Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Use it to design and execute strategic workshops, interact with customers as a consultant to drive delivery towards outcomes using agile methodologies. Create central visualization of artifacts to drive decisions and shared understanding of concepts for effective delivery. Use it to also ideate solutions after agreeing on the problem we wish to solve. Use many of the templates for workshop practices like those from the Open Practice Library site.
Pros
- Ease of using the stickies feature
- The lefthand tool bar and it's customizations for what is most used by an individual user
- Internal and external teams that can also be secured at an access level and the backend data
- Flexibility to add boards to projects for better organization
- Being able to create enterprise templates and team templates
Cons
- Search speed for boards. takes a long time when you have a LOT of boards in the team
- Some sort of homepage that is individual that can leverage a favorites across my many teams
- The speed at which templates are filtered through the search take a long time
- Want to be able to search across teams that I'm a part of
- The project had loose objectives that were not easy to determine if we accomplished them. Being a remote team, using Miro to more clearly define what those objectives were and collaborate on them together allowed us to better focus and accomplish more.
- After an onsite workshop, we digitized the results in Miro. This created a talking point for us to see the progress we were making towards our desired goal, and capture realtime improvements and changes to the process. We were able to identify a midpoint gain of 1 day saved and by the end of the engagement we had saved 11 days of people time. This was seen through continued updates to our digital version of the workshop artifact and metrics capture. It also allowed easy copying of the visual into PowerPoint slides.
- Used the open ended Miro boards to support running group learning calls and retrospectives all in 1 place so that anybody who was unable to attend 1 meeting, could catch up easily.
- The hardship in finding boards quickly makes it an unusable tool when thinking about an example of what I am attempting to discuss in a call to cross-pollinate ideas between teams/dept. This is because I cannot bring up my example in a quick manner even when knowing the name of the board.
Only in that it has allowed for easier sharing of information and creating spaces for people to collaborate in a more visual and creative manner. Which, to me, is an improvement over having to do so in any of the Google Suite tooling. I think it has allowed for more groups to do more creative and collaborative things in a remote setting versus having to pile it on and have on-site to accomplish the same thing. I am a believer in the speed and power of getting people physically together, but if you cannot or need to do followup activities, Miro is a great tool to achieve results.
Enterprise grade, learning curve, SSO integration, security for teams' data/boards, and number of concurrent collaborators is where Miro was able to shine and partly why we suggested it over the other tools.
