miro
miro is an online whiteboard platform for distributed team collaboration.
The platform’s infinite canvas is designed to enable its more than 20M users to lead engaging workshops and meetings, design products, and brainstorm ideas.
miro was founded by Andrey Khusid and Oleg Shardin in 2011 as RealtimeBoard and rebranded as miro in 2019.
miro lets teachers conduct meetings and workshops, perform product development, agile workflows, user experience research and design, innovation/ideation, strategic planning, and mind mapping in one compact yet powerful software. When creating a new project, miro starts off as a blank, unlimited canvas where you can start brainstorming and collaborating with team members immediately. Instead of going the list route, miro supports the many ways your mind can creatively wander: mind mapping, agile workflows, whiteboarding, etc.
Team members can actively add their inputs to the board, and you can all further collaborate via text, voice, or video chats. The initial but limited version is available free, and you can upgrade to team, business or enterprise plans via paid monthly subscriptions.
Freelancers and consultants can also join in on clients via a special Consultant plan which gives your access to the team boards as well as your own private space.
