iObeya vs Miro

Miro is a visual collaboration software that enables teams to co-create, share and collaborate on virtual whiteboards during workshops.
iObeya is a Visual Management platform dedicated to Lean and Agile rituals enhancing operational excellence and organizational transformation.

Two solutions,
two different approaches

While Miro is designed to facilitate collaboration, iObeya supports Lean and Agile practices and rituals, while fostering the implementation of Visual Management.
Occasional co-creation and collaboration meetings on whiteboards for brainstorming, discussions and information sharing between employees.
Structured, short, recurring meetings to support synchronization, planning and continuous improvement of business teams.

UI/UX

Touchscreen-averse and esoteric solution crowded screens, unlimited boards, unorganized toolkits, navigation quickly becomes tedious
Hands-on solution designed for touch screens limited boards, structuring tools, rooms replicating Obeyas.

System - Data flow

Each team has its own boards. No possible synergies between teams.
Boards can be connected across different rooms and shared by different teams. Customizable content access management. Synchronized collections and cards to cascade information to all levels of the organization.

Data

Only on visual support

Standards

"iObeya: The #1 Tool for building Visual, Collaborative, Improvable Human Work Systems"

Obeyas are like snowflakes: no two are (or should!) be alike. You and your team have your own way of working. So I appreciate the extensive functionality and myriad customizable templates (and related searchability and portability) iObeya offers so that I can build and continuously evolve my obeya to suit my team and projects’ requirements. [...]
At the end of the day iObeya is the tool I don't want to work...live...function without.
