Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Miro, as a tool, has helped us discuss whiteboard topics efficiently as a team. It has cool features, and the improvements are welcome. We use it for Scrum meetings, such as retro, but also when discussing and designing new software or analysing requirements from an existing one. As well as making visibility to complex problems using flowcharts.

Pros

Team Collaboration
Varity of tools
Visualization of complex issues

Cons

Pushing other miro products
Transparancy around Data Residency
Hard to use privacy controls

Return on Investment

Made meeting engaging when teams are not co-located
Made discussions stay saved and can be continued from, eg vs a whiteboard
Saved costs on materials such as sticky notes etc

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Miro saves me dozens of hours each week. It replaces multiple tools such as diagram, proto-typing, documentation, designing, and is incredibly easy to collaborate and use with others. Adopting the tool was straightforward and anyone that has used similar tools will take right away to it. I use it daily for work and it easily links to existing documentation and other URLs to compile everything in one place.

Pros

Creating diagrams from scratch or with AI fast
Easily share ideas instantaneously while in collaborative environments
Share thoughts asynchronously across teams in other countries
Easy organization of brainstorming thoughts and commenting of others

Cons

Limited access to user groups for hiding and controlling access to boards
Organization of navigation menu is limited to one level of "sections" instead of a folder-like structure many other tools allow

Return on Investment

I currently save around two to three hours a week now doing administrative tasks. It has saved the need for sending some emails and holding meetings.
I trust that I won't miss anything from my team now that we are all in sync with this tool. No more pouring over document comments in Office 365, Emails, Jira tasks, etc. It's all in one place, and can combine all of those other tools there as well with its elegant linking approach.
Starting projects and leading others is easy with these persistent and real time updates during meetings. No more "circling back on that point" because it is addressed right now!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm a UX Researcher, so I normally use it for this purpose. I used to use it to download customer interviews, but now we use it more for stakeholder dynamics. I like the fact that you can access it without logging in, so stakeholders feel comfortable being anonymous in the dynamics.

Pros

Being able to design dynamics in a "free" way.
The tool is flexible.
Miroverse.

Cons

Presentation mode is not that good.
Could have integration with Teams for presentation.
The I.A is still "weak".
Portuguese translation.

Return on Investment

We did a dynamic activity based on actionable insights from a research study that I conducted. It was great to see people interacting, and one of the proposals was successful, resulting in a 6 million (in local currency) contribution to the company!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At our company, we use Miro mostly for team collaboration, especially when we got people working remote or in different time zones. It helps us bring everyone into the same “visual room,” virtually. We do a lot of project planning and Miro is more than great for collaboration. Has good productivity features too, for ex whiteboards, sticky notes, templates, etc, which enhance the experience and saves a lot of precious time.

Pros

Especially useful project planning with functions like whiteboard and great collaboration features.
Miros presentation mode is great for walking people through and explaining a concept.
If someone can’t join a meeting, we record a Talktrack. Its like a mini-presentation that people can watch later. Can be extremely useful at times.

Cons

The mobile app is decent for viewing, but editing complex boards on a phone or tablet can be difficult for some.
The other main concern would be offline access, we understand about collaboration but other functions should be available.

Return on Investment

With Miro, we are able to perform clearer planning and visual workflows, resulting in better project delivery and management.
Miro kept remote and in-office teams equally engaged and informed, ensuring smooth connectivity.
