Use your time wisely with Miro’s Affinity Diagram. Rather than rewriting every note you may have created in hard copy in order to make it available to remote team members.

Increase your productivity with Affinity Diagram template features

Use sticky notes and tags for Affinity Diagramming. Sort these notes into clusters using different colors and shapes. Upload pictures, save files, and have the freedom to vary elements to illustrate your point of view more clearly.
