Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro for a few different purposes. I use Miro as a canvas for brainstorming. I collect client and market data and synthesize it for sharing with my development team. The ad hoc method of capturing the data allows me to quickly capture 'snippets' of data that I can correlate later. As a Product Development Organization, we use it for quarterly team planning. We integrate with Jira, so all teams have a view of the work upcoming in the quarter. That allows us to identify dependencies better.

Pros

  • Sticky notes for quick data collection.
  • Timers are used for timeboxing.
  • Frames to organize data.
  • Frame list on the left toolbar to quickly jump to a specific frame.
  • Intuitive ease of use. Without any instruction, I was able to use Miro in a meaningful way immediately. Miro is much easier than other whiteboarding products I've used.

Cons

  • The right-click movement seems to 'stick' for me. I would like a better method for' stopping moving' and returning to left-clicking.
  • I'm sure I could use the templates better, but I haven't found them to be as intuitive as using the left toolbar ad hoc.
  • I also use InVision, which I believe Miro has purchased. I'd love to see Miro have an easy-breezy walkthrough capability.
  • Improved productivity.
Yes. As a Product Development Organization, we use it for quarterly planning across teams. We integrate with Jira so all teams have a view of the work upcoming in the quarter. That allows us to better identify dependencies.
InVision allows quick walkthroughs to gather client input.
