Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Miro is used by most of the product organization to help with discovery work. I tend to use miro as a way to organize my thoughts around different processes, opportunities, etc. This helps me share my ideas and feels like permanent or formal than when I share my thoughts via powerpoint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

collaboration
flexibility
visuals

Cons

Text boxes sometimes are sized in strange ways
Sometimes when I'm in a board with a lot of people, things are not locked in place so someone will move stuff around that should stay put. I don't know if there is a way to remind people to lock items?
I really enjoy the integration with teams, but if I'm not signed in on the browser then my name doesn't show up on my mouse.

Usability

I think it is very intuitive. I have never taken a training or watched videos on how to use Miro. I just watched what others were doing in meetings and was able to pick it up very easily.

Tool Usage

I think my most used tools are the timer, sticky notes, text boxes, shapes, and the arrows that allow me to connect everything together.

Reduced Tool Overload

I think it reduces the amount of Microsoft products that I use, but I still need them. I think I really focus on it as a whiteboard space more than anything else.

Likelihood to Recommend

I work fulltime remote with mostly other hybrid individuals. Miro allows me to collaborate visually. If I was in the office I could use paper or a white board. This makes me feel like I am able to contribute better in brainstorming conversations. I think it can be helpful in person because your work cannot be lost or misplaced.
