Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Miro is a great tool to collaborate among colleagues, we use it for running brainstorming sessions, or any creative problem-solving dynamics where multiple people can share their thoughts and make suggestions.
For Product Management, I use Miro to construct my roadmap as it is very visual and easy for others to understand the scope and time of projects. It is also a great tool for Benchmark, where I can easily add screenshots and make comments.
We also use it for the Retrospective of the Squad, where we all pitch in on how our last sprint was... There are so many useful templates for it.
  • Collaboration
  • Flow charts
  • Templates
  • Post-it/Comments
  • Latest Updates: get notified on where people have edit boards
  • Text Sizing: sometimes it's hard to get a good font size as it tends to adapt automatically
  • Maybe Miro could be a plug in, where you can capture information from different pages you need to summarize or "copy/paste"
  • Increased the backlog on the team with new ideas from our brainstorms in Miro
  • Improved productivity on Product Team, where we can collaborate across different teams and products
Miro has been essential for workers to collaborate on new projects, we are a remote software developer team and Miro is part of our day-to-day activities, from Roadmap building to Retrospective Meetings.
As we are starting a new project and want the team to give their inputs using a "safe space" so anyone can share their thoughts, worries, and ideas, we use Miro for that.
I believe Miro is a more universal tool, providing us with tools that we can have for specific products, but in a more versatile sense, for example: Easy Retro, where we can do our Retro but not our roadmap visualization.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro is a great tool to collaborate with your team, allowing people to share ideas in private mode (or not). There are lots of templates for Retrospective meetings, which can keep the team motivated.
I love to use Miro to map user flows, it is very easy to add screenshots and showcase the user journey, adding attention points or where we can evolve.
I also use Miro for my roadmap management, where I can easily add new projects and move deadlines, sharing it with the leadership.

It's not the ideal tool for describing new Projects, writing a PRD for example. I would have a link for detailed information in Miro.
