Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been using Miro for several years now, and I have almost nothing but positive things to say about it. Miro is highly suitable for planning and organizing work within distributed teams and remote settings. We utilize Miro for various purposes, including planning new projects and conducting retrospectives to review past sprints. Multiple users can collaborate in real-time, and the software performs reliably from a technical standpoint. Additionally, it receives regular and valuable updates. I can confidently recommend it.

Likelihood to Recommend

In project planning, the story mapping tool for projects and features is particularly useful. It allows us to quickly break down larger concepts and plan preliminary release versions. Our team works almost entirely remotely, but Miro enables us to be ‘present’ together on the same planning board. A proven best practice in our organization is to actively engage everyone participating in a remote meeting by setting aside a moment during the session for everyone to create sticky notes as a basis for discussion. This approach works especially well in sprint retrospectives.
