Miro has changed how we do creative work.
Overall Satisfaction with Miro
Our firm designs and fabricates large-scale sculptures and museum exhibits for clients around the world. We generate concepts, pitch them to clients, move designs through detailed phases, and fabricate and install them. We use Miro for the earlier stages of a project, which is highly collaborative. We create mood boards, add labels, sketch right on the Miro board, drop in renderings, and pull together presentations.
Pros
- Collaborative sketching and placement of reference images.
- Producing clean PDF presentations from a messy ideation process.
- It allows us to present to a client, and if there are questions, we can sketch right in the presentation.
- When we are rushing to pull together a presentation, multiple people are working simultaneously on different parts of it.
Cons
- When we sketch images, Miro defaults to grouping the sketches with that image, w, which is frustrating.
- The PDF export option could use better control over resolution and compression.
- In the tablet version, Miro defaults so that the stylus always sketches. But this makes it hard to pick up objects and move them around.
- Reduced project completion time.
- Greater collaboration between all team members, especially remote.
- Ability to involve clients in the ideation process.
This has been the most significant benefit of using Miro. We have used physical whiteboards and developed a company culture where anyone can jump up and modify the group drawings. Still, with our team spread across multiple states, and even a few other countries, Miro has let us carry that culture forward and make it even more extensive. With Miro, two or more people can sketch simultaneously, whereas with the physical whiteboard, they can get in each other's way.
