About Miro
Miro is the default online whiteboard for many companies, used for brainstorming, workshops, retrospectives, journey maps, roadmaps and diagramming on an infinite canvas. Boards combine sticky notes, shapes, frames, tables, docs, kanban cards, timelines and slides, and a huge template library covers most workshop formats. Facilitation tools such as timers, voting and private mode help run sessions, and AI features can cluster notes, summarise boards or generate diagrams. Miro integrates with Jira, Asana, Confluence, Microsoft Teams, Slack, Zoom and many others. The free plan lets you keep three editable boards; paid plans priced per member add unlimited boards, private boards, guests, version history and higher-resolution exports, and enterprise plans add SSO and governance controls. It works in the browser and has desktop apps for Mac and Windows plus mobile apps for iOS and Android. The breadth can make it feel busy, and costs add up across large teams, but it is the safe choice for cross-team visual collaboration.
Best for: Teams running workshops and planning sessions that need the broadest template and integration library.
