Miro is a cloud-based collaborative workspace designed for teams to visually create, organize, and develop ideas together in real time or asynchronously. It functions as an “intelligent canvas” where users can map workflows, brainstorm concepts, design systems, run workshops, and manage product development processes in a shared digital environment.

Originally known as a digital whiteboard tool, Miro has evolved into an AI-powered innovation workspace. It now integrates AI features that help users automatically structure notes, generate summaries, create diagrams, and transform raw ideas into actionable plans. The platform is built to support cross-functional collaboration across product, design, engineering, and business teams.

Users can add sticky notes, diagrams, documents, tables, timelines, and interactive widgets onto an infinite canvas. These elements can be connected visually to represent systems, customer journeys, roadmaps, and workflows. Miro also integrates with many third-party tools such as Jira, Slack, Notion, and Figma, allowing teams to connect their existing workflows into one visual space.

The platform is widely used for agile planning, brainstorming sessions, strategy workshops, UX design mapping, and project coordination. Its emphasis on visual thinking helps teams align faster and reduce communication friction, especially in remote and distributed environments.

Key features include:

• Infinite digital canvas for visual collaboration
• AI-assisted workflows for summarizing, structuring, and generating ideas
• Real-time and asynchronous team collaboration tools
• Templates for strategy, product design, and agile workflows
• Integrations with popular productivity and development tools

Common use cases include:

• Product roadmap planning
• Brainstorming sessions
• UX and customer journey mapping
• Agile ceremonies (sprints, retrospectives)
• Strategy workshops
• Cross-team project coordination

Miro is developed by Miro, Inc., founded by Andrey Khusid and Oleg Shardin, and is used by distributed teams and enterprises worldwide.
