Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We usually use Miro for: - quick remote collaborative sessions - remote or hybrid Workshops - Benchmarks / desk research - Foundational analysis setup It's mostly for "quick and dirty stuff" like we used to do on foamcore with postits and sharpie. The we usually switch to other platforms for condensing results.

Pros and Cons

Pros

seamless notetaking
Managing big boards with lots of contents and images
low learning curve for people new to the tool

Cons

flexibility in the design of boards / postits
lack of personalization
limited free boards to start with for external contributors who want to start using the tool

Return on Investment

reduced the amount of postits used
reduced the need of a physical space in the office to create project boards
reduced the need to be in the same space and be in the office to collaborate
Increased the safety for all project contents present on physical boards, which are password protected now.
Negative: I personally miss physical interaction with team and boards around the project space. I dream about a project space where walls can quickly switch into non invasive display (e-ink like) where people can interact with Miro boards in a more tangible fashion.

Collaboration

We started using Miro more heavily during the pandemic. In a few words: it made remote collaboration possible, it was form e the go to tool for collaborative and cocreation session and for sketching and organising design ideas and concept with the team. It made better communication with clients and external stakeholders possible. And now, even though we can go back in a physical office, it stays. Most of teams prefer it, and won't go back to paper postits and physical boards, if not for personal notes.

Alternatives Considered

FigJam and Mural

Mural is also a great tool, but less adopted by the mass, so Miro naturally is the first option to collaborate within and outside the organization.

FigJam is great: - If your organization provides you just with Figma Suite - if you often have to migrate contents from Miro to Figma

But in General Miro is more intuitive, immediate and quick. This is what you need when taking notes: seamless actions, almost invisible now that I am a fluent user.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's quick and easy.

The best tool for live notetaking and collaboration over a remote call.
The content captured is very easily manageable, and the tool is quick in refreshing contents across board contributors.

I also use it, in case of stable connection, for live notetaking during qualitative interviews, also sharing the screen with participants to engage them in interactive activities.
