Overall Satisfaction with Miro
I am a lean-agile coach and I use Miro for everything now. My Miro account is basically my portfolio of training and coaching materials as well as my ideation tool for workshops. One of the largest efforts I've utilized Miro for is OKR rollouts. OKRs alignment takes a lot of horizontal (and vertical) space and is not at all suited for PowerPoint. I have build large training classes that utilize frames and I play the training as if it is a PowerPoint deck.
- Presentation
- Collaborative ideation (whiteboarding)
- Infinite canvas that no Microsoft product can handle
- Starter Templates
- AI integration
- I always try to start with a template, but often can't find something that really matches what I need
- Maybe add more to the Kanban tools or make a special Kanban, but we could use nested cards (to represent hierarchies such as Epic-Feature-Story-Task levels)
- My main customer, the Veteran's Administration is blocking Miro on their firewall (but Mural is not blocked)
- Very much improved productivity
- Helps me start new work that is creative--MS products put into some kind of 'analysis paralysis'
Collab works, but it requires repeated 10m of Miro training before getting into a real collab session. I try to present, facilitate and curate content when it makes sense. What I mean is that if I feel like it will still work, I just present and take notes for the audience--for example, in a small retrospective.
Mural (good)
MS Whiteboard (sucks)
