This is why whiteboards used to be so popular in many/most tech company offices.

Doing this exact same process interactively with other people, and a not to NOT ERASE or later taking a picture of the whiteboard with your phone.



"used to be" ?? What are engineering team doing nowadays when discussing architecturing their systems ?


In my experience the last several years, primarily we’re all on Zoom waving our hands and making false promises to update Confluence with what we talked about. I miss offices with walls and whiteboards.


Miro.com is one of the few SaaS products that our team's collaboration could not live without.

Perfect for a distributed team to replace the DO NOT ERASE white boards of yore.


yes miro is also what i'm using. It's really a digital whiteboard.


Working remotely.


I have theee whiteboards in ly office, and almost all the walls of my teams space is covered with whiteboards. They are always full and it is always a drama when some space need to be made


In my opinion you should immediately erase after solving the problem on the whiteboard, never taking a picture.

Same with notes that you will never see again. Done in pen, on random pages.

That process is bulletproof, for me.


exactly the same for me, 30 years and counting…
