What is Miro?
Miro is a cloud-based visual collaboration platform that gives teams an infinite online whiteboard to think, plan, and deliver together. Instead of juggling sticky notes, screenshots, and scattered files, teams co-create on one canvas with text, shapes, images, and diagrams. Product managers map roadmaps, designers wireframe flows, engineers outline architectures, and marketers run workshops—all in real time or asynchronously. A deep template library accelerates common rituals like brainstorming, customer journey mapping, OKRs, retros, and PI planning. Built for distributed work, Miro includes multi-cursor editing, comments, @mentions, timers, and voting to drive decisions faster. Admin controls, single sign-on, and governance make it safe to scale across the organization. With rich integrations to tools such as work tracking, chat, and design suites, Miro connects discovery to delivery so ideas become actionable tasks without losing context.

How does Miro feel to use?
Miro feels fluid and immediate: drag, drop, and draw on a limitless canvas while teammates edit beside you. Navigation is smooth; frames keep sections organized; search and comments add context. Templates remove setup friction, and AI speeds clustering and summaries. Presentation mode turns messy exploration into a clean storyline for stakeholders. With integrations, work flows naturally between whiteboard and delivery tools, so teams stay focused on outcomes—not copy-paste.
