Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Typically, I use Miro as a space to explore a problem space or think and plan out a piece of work or presentation. For problem exploration, I use Miro to build out a set of research questions, and then create frames to collate the research that I do and then synthesize it. Works very effectively for that. I would then use Miro to think through the implications of that research, and plan out a storyline for a presentation. Because it is a non-linear space, it is particularly effective for this, as you can think expansively. That love that about Miro. You've just got to stay on top of it to keep things tidy and in order, because things can get messy if you aren't careful. But Miro has some real neat ways to help you organise content, which really helps. Overall, it is an amazing tool that I could live without.
- Importing data from excel and turning it into post its
- Organising your post it notes
- Really helps with making sense of data and content. The ability to move things around is really powerful
- Super helpful with planning and thinking things through
- More colours for post it notes
- More colours for tags
- More design control so you can really amp up the look and feel of your boards
- Main one would be improved personal productivity
- Ability to run workshops - particularly those that are online or hybrid
- Clear thinking = quicker return on investment
This is where Miro really shines - it enables people to collaborate super effectively. As it is relatively easy to use, most people can just pick it up and run with it in a workshop or meeting, making it much easier to collaborate. It is amazing the impact it has had in my organisation - particularly during COVID.
I use Figma a lot. It is definitely more powerful. And just gives you more control, which I love. But for the use cases that I use Miro for, Miro is probably easier. Typically I'll start in Miro, and then flip to Figma. I've not used Figjam too much. That is probably closer to Miro. But I don't think it is as feature rich as Miro.
