Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It addresses quick collaboration. I love that you can throw ideas on the board at any time, and people can view it regardless of role or time zone. I am an Architect and work with other offices frequently, so it allows me to work with other offices even when we are on different schedules. I like that you can put as much on the board as you want and make it as organized as you want, but you can also just use it as a messy pin-up space.

Pros and Cons

Miro does a good job of snapping to grids and allowing you to organize your thoughts in a clean way
Miro allows you to upload a lot of images and text without it slowing down too much.
Miro does a good job of giving you multiple options for annotating - from free hand sketching to post-its to hard shapes.

There are some times that we put too many images on the Miro Board and it slows it down.
I wish there was a recommended scale to use. I have noticed each board I use, the scales vary so drastically, I never know the best place to start.
I wish it had the ability to pdf portions of the board into presentation format.
I wish there was a search function to help you find text or images as sometimes we forget where we dropped something.

Return on Investment

I believe we have had an increased collaboration through Miro.
We have also had an easier time adding and changing team members using Miro as the base for team members to go to.
Miro makes it easier to find things than most other software.

Collaboration

Miro has allowed us to collaborate in a really easy way. We can all throw ideas on the board in different formats and communicate through the board. I could not imagine doing a new project without it. It also allows us to easily track our progress. It is a great tool for new projects.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend it highly to colleagues. It is a great way to collaborate virtually and gives you a place to go back and look at all your past ideas in one large area. We often make presentations and when new team members join, we often send them to the Miro Board instead of recommending opening up all of the past presentations, as it is a faster way to see a lot of information in a timeline format. I do not think it is appropriate for all clients, however, as sometimes you do need a presentation, clean format and Miro does not seem as good at generating that.
