Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Miro to brainstorm, ideate, and organize ideas. We are an internal startup at a very old Fortune 500 company.

Pros and Cons

Fast brain-to-whiteboard transfer
mind mapping
templates

close to being able to use for some design tasks, but not there yet
export stickies to CSV could be a lot better
Ability to remove background from images would be nice
Mind maps are not as flexible - ex. you can't have a 2 way mind map with 2 endpoints

Return on Investment

Group brainstorm and information synthesis
Better team information sharing
Finding and mapping connections between ideas

It has definitely helped us in terms of remote collaboration! We were introduced to it by consultants we worked with and have been steadily using it ever since. We are better able, as a team, to understand systems, ideas, and information by putting it on Miro. Miro is really the jumping off point for most projects

Alternatives Considered

Lucid Visual Collaboration Suite

Miro is just easier to use and more flexible

Likelihood to Recommend

Well-suited for brainstorming, group ideation, mapping ideas and systems, and getting ideas down on "paper"

Not as appropriate for design tasks. I'll often have the information organized how I want on Miro, but then have to move to Figma or Canva to get it presentable. Also not as appropriate for data analysis which I think could be fixed with better export to CSV. It is extremely frustrating to have all of the data down on sticky notes but needing to manually re-enter onto a spreadsheet
