Usability

Miro is pretty well designed and is for the most part easy to use, especially if you're somewhat tech savvy or technically minded. Miro does a good job of keeping the user interface simple so as to not overwhelm users too much, so most people should be able to find their way around the tool.

Tool Usage

I think Miro's massive catalog of templates helps me a lot as it saves me from the doom of starting from a blank canvas. I'm also able to use it as a way to communicate some of my ideas to some of my colleagues in other teams to make sure we're on the same page.

Reduced Tool Overload

Over the last few years or so, Miro has seemingly added more and more capabilities where they were lacking before. This has meant that where before we had to use a different tool for technical flow charts or keeping track of projects, we can now do that easily within Miro. This means that Miro has helped consolidate our tech stack.

Likelihood to Recommend

Miro has been great at allowing us as a distributed product team to be able to collaborate on research, designs, workshops, team ceremonies and product planning. It's also a great tool that helps facilitate better communication between teams for example when you need to explain a complex concept or idea, it's much easier done when you can illustrate it.

I wouldn't use Miro for things like high fidelity designing or prototyping, or the final place for project management as there are better tools that specialise in those areas.
