Workshop tool
Overall Satisfaction with Miro
We use it daily to run workshops, map journeys, run team ways of working meetings including retros, vision and team goal sessions and also, to roadmap broader topics. The most value is when we run it for Research scoping sessions and retros because we use the various features to encourage engagement and participation (voting, countdown, AI summaries). Templates also help us group agenda items and present the miro in a way that feels partially like a presentation (so that you keep everyone focuses on the information you need them to reflect on). Within our product team, we are using it as a domain and also within teams.
Pros
- The key features that you need for group workshops are there (stickies, wireframes, countdown, voting, features to tidy up post its, tables)
- You can embed articles and documents
- The size allows you to keep building more content in e.g. monthly retros
Cons
- Embedding google sheets could really help as we like to use Miro for customer research so being able to add scores and simple formulaes
- Tables are poor design to work with (quite buggy)
- Icons are very limited (AI builder would be great)
- Other features embedded like giphy, videos that can run automatically
- Knowing if a 'follower' or 'user' has become inactive and isn't engaging
- Once you add enough data, Miro starts to crash so for journey mapping, we are now looking at other tools to replace Miro
- team efficiency - one place for all content
- team engagement - ways to share and build on each other's opinions
- creative design - templates help to level up outputs
Voting, countdown, stickies are my huge win! I also love the frames to box in content and also 'lock' so that users cant alter designs. I should play around with other features but never make the time. A list of 1 min video you could scroll through or click when you see the features would be great
I no longer use jamboard and use Google Slides less as a space for bigger projects with lots of content. It also means we dont have to find a 'whiteboard' solution for remote work.
They do provides the solution for bringing qual and quant together and in a way that is structured. It also works with back end data like Snowflake and is adaptive. You also dont feel like you're having to zoom in and out in varous ways to read the content. The others arent easily compared as in some ways, they compliment Miro. If i wanted leadership to engage in a story, i wouldn't use Miro, i would use Google Slides because Miro would feel more user-effort heavy.
