Miro - Collaboration at it Finest
Overall Satisfaction with Miro
We typically use Miro for brainstorming sessions, retrospective activities at the completion of sprints, process mapping and adding notes from the business to answer questions. In addition to this, we also use it for less formal things like voting exercises for employee engagement, trivia and ways to share things going on in the personal life of workers.
Pros
- Multi-User updates at the same time
- Variety of templates available for use
- Built in sticky notes, icons, shapes etc. to meet our needs
Cons
- Scrolling around still feels weird with a right click
- More choices over text size in stickies
- Room or space organization could have more flexibility
- Helps facilitate more meaningful team conversations
- We use it as Kanban board to drive faster delivery times
- Productivity is aided by the increasing library of templates so common requests do not have to be started from scratch
The feature that we most often use is the combination of voting along with the built in timers. it's a quick way to set up different survey type responses for a working team to get a pulse for how they are feeling about the current work they are doing to more significant cases when we are trying to decide on how the group should function operationally and want to make sure everyone's voice is heard.
It has helped us eliminate the use of other tools, Mural/ MS Whiteboard and focus on what actions we think it does well and transition things that belong in other tools, like formal process roadmaps into Visio. For the most part, we use it exclusively when creative collaboration is required.
- Mural and Microsoft 365
I would say on par, but a better value than Mural, hence why our company changed contracts. And, at this time, much better than Microsoft Whiteboard. With that being said, Microsoft has a lot of money to throw at it to add more features and obviously syncs with other office programs. It may be something from a feature standpoint to look at.
