Communication & CollaborationMiro
The collaborative whiteboard where distributed teams think together.
Miro is an online collaborative whiteboard platform that gives software teams an infinite canvas for brainstorming, diagramming, planning, and workshops. It is used by product teams, designers, engineers, and facilitators at companies of all sizes, but it is especially valuable for distributed and remote-first organizations where visual collaboration would otherwise require a physical whiteboard. The central problem Miro solves is that ideas and planning processes that naturally happen in a room around a whiteboard do not translate well to video calls or text-based tools alone. Miro provides a persistent, shareable canvas where teams can run sprint planning sessions, map user journeys, draw system architecture diagrams, and facilitate retrospectives in real time, with changes visible to every participant instantly.
Product managers, engineering leads, designers, and team facilitators at software companies, particularly those with distributed or partially remote teams where real-time visual collaboration cannot happen on a physical whiteboard. Miro becomes critical when your team is trying to run workshops or planning sessions over video calls and participants cannot easily contribute visually.

Real-Time Collaborative Canvas
Multiple team members can work on the same board simultaneously, with each person's cursor visible to others. This makes distributed workshops, brainstorming sessions, and design reviews feel closer to being in the same room.
Diagramming and Flowcharts
Miro includes native diagramming tools for creating flowcharts, entity-relationship diagrams, org charts, and system architecture maps. Engineering and product teams use these to document processes and system designs in a format that is easy to share and update.
Templates for Engineering Workflows
A library of pre-built templates covers common software team workflows including sprint retrospectives, user story mapping, product roadmaps, and dependency mapping. Starting from a template cuts setup time and gives new facilitators a proven structure to follow.
Sticky Notes and Voting
Digital sticky notes with voting functionality let teams run structured brainstorming and prioritization exercises asynchronously or in real time. This is a direct replacement for physical sticky note workshops, adapted for remote teams.
Presentation and Facilitation Mode
Miro's presentation mode lets a facilitator guide all participants through sections of a board in a focused sequence, without losing the benefit of the full canvas for open exploration. This is useful for running structured workshops without losing the flexibility of a whiteboard.
Miro integrates with Jira, Confluence, Notion, Figma, Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom, and its embed feature lets you drop a live board into any Notion page or Confluence doc. In a typical software team's stack it sits alongside a project tracker and a documentation tool, filling the visual and collaborative planning layer that text-based tools do not cover.
Commonuse cases.
Running remote sprint retrospectives with distributed engineering teams
Engineering teams use Miro's retrospective templates (Start/Stop/Continue, 4Ls, etc.) to collect feedback from team members across time zones before or during a synchronous session. Sticky note voting surfaces the highest-priority discussion topics without a moderator having to manually tally input.
Mapping user journeys and product flows during discovery
Product managers and UX designers use the canvas to lay out user journey maps, placing screens, touchpoints, and pain points visually and adjusting them in real time during stakeholder interviews or team workshops. This produces a shared artifact that everyone has contributed to, rather than a document one person wrote.
Documenting system architecture for a new service or integration
Engineering leads draw architecture diagrams directly in Miro and share a board link with the team for async review and annotation. Unlike static images exported from draw.io, Miro boards remain editable and discussable as the architecture evolves.
