Miro

Miro is an infinite canvas where teams brainstorm with sticky notes, draw mind maps, build flowcharts, and run workshops asynchronously or in real time. It integrates with Jira, Asana, Slack, and Figma. The free tier allows 3 editable boards; paid plans remove limits and add advanced facilitation tools.
