Miro

Miro Business - Enterprise  is widely used for its basic user-friendly interface, allowing users to get started with little or no learning curve. The drag and drop functionality enables users to retrieve items from templates easily. It facilitates real-time collaboration over multiple teams to create, comment, and edit boards simultaneously. Within the organization, it is used for visual project management, Kanban, Gantt, and agile ceremonies such as retrospectives, sprint planning, and road mapping. Additionally, it is useful for brainstorming and collaborative brainstorming sessions such as mind mapping or design thinking. It is also beneficial for workshop facilitation for both in-person and remote teams.

One of my teams at the Flash organization was constantly missing deadlines and not following correct retrospective strategies. They were not adhering to proper agile values or following scrum correctly, which caused them to miss retrospective parts. I coached them and introduced Miro Business - Enterprise , which has been used for three to four years. I arranged collaborative brainstorming sessions and facilitated a workshop so they could document workflows and process mapping. I also guided them on the easy integration with tools such as Jira , Confluence , and Slack, which the organization uses. Currently, there are no problems, the team is collaborative, and retrospectives have been greatly beneficial.

Miro Business - Enterprise offers an infinite whiteboard canvas and customizable templates, which are favorite features. The AI-powered collaboration tools include Sidekick, flows, and model context protocol. Real-time editing, sticky notes, voting, timers, and lightweight in-board image to video editing are available. Advanced integrations are supported with Adobe, Jira , Slack, Google Drive , and Confluence .

The infinite whiteboard and customizable templates have been helpful because whenever a whiteboard is needed, it provides an infinite canvas with customized templates. When looking for a dedicated board for a project or upcoming sprint, it provides a shared space where the team can brainstorm and collaborate easily.

What do you like best about the product?

I appreciate Miro for its integrated features and the ability to create so many different things within it. It significantly aids in visualizing projects by providing most of the tools I need in one convenient place. This ease of use is incredibly beneficial, particularly as I have used it extensively for college, work, and occasionally for personal tasks. I love that I can incorporate numerous project-organizing tools, such as Gantt charts and mind maps, and even links, which considerably enhances my planning and coordination abilities. The customization possibilities allow me to tailor my boards to specific project requirements, making Miro a versatile tool. Moreover, the initial setup of Miro was straightforward, further emphasizing its user-friendly nature. Despite some occasional concerns with performance, the overall functionality and versatility make Miro an invaluable resource for my professional and academic endeavors.

What do you dislike about the product?

I find Miro's gantt charts and other charting tools slow and laggy. When I put a lot on my board, Miro starts crashing, lagging, and bugging out. This issue makes it frustrating to work on larger projects or with more complex elements within boards. Moreover, Miro lacks the ability to create bar charts and data chats, which would enhance its functionality significantly. Additionally, the lack of integration with tools like Excel and Canva limits its usability with other applications I frequently use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use Miro for project visualization, integrating charts, links, and mind maps in one platform, facilitating easy organization.

What do you like best about the product?

SO EASY to USE! I had never built flow charts - but it was very intuitive.

What do you dislike about the product?

looking for a bit more guiadnce in using the proper shapes - once i figured out the shapes were almost its own language, i had to rewrite it all. the AI is not very useful.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

we are able to framework our workflow before setting up a policy. once we are done, we refer to the flowchart to understand our methodology.

What do you like best about the product?

Amazing for collaboration! Its also the perfect tool for anyone who's a bit more visual and doesn't want their work on a black and white word doc

What do you dislike about the product?

Bigger Miro boards can sometimes take forever to load due to the amount of content on them

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Miro helps me to collaborate with me teammates in a fun way. It also helps me to get my thoughts down, organise them, and make sense of them. I also find it really helpful for planning high level timelines

What do you like best about the product?

As a visual thinker, Miro helps me map out the chaos of my mind and translate this chaos to others. It's intuitive to use and works with many simple tools from taking snapshots of things from my desktop and pasting them into the board to discuss with collaborators. It's quick, efficient, and versatile. It has easily become the most important tool in my belt and I use it every day.

What do you dislike about the product?

I would like a simple calendar integration in Miro that's project specific. What I tend to do is screenshot a calendar and place post-it notes on it. Something that would be more functional would be ideal. And of course ideal that it's part of the ribbon so you can drag and drop it quickly on the collaboration board. I also spend alot of time printing a pdf document to image and then uploading and resizing the individual images. Would be ideal to integrate pdf docs more smoothly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Collaborating with team members remotely. With all its integrations, it also facilitates collaboration in in-person teams as well as we're able to see everything, upfront, and in one big picture.
