Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Miro on several projects to create a wholistic view into requirements, User Stories, Business Processes, project scope and project timelines. Miro allows us to have one place where we can access all the diagrams, flows, and tables and not only store these details but also present and share with all the members of our projects

Pros and Cons

Pros

Navigate user journeys
collect business requirements
Collaborate with team members
One place to present everything project related

Cons

I spend a lot of time trying to align shapes and boxes. I wish there was an easier way to align shapes
When I put shapes inside of containers the alignment doesn't work as well
I wish there was a way to create a slideshow of views of the board so when presenting I can hit play and go through the different views like a slide presentation

Return on Investment

speed to complete projects
Less errors on requirements
better user adoption

Collaboration

I has had a huge impact and we use it for all of our projects to ensure we have input and collaboration from all team members. I like how we can control who sees each of the boards and how adding people to our project team allows them to see our boards without having to add them to each board

Alternatives Considered

Azure DevOps Services, Smartsheet and Microsoft SharePoint

Miro works well with each of these other apps but we use these other apps to fill the gaps that Miro doesn't currently fill.

Likelihood to Recommend

For gathering requirements and working with stakeholders there is nothing better to capture all the details and present in a way that is understandable from the technical and from the business perspective. I use Miro for my own personal planning and scheduling as well because the navigation is so easy and the amount of space I have to organize my thoughts really helps me put into a visual what I am trying to do
