Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We've been using Miro for just over 12 months to plan and organise various projects within our marketing department. Some of these projects are digital development which work well for mapping out infrastructure while more traditional marketing projects and campaigns fit in well due to the responsive collaboration options and flexible interface.

The big benefits to using this platform has been the ability to work on visual charts and roadmaps together in a remote working setting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Collaboration with team members
Tracking multiple boards for different project types or teams
Visualization tools to make the charting process easy for anyone to use

Cons

The mobile experience could be improved upon
More media and block types when creating a board
More options to track changes and board versions

Return on Investment

Better visibility for project plans amongst senior stakeholders
Better collaboration between marketing team members
Better visibility on tasks has improved deadlines and reduced burnout

Implementation Rating

Very easy to get setup. We didn't use integrations at the start so this might have made it a more challenging process.

We took some time as a team at the start to determine how we wanted to structure and categorise the boards so that as we increased usage it was still manageable for us.

Collaboration

From using Miro we've improved our planning process massively while also strengthening our relationships within the team. With our previous solution lots of the planning work was carried out in isolation and stages. By using the Miro whiteboards we've been able to plan together and capture the full requirements of the project in one place. This ensures that tasks don't get left out which would need to be done at the last minute in the previous setup. By reducing the ad hoc tasks through better planning were seeing better efficiencies and improved morale.

Alternatives Considered

Trello and Microsoft Teams

Compared to other options Miro had a great balance of ease of use combined with advanced features that made creating boards to suit our team requirements a lot more straightforward.

Likelihood to Recommend

Miro is a relatively easy to use platform which makes using it for brainstorming projects with bigger teams very effective. I've used whiteboard platforms in the past for a similar use case but they always resulted in a colleagues struggling with the interface. Miro has always been easy to get started and new users find the interface to be very intuitive to get started with.
