Why prototype in Miro now

Miro has matured from a blank canvas into a prototyping workspace: UI component libraries, user-flow templates, frames for slide-like storytelling, and built-in collaboration features keep exploration, feedback, and iteration in one place.

Key benefits

• Speed to first concept. Drag UI elements from the Prototyping / Wireframe libraries to build low-fi screens and flows in minutes.

• All feedback in one board. Invite stakeholders to comment, vote, and co-edit live or async—no more scattered decks or screenshots.

• Present without exporting. Use frames as slides in Interactive Presentation Mode to walk through scenarios and capture decisions.

• Fits your toolchain. View Figma content on a Miro board to discuss flows in context before jumping to high-fidelity.

How it works (in practice)

1. Start from a template — grab a wireframe, user flow, or prototype template to avoid a blank canvas.

2. Sketch screens & flows — drop UI components, connect steps with arrows, and annotate behaviours.

3. Frame the story — group areas into frames (think slides) for walkthroughs and export if needed.

4. Run the review — hit Present for a live session; use comments/votes for async decisions.

5. Tidy with AI — use Miro AI to summarise feedback or auto-diagram messy clusters between sessions.

Practical example flows

• Mobile wireframe → review. Start with a wireframe template, add screens, frame them, and present for quick sign-off.

• User journey prototype. Map the happy path and branches with the User Flow template; capture questions as comments to resolve later.

• Backlog alignment. Use User Story Map to connect prototype steps to work items and owners.

Tips for faster outcomes

• Keep it low-fi first. Stay in grayscale with basic UI blocks to validate flows before visuals.

• One board per scenario. Use frames to structure variants (desktop/mobile).

• Bring Figma in late. Embed/view Figma artboards for polish once flow risks are retired.
