Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro for all of our journey mapping. We have also used it for strategy sessions, brain-storming sessions and different design thinking tactics. I am using Miro to lead our design thinking community of practice as well to both run the meeting and document it over time. I find Miro helpful when absorbing lots of information over time as a place to brain dump and later sort and ingest the information in a way that captures thoughts and content, later turning them into insights!

Pros

  • Journey Mapping
  • Brainstorming
  • Data Dumping and Organizing

Cons

  • I am struggling with organization right now in creating a source of truth for all journey maps.
  • Change management is hard- many team members resist using this tool. I'm not sure the wish here but I wish it were easier to adopt across teams.
  • It takes a lot of manual work and moves to get my miro boards to a presentable format. It might be helpful to translate miro boards into decks or more consumable content.
  • Transferring real time data into journey maps- this may be a feature I just don't have access to yet.
  • I am excited to start using the copilot in Miro!
  • Improved productivity with brainstorming and journey mapping sessions
  • Ability to convert working sessions to virtual quickly without losing the impact.
  • Reduced costs of traveling in person for workshops.
People are more willing to participate in journey mapping sessions and workshops if offered virtually, especially with many employees working primarily from home. Miro makes it easy and even fun to hold these sessions virtually.
Figma seemed to have better organization and demo opportunities but was way harder to onboard employees.

Do you think Miro delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did Miro live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Miro go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro is a great tool when absorbing and having to make sense of lots of data and content and later organize into a story, journey or insights. I use Miro for journey mapping, personas creation, brainstorming, design thinking frameworks/sessions and even to lead and document virtual meetings to make them interactive. I love using Miro and am excited to start using the co-pilot feature as well to add more efficiency to the organizing to insights process!
