While other productivity applications prioritize a
document-first or task-first approach, Miro remains committed to a
canvas-first approach. The canvas is unique because it’s an
inclusive and collaborative environment that supports seamless
transitions between unstructured work (like ideation) and
structured work (like diagramming, documentation, task tracking,
and prototyping). It can also support multiple media formats – from
text to image, to video to audio – and any file type, including
those from the most popular productivity suites.
"A common challenge among most organizations is that work
happens across too many tools, there are gaps in communication
which leads to many unnecessary loops, and there’s a significant
lag time in decision making. These are all friction points in
collaboration that, ultimately, stunt a team's innovation potential
and velocity,” said Andrey Khusid, Miro co-founder and CEO. “The
Innovation Workspace is the first platform designed specifically to
help teams rapidly navigate the twists and turns between the phases
of the process, and embrace creativity as a necessary and valuable
part of innovation.”
“Over the past 13 years, we’ve innovated and led the market,
from introducing a digital whiteboard solution, to establishing the
visual collaboration category, and now – the Innovation Workspace.
Through it all, we’ve stayed true to our core belief that the
canvas is king. That’s because the canvas gives teams an infinite,
flexible space to innovate without constraints,” said Jeff Chow,
Miro CPTO. “A canvas-first approach connects teams and their work
in all formats, including messaging, task tracking, documentation,
virtual meetings, and data retrieval. It’s a space to easily move
from a set of ideas to a tangible output. Miro is where work gets
done, instead of just focusing on the progress of work.”
Miro customer Red Hat has been partnering with the company since
2020. "Miro's groundbreaking new AI capabilities will boost
productivity and accelerate the transformation of ideas into
actionable outcomes throughout our process from discovery to
delivery. With the Innovation Workspace features, we’ll be able to
reveal new opportunities and build more engaging experiences, plus
up-level interactions with our clients and teams across multiple
organizations,” said Jan Mark Holzer, Senior Distinguished Engineer
at Red Hat.
The Innovation Workspace redefines the innovation process by
guiding teams to:
- Innovate faster: Miro supports transitions from
unstructured work to more structured formats, helping teams move
seamlessly and iteratively between the phases of discovery,
definition, and delivery. AI accelerates these transitions,
integrating into a teams’ workflows so that the time to turn ideas
into tangible outcomes is reduced. New features include:
- Foundational capabilities for structured work in Docs and
Tables
- AI in the flow of work with AI-powered Sidekicks and new
Intelligent Templates
- A centralized hub that connects all of a project’s critical
tasks and assets, including third-party documents from Microsoft
365 and Google Workspace, for shared knowledge and context-setting
with Spaces
- AI-powered Prototyping to help teams visually communicate ideas
and validate with customer feedback
Imagine this: Your research team takes
unstructured insights – from sticky notes, text, documents,
diagrams, and more – saved on the board and turns them into a
structured product brief in a matter of moments, instead of days.
Your product manager uses that brief to create editable prototypes
and design concepts using new capabilities on the Innovation
Workspace.
- Innovate your way: The Innovation Workspace can be
shaped and adapted to fit any organization’s current tech stack and
their ways of working. Miro’s Innovation Workspace includes more
than 150 integrations with popular workplace applications,
including:
- Microsoft Copilot
- Adobe Express
- Glean
New features for composable workflows help
create deep workflow-driven experiences on the canvas,
including
○ Canvas SDK
○ Customizable widgets ○ AI Action
shortcuts
Imagine this: Your team’s agile coach customizes Miro’s counter
widget to quickly summarize capacity for the team during sprint
planning. Your product manager can build a custom AI action
shortcut to trigger turning user research questions into a full
interview script with a single click – no coding ability
required.
- Innovate together: The Innovation Workspace brings teams
together in one, central space to increase interaction and
engagement, connect the dots between asynchronous and synchronous
activity, and make decisions faster. New features include:
- Intelligent widgets to make teamwork more interactive and
engaging
- Catch-up and Video calls directly on the canvas to streamline
synchronous and asynchronous communication
Imagine this: Your program manager has just
returned from vacation and needs to get up to speed quickly. Miro’s
Catch-up feature provides AI-powered, visual summaries of
everything that’s happened on the canvas since they’ve been gone.
If your program manager has questions, they can quickly launch a
video call directly from the canvas to get the clarity needed to
keep the project moving forward.
- Innovate securely: Security remains a top priority in
Miro’s Innovation Workspace. Customers can rely on Miro’s industry
best practices to secure innovation content on the canvas, and may
enhance it even further with Miro Enterprise Guard, which
automatically identifies, classifies, and protects sensitive and
confidential content in Miro. The Innovation Workspace now includes
built-in data discovery, Jira and code blocks data discovery,
customer keyword discovery and IP detection, and OCR data
discovery.
Imagine this: Product leadership is building
the product strategy and roadmap for the coming year and it’s
critical that this sensitive information isn’t shared with
customers until it is finalized. With Miro Enterprise Guard, you
can import your organization’s sensitivity classifications to
ensure standardization in your data security processes, and ensure
that the roadmap board is classified accurately, with appropriate
guardrails in place.
