Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Miro primarily to explore current and future user flows including visuals, and to mock up simple visual updates to screens. My team also uses Miro for sprint retros.

Pros and Cons

Pros

when mocking up layered visuals/wireframes with text blocks, multiple images combined, notes, Miro is much easier than doing this in Google Sheets or Figma
when building user flows, Miro is easy to build simple workflows
navigating around your board & zooming in and out is easy and the most helpful piece compared to going through concepts in a doc or Slides

Cons

im not sure if it is a me issue or not, but some more consistency when adding screenshots, I find im adding a bunch and they are all similar size/ board zoom needs, then all of the sudden I am adding more and they are way smaller or way bigger and I dont notice until I go back to look at the previous section and everything is different sizes
easier ways to change the formatting/ color / etc of multiple elements at once
ability to have more cohesive process flows when desired, closer to what you could build on visio

Return on Investment

I have started many roadmaps and timelines in Miro, indirectly impacting feature delivery timelines and ARR for our business.

very user friendly IMO, especially in building wireframes/updates to existing screens with multiple image layers, text blocks, callouts. easy to get a good-enough-to-get-your-point-across-crystal-clear wireframe in seconds

Tool Usage

I use Miro primarily to build current and future user flows with visuals, then walk through these user flows with different stakeholder groups for alignment.

Reduced Tool Overload

not really, I have tried to move things out a docs or Slides into Miro but end up needing to build most things in both places for different audiences, but use Miro as my brainstorming playground.
