Miro

Miro is a cloud-based collaborative online whiteboard platform designed to help distributed teams brainstorm, plan, and design together in a visual space. It supports real-time collaboration on an infinite canvas, allowing multiple users to edit, draw, and place notes simultaneously, with presence indicators and asynchronous commenting. The platform is used for activities such as brainstorming sessions, user journey mapping, agile ceremonies, product roadmapping, and design workshops. It provides a library of templates and widgets, including mind maps, flowcharts, Kanban boards, empathy maps, and user story mapping to support a range of workflows.

Platform and integrations: Miro is accessible through web browsers and offers native apps for major operating systems, along with mobile apps for iOS and Android. It provides templates and frameworks tailored to design thinking, UX research, agile development, and education. Miro integrates with a variety of collaboration and productivity tools, including Slack, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Asana, Google Drive, and Zoom, enabling users to link content and workflows across tools.

History: The product originated in 2011 as RealtimeBoard and later rebranded as Miro in the late 2010s to reflect its broader focus on collaborative visual work. Since then, Miro has grown to serve teams across multiple industries, including technology, product development, education, and professional services, offering both free and paid plans for individuals and organizations.

Security and privacy: Miro states enterprise-grade security measures, including data encryption in transit and at rest, audit logs, and single sign-on options, along with compliance certifications such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. Administrative controls and regional data options are provided to meet organizational requirements.
