Miro really changed the way that we work on remote work. We are able to concentrate a lot of information in the same place in an easy way to find and use. We can use different templates to adapt each step in our process. The integration with Microsoft Teams helped a lot in meeting facilitations and we could show the results to a big audience. Miro became a key tool in our team and I'm really glad to use it in a daily basis.
Sometimes manage the licences is not too easy, even for just one meeting I need to create a new user to explore the full potential of Miro which is not so optimal for our company.
We can agroupe all information for differents meetings in the same place, easy to access that later. The major point for me with Miro is faciliting a remote PI planning, is much more efficiency our remote version than the in person version that we used to have, thanks to Miro.
I love the ability to whiteboard ideas with my team with the recent work way and people working from home. This tool allows us to brainstorm and whiteboard, workflow, and process changes.
I don't see much downside to Miro. I wish we could build and save our own templates. Another feature: with one click of a button, whatever we built in Miro could be transferred to Powerpoint. Other than that, I like using this tool a lot and i find it very helpful.
Miro is helping teams collaborate while working remotely. It is essential for my team to have a platform where we can brainstorm and all participate in the development of the tools, process or dev.
The live updating of the board, how you be editing it together.
Sometimes the frames do not snap to the grid and align neatly.
Developing ideas together as a team. Brainstorming ideas and then easily sharing those. Bringing people together to have a quick discussion and then each can continue to edit the board on their own timeline.
Miro acts as a top-of-the-line real-time collaborative whiteboard. Setting it up and getting it fired up is menial, with a helpful desktop app available. I have used it to brainstorm, design, and manage processes for multiple areas within the company, with great success!
Miro has 2 important areas of improvement: free-hand drawing and auto-snapping. Diagramming can be a painful chore if you get to a too-big idea or logic, and the less-than-stellar flexibility of components (arrows, specially) can be a bit cumbersome.
Miro helps me to break down big tasks into smaller, digestible chunks.
A few things can not be explained in words and need pictorial representation. Miro is a great tool to expedite the same. It provides a blank canvas to paint around and put your thoughts to life.
It will be a great feature if we can present the miro board in slide mode with some basic effects. Sometimes you end up having a complex miro board, and when you try to explain someone, it's quite hard for someone to follow around. It would be great if we had a slide-type feature where some part comes first, followed by others. Additionally, the icon library can be enhanced.
I can put complex journeys into a straightforward pictorial/graphical representation. It makes me and my team's life easy, and Miro is my go-to tool for any brainstorming activity.
It's easy! To begin you don't have to think about how to use Miro, it's easy to understand, paralleling a physical world 'how to' with Miro. For example, you take a sticky and put your thought on it. The process of moving, coping, and writing with Miro follows basic interface interaction processes, so no learning there either.
With so many Miro boards created by myself and others in my team, it is sometimes a hassle to find the write board, due to bad titles people have used, the board being created long ago and you forgot it even existed.
sharing among teammates
Our team has tried many different interactive platforms for collaboration but Miro's seemingly infinite workspace has really been transformative for us as a team. In addition, I have found Miro to be incredibly useful for my own mindmapping, brainstorming, and 'tidbit' collecting. For the most part, if you need something, there is a template for it, but the golden ticket is that you always have a completely blank canvas to create something from scratch if need be.
I have had some issues with losing content through "blips". Needing to backup to a local drive is a bit of a challenge and not something intuitive given that the interaction is cloud-based. This has only resulted in a major issue once when I lost an entire board, but I have had other instances as well - most recently when a colleague accidentally deleted a section of a board we were collaborating on and then was unable to undo the action.
Capturing those wild thought patterns that occur when trying to problem-solve or when you hit a creative streak. It is so easy to lose some of the more tangential ideas that may not be relevant today but could be useful to jot down for later. Having everything in one location in miro is easier to track back to than a traditional journal. It also has really helped our team work collaboratively in a virtual environment. We also work globally and have worked through a meeting and then shared the miro board with colleagues in other timezones to comment on/continue adding to during their workday.

While miro is an excellent remote virtual platform, it is difficult to find a con in a product you like. However at times it may take new users some time to get onboarded.
Remote collaboration. Virtual workshops.
Miro allows team members to instantly contribute ideas and share them throughout the organisation as a living document. It enables projects to be documented digitally and is a great way to transfer knowledge visually.
I would like to see the ability to export to Excel file format from notes and tables. Also, it would be good to have the ability to create a presentation format or mode based on the boards made and export it to pdf or ppt format.
Ability to quickly visualise product requirements and validate with stakeholders
It is a very intuitive system, simple to use the basics, where I have already started sharing a drawing and having interaction with people from the work group with great ease.
I think it would be interesting to have a presentation mode where the zoom-in areas of interest could be pre-programmed, making it easier to navigate during a presentation, i.e., just by clicking on a certain "button" the area that should be explained becomes evident in a large size on the screen.
When I need to explain a complex problem and start with small details, I usually have trouble getting to the big picture, in MIRO it was very easy to do the explanation because I started showing the big picture and then started the detailed explanation in each piece according to the customer's curiosity. It is a less structured presentation, but with a better level of customer satisfaction.
