From sticky notes to reactions - Miro tools help you go creative and enhance the brainstorming process. Share your ideas, discuss and develop with your team together online.
Miro features for ideation & brainstorming
As soon as you open your first Miro board you get access to various tools that allow you to think in many formats.
Sticky notes
The easiest way to pop down your ideas is sticky notes. Use the bulk mode to create many stickies at once.
Adding sticky notes in bulk
💡 Add Stickies Packs or Brainwriting templates to place a pack of blank stickies on your board.
Assign tags and emojis to sticky notes, change colors, and cluster your stickies. Once you are ready to put your ideas into action, feel free to transform them into tasks by converting your sticky notes into cards or Jira Cards and add them to Miro Kanban - a universal task tracker.
Converting sticky notes into cards
You can even digitize your real-life brainstorming session with Miro: use stickies capture to convert physical sticky notes into editable Miro stickies.
