All around tool for ideas collaboration and processes. But how can it evolve
Overall Satisfaction with Miro
mind maps, process flows, ad-hoc notes for the process flows. To describe visually, flows in big processes or teams like operations and such. Other teams may use it for other purposes, but I have no visibility. I am sure no one documents or standardizes how to use things. It should be a collaborative approach, but when you read the docs, you see that it is really mostly used by the person creating the diagram to understand something, more than to actually deliver this document. So usually disorganized note taking. In the use cases of the product team, it's mostly for mock-ups, to get visual aid. My use case in particular is to read and understand processes designed or documented by other teams, I in particular prefer Lucidchart and that's the tool I use as a creator.
Pros
- zoom in and outs
- note taking for goal setting and brainstorming
- variability in shapes, fonts and templates
- good set of collaboration functionalities
Cons
- from visual to actual data, mechanisms to count, sort, describe in general information from a process flow, a chart, etc.
- better exposure of hidden or hard to find functionalities.
- the Document part is pretty dull, maybe add ability to extract data from a source, add LLM interactions to embed text or images.
- let me elaborate the first one more. I make a diagram, automatically create a map for what each part is supposed to be (like a legend) and then count number of "boxes" per type, have descriptors (tags) of each, enable extraction and import, like smart-containers in lucid, but better since that is hard to understand.
- Higher productivity to structure MVP
- Higher productivity to document processes and flowcharts and alike
- more efficient collaboration for team-mates to review
- Easier decision making.
- Easier to understand something you are not familiar with, which translates to faster decision making and value provision.
tagging, easy share. comment section with task. these are the most obvious, but embedding is also high on my list because you want to be able to share dynamic content with people that dont need edit access but need view access. to make this is, I need to be able to share it or embed it in different tools, easily.
Yes, but it is also important to understand that other tools also offer similar functionalities, and people are animals of habit. We go to our comfort zone, even if other tools are easier to use or more functional. So affectation goes so far as how easy is Miro making it for me to come back, and to share and embed and manipulate the tools. The days of note taking in a word or notepad are over with tools like Miro, but something else needs to evolve for more appreciation.
Miro is great with its look and feel, also its collaborative approach. Being able to have templates and easiness to embed. Miro in essence is pretty much everything you need for mapping and mocking.
