Alternatives & Comparisons
Miro vs Clear Retro
Miro is great for brainstorming, but Clear Retro is built for effective Action Items. Stop getting lost in the infinite canvas.
⚖️ The Verdict
Miro is a fantastic whiteboard, but it's not a retrospective tool. It lacks the structure, privacy controls, and dedicated action item tracking that engineering teams need to actually improve.
