Overall Satisfaction with Miro

- Software engineering designs sessions requiring diagrams and collaborative work.
- Team retrospective sessions for scrum sprints
- documentation for software architecture
- draft ideas of concepts to share with the broader team
- AWS Cloud service infrastructure diagrams
- product ideation sessions
- domain driven design, event storm sessions

Pros

  • General diagraming UI experience
  • Collaborative board meetings xperience
  • SaaS vendors integrations
  • Gadgets to improve collaborative work

Cons

  • Some sort of versioning control, maybe integrated to a git repo
  • Diagraming as a code, for easy of maintainability when documenting with Miro
  • Some kind of auto arrange diagram elements, that is smart enough to make complex diagrams look good without too much effort.
  • We keep a board for our platform domain software architecture design that is updated with all new development. With the entire design mapped and updated it is a constant source of information that saves a lot of time in explaining what is what in the solution.not sure how much it saves in time but it does.
  • The retrospective board and templates we reuse for that get the meeting going super quick and efficiently.
  • We keep a AWS diagram that is maintained and save time and help understand the complexity of the infrastructure. It also saves time by the easy to export pds doc when needed.
AWS integration needs a lot of work , but it has progressed . The resulting diagram still needs to be closer to what a human readable diagram is supposed to be. There are also many services missing from it.
Notion and Jira integrations are good enough and help me a lot.
It has impacted the business in a very positive way.
it is the go to place for remote sessions that require wide team collaboration, and also for office session, because it is easy to interact with the board and present in the meeting.
later the board is easy documentation to access as well as provide feedback and updates to the subject of the session.

Yes

Would you buy Miro again?

Yes

Miro is a natural choice for team collaboration board while working remote or even in the office.
It is where the whole team goes when collaborating on more advanced ideas as design sessions or team reviews.In many instances, the work done in a board is reused as reference, and has become documentation .
