Brainstorming with a Miro Whiteboard

Miro turns brainstorming into something a remote team can do together on one shared, infinite whiteboard.

  1. Create a new board

    From your Miro dashboard, click "Create new board" to open a blank whiteboard.

  2. Write ideas on sticky notes

    Use the sticky note tool to freely place brainstormed ideas anywhere across the board.

  3. Organize notes using frames

    Group related sticky notes into frames to sort your ideas neatly by topic.

  4. Invite teammates for live collaboration

    Share the board link so multiple people can join at once and add or move notes in real time.

  5. Why it's worth using

    Even while working remotely, teammates can gather around a shared whiteboard and freely share and organize ideas as if brainstorming in the same room.

An infinite canvas removes the fear of running out of room

A physical whiteboard fills up fast, which can quietly discourage adding one more idea. Miro's board scrolls and zooms endlessly, so there's never a reason to hold back an idea just because space is running out.

Frames turn a messy scatter into a structured summary

Sticky notes tend to spread out unpredictably during a fast brainstorm. Grouping them into frames afterward β€” by theme, by priority, or by who raised the idea β€” turns the raw output of a session into something a team can actually act on.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does everyone need a Miro account to join a board?

It depends on the sharing settings, but many boards can be set to let anyone with the link join and edit, even without creating their own account.

Can I export a board once the brainstorm is done?

Yes, most boards can be exported as an image or PDF, which is useful for archiving a session or sharing a summary with people who weren't there.
