Overall Satisfaction with Miro

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Miro is an excellent software to use for visual plot creation. It already has built-in templates at the free model. The pricing for the software is acceptable and team members up to 20 can be used for a decent monthly fee. Updates are automatically made and can be accessed on all browsers. Additional features that are excellent is images, text, lines of code, and other applications can be implemented into your current dashboard that you are using form Python to even addition applications by contacting the team. I have only implemented python and azure for developing UI and auto application programs that run when collecting data. The visual prowess that this software can do is amazing because I have created multiple templates within the dashboard to create an individual based application for automation detection for troubleshooting issues. Miro is an excellent online software platform to begin initial plan developments for setting goals, flow charts, mind maps, fish bone diagram, and you can create your own customized one with your team. For companies I recommend buying the plan to provide security as some dashboard are made public to the Miro community. The Miro community is also helpful for those wanting to plan out a project and record the steps that are progress overtime. Templates can be shared or kept private based on your membership.

Miro is well-suited for planning, organizing, and tracking deadlines. Miro has great usage when creating a mind map or other customized layout for implementing a plan, while also adding other applications into the dashboard you are working on. Miro is a web online platform to be used across a team for collaboration and timeline meeting. It provides open management for the entire team instead of just the project lead or manager. Miro has so much to offer when implementing simple systems to even complex engineering flow designs. Though sometimes there some limitations it is great to be used for explaining hard complex visuals by restricting them into simple visual for non-technical individual to understand them.

Using Miro

Business Processes Supported

Organization.
Planning deadlines.
Personal project development.

Likelihood to Renew

Miro is simple yet effective for being used during the early stages of development. Long-term commitment when using the software in companies early stages is highly recommended, but more importantly it provides great structure for a team regardless of the stage a team is on. It is also is a great way to show visual flowcharts to team members instead of an old-fashioned PowerPoint flowchart, which is ineffective and does not suffice nowadays.

Using Miro
