We have a special relationship with Miro. We've been using their canvas tools for team collaboration and planning since they first came out, and we're big fans of their work. And now we finally got their Strategic Account Manager, Maks Semyonovykh, on our very first podcast of new 2025 season to chat about how team collaboration tools have evolved and whether they're really valuable now. Or are they just a way for managers to show they're cool and in touch with the latest trends?
