Overall Satisfaction with Miro

We use Miro primarily for collaboration in a remote working environment. It has proven effective as a platform for getting ideas from multiple individuals, identifying trends, and categorizing the broader concepts exposed through exercises of that nature. It has also proven an effective tool for collaborating across disciplines and helping to visually align a product roadmap with a technical roadmap. It can also be leveraged effectively, creating point-in-time touchstones that represent the collective thinking of a point in time. If there were one thing I wished it would do more effectively, it would be to create a more fluid technical diagramming experience so it could serve as a one-stop shop rather than importing images from other more effective diagramming tools. I feel it has enhanced my work experience, and I view it almost as necessary for an environment that operates as a remote workforce.
  • Collaboration across teams.
  • Organizing disparate materials in one single place.
  • Creating a touchstone for point in time thinking and showing the evolution of that over time.
  • Diagramming features are clunky and lack aesthetics.
  • Integrations to some external platforms like Jira could be improved upon.
  • Slack integration could offer more useful features.
  • Less scope creep on efforts.
  • End product that is closer to original intent.
  • More time focusing on work and less time having to remember intention.
While there are many supported integrations into Miro, my experience has been a little hit or miss with them. Issues with maintaining a logged-in status on the external integrations have, at times, made them cumbersome to manage. While some are rich in features, others seem fairly simplistic and offer little in the way of tangible value.
We are an entirely remote workforce, and Miro has really shined as an effective replacement for in-person collaboration. We have even had team offsite gatherings where we have still chosen to use Miro even though we were in person together. It offers convenience and creates a lasting whiteboard experience, eliminating the need for wasting paper and markers and having to remember to take a picture of everything when you are finished.

Miro is a fantastic too for discovery and framing exercises. It is highly effective at illustrating how concepts are thought of over a period of time. It is also very effective at organizing material from multiple external sources into an efficient at a glance view. It allows for an easily understandable common use tool that can be leverage by both technical and non technical professionals as well.
