Overall Satisfaction with Miro
I use it as a mixture at my current company. Mainly for retrospectives and workshops that I facilitate or support. I wanted something that enables creativity, collaboration and ease of use, and Miro ticks those boxes.
Pros
- Collaboration - having run workshops with up to 20 people, it works seemlessly.
- Ease of use - there's plenty you CAN do, but it's pretty easy to pick up and start using in some capacity (having guided through complete beginners before)
- Creative freedom - can create pretty much anything you can think of. This helps make sessions unique and engaging.
- Templates - there's almost a template for anything! Either official Miro ones, or community created ones. And hey, if you don't find one, you can make one yourself and save it as a template for others to use!
Cons
- Music - I wish there was more tracks to play or someway to add your own.
- More tools - easy to use dice roller for example, I know there's been some more tools recently but a nice dice roller would be good
- Helped us visualise some tough discussions better. Especially around planning, being able to do this visually with so many mediums has been fantastic to get everyone aligned.
- Improved engagement - especially during retrospectives, the fact anyone can use almost whatever means they want to get across their point is fantastic (gif, video, image, drawing, etc.)
The most used tools by me recently have been post-its, dot voting, voting itself, timer. All of these have their individual use case. If I had to select just one of those, it'd be the timer. Having that along with music (if wanted) to help keep conversations focused and the session on time, within the tool itself, is invaluable.
Not directly. For me I use other tools (Jira, Google Suite) for their use cases and may reference or link them in Miro but I wouldn't say it's changed things necessarily.
Having the ability to do that is great, especially the two-way sync between Jira and Miro.
