Changing the width of a text box is also frustrating as it will change the font size
  • Sharing boards when a member of multiple "projects" in Miro is confusing.
  • I wish the left panel listing the projects and teams was more customizable. and put teams I am a member of at the top of the list!
  • Improved participation in workshops and working sessions due to the easy-to-learn interface
  • Helps provide consistent agile rituals across the teams
  • Easy to share planning with leaders who struggle with spreadsheet updates
I think we should have planned out better the projects and teams in Miro for better consistency. It is like the wild west over here with every group implementing their structure any-which-way. This makes finding and browsing existing boards more challenging.

I do like the integration with our single sign-on, which gives us confidence that the platform is approved for use
Miro is a key tool with our remote teams. We have always had some degree of remote workers at Cisco and in the post-lockdown world that is only increased. Having a shared Miro board is the closest thing available to a physical whiteboard with stickies.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Miro's feature set?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Any Agile environment is a no brainer. Miro + Jira is the power couple. Meeting facilitators will also find great use in non-Agile settings.

I really like the integration with Jira and need to utilize it more often.

I wish I could save custom templates. I have found that I create a template for the team to use and need to save different versions for each user so they can have consistent boards. Making a custom template would be a much better solution to this.
