Powerful Collaboration Tool for Hybrid Teams

We use Miro for all kinds of things, including project management, presentation development, facilitated sessions, processing / synthesizing information, etc. Increasingly Miro has become a core tool for day-to-day team collaboration, especially for teams that are spread across multiple offices / regions. Thanks to Miro, even co-located teams depend far less on physical print-outs and mark-ups, because it's much easier to share, review, comment, and iterate on this platform.

I do a lot of client-facing work, and the Miro tools we use to gather and display their feedback, simple things like stickies, comments, and sketching, have had a huge impact. When we present in Miro, sometimes people love to directly participate in the board. Other times we record notes live on screen, and it makes people feel heard in an immediate sense. They can see their feedback appearing on screen. I also have clients who prefer to get an overview of content in a meeting and then revisit it later on their own to leave detailed comments asynchronously. The flexibility and different tools available allow people to choose what works best for them.

While Miro is a super useful tool and it keep getting better, people still use a ton of different tools. What Miro really did for us is provide a "neutral" space for people to share progress generated with all of the different tools in one place. It's also made it a lot easier for teams to track the evolution of work over time. Rather than versions being buried in server folders, everything is spread out for review at any time.
