Miro
Map ideas and collaborate on a shared visual canvas.
What is Miro?
Miro combines whiteboarding, diagrams, templates, and other collaborative formats on a shared canvas. It supports workshops and planning where relationships between ideas matter as much as a written list. The platform also offers AI-assisted creation and integrations. It is most useful when a facilitator or owner turns the board into a clear outcome rather than leaving participants with an unstructured collection.
