Overall Satisfaction with Miro
We use Miro in research for several purposes: Designing user journeys, facilitating workshops with stakeholders, organizing information to centralize knowledge before a research initiative, and analyzing results (for instance, affinity diagramming). Miro is very practical and easy to use. I, for instance, am a big fan of spreadsheets to systematize findings. Still, I use Miro's “paste as sticky notes” functionality to make it accessible and easily consumed by other roles within the company (mostly Product Managers, Product Designers, and UX Researchers).
Pros
- Convert content from spreadsheet cells into individual sticky notes.
- Clustering based on tags or users.
- Diagramming
Cons
- A sort of "formatting pencil" for sticky notes where I select the look I want from one note and "paste" the formatting to another.
- Bulk changes - E.g. change entire look of a complex diagram.
- Embedded Miroverse, more easily accessible from a (+) sign.
- Allows remote work.
- Saves time (virtual workshops take less time in logistics like writing, moving sticky notes, etc.).
- Democratised knowledge.
Recording videos explaining what I've designed. This has helped a lot ofpeople gain context whitout me having to repeat the explanation.
No, I still use the same tool set
It has allowed our group to work fully online. The fact that it has comments tools has allowed teams from different time zones to work async on the same board.
The availability of widgets and tools, the flow of movement, and the general user experience are much more delightful.
