Miro for Digital Innovation

As a Digital Innovation Manager, Miro has become an essential day to day tool for me.

I use it for everything from scrapbooking and scribbling ideas down, through to workshops, brainstorming sessions and journey mapping.

It's become more necessary for me than the likes of PowerPoint and Word in my day to day workflow. The ability to co-author and collaborate in real time, and I'm excited to get tucked in to the AI prototyping tools in the near future.

Clocks, timers and widgets!

It sounds super small, but these are invaluable in keeping workshops and sessions to time when I'm facilitating. Workshops are super easy to run for longer, so having clear indicators on screen is very helpful.

For now, Miro has been an addition to our platform.

Microsoft offer a whiteboarding capability, but it is far too simplistic for our needs. We have it, as it's part of O365, but we don't use it in my team!

We also use Figma, and given the nature of that tool in particular, we wouldn't look to consolidate at this time.

Confluence is our tool for documentation, and whilst Miro can do documentation itself now, we wouldn't look to replace Confluence in our workflows as this ties neatly with Jira, which is where our developers work.
