Collaboration done right
Overall Satisfaction with Miro
As a product team, we mainly use Miro as a collaboration and alingment tool for product development. When ideating on potential problems or opportunities to pursue in our company, Miro is frequently our go-to tool to organise team workshops, not only involving our squad members (Product Managers, Engineers, Data analysts, UX researchers, Product Designers ) but also important stakeholders and collaborators from other departments (Operations, Marketing, Legal, etc).
Pros
- Quick and easy onboarding - the learning curve is smooth
- Great offer of tools for facilitating workshops (timer, voting, clustering)
- Continuous improvement of existing features
Cons
- Topic clustering has been improving, but sometimes it's not easy to understand the reasoning behind Miro's decisions
- Searching for content is really challenging (within a board or across boards)
- Organizing boards into projects and sorting out permissions is a bit confusing
- I believe it has great impact on breaking silos between departments
- It helps with transparency and visibility to team members and key stakeholders
- Allows efficient collaboration without the need of travelling or meeting in a specific physical space
I use many of them daily with my teams. Doing retrospectives with team members is really easy, for example. I can organise the content in boards, hide and display them whenever I want, ask them to jump in and add their thoughts while I put a timer (with or without music, depends on the mood) and I'm able to cluster their thoughts and quickly go through the input with them, making the whole ceremony more efficient
Yes, for good. We use Miro as a hub for finding relevant documents, to discuss roadmap decisions, to map and analyse competitive benchmarks. It's much easier to create user flow diagrams in Miro than in Figma, for example, so designers and other product and engineering functions take advantage of that.
