Overall Satisfaction with Miro

As a fully remote company, my organization relies on Miro to collaborate (internally and with external customers), organize ideas and is critical to drive progress. As a project manager, Miro is my teams go-to for timelines, workflows, planning and collaborative exercises, such as retrospectives and brainstorming on projects. It is also utilized for strategic planning, quarterly planning and helping visualize any and all things (i.e.: what do our current meetings look like, and what do we want them to look like?)

The whole organization utilizes Miro for various use cases, i.e., our design team, product team, etc.

I could not imagine a remote world without Miro - it is one of my main tools and the biggest benefit is, you can customize it to be/do whatever you need.

Pros

  • Workflow diagramming
  • Project timelines
  • Brainstorming (i.e.: strategic, quarterly planning)
  • Retrospectives
  • Annual planning
  • Org Charts

Cons

  • More workflow templates (limited, even in Miroverse)
  • Improved AI, i.e.: uploading a list and giving directions and it creating a diagram for me, i.e.: an org chart)
  • Zooming functionality - when I use certain templates, I loose the sight of key info when I Zoom out (i.e.: recently did an org chart and needed to see titles, when I zoomed out enough to screenshot it for a deck, I lost the titles).
  • Exporting! the best option now is downloading as an image, which is okay but can loose quality when pasted
  • Reduced project planning phase by simplifying/consolidating tools
  • Allowed us to visualize current and desired meeting state, allowing use to reduce meetings by 50%, which equates to hundreds of thousands of dollars in saved wages
  • Easy to organize retrospectives, allowing a space for employee feedback and engagement to increase employee satisfaction and engagement
Miro is integrated with Notion - our main project management tool, and Slack. These integrations were easy to use and allow us to consolidate key platforms and access information quickly.
As a fully remote company, with workers over the country; Miro is a critical aspect of our company's success. Without Miro, our organization would have no place to collaborate on ideas in an easy way. Miro allows users to work in real-time on the same material, OR, for a single/group of users to create a proposal and share it out for reaction. Miro is used across 90% of my project management teams work.
