What is Mural?
Mural is a visual collaboration platform with real-time whiteboards, templates and facilitation tools, integrates with Teams, Slack and Jira, offers enterprise security and a free trial.
Mural
What it does
Mural is a digital whiteboard built for workshops, not doodles. You get an infinite canvas, sticky notes, connectors, and frameworks, plus facilitation tools like timers, voting, private mode, and “summon everyone here.” Templates cover retros, journey maps, and design sprints without starting from zero.
Where it works
Distributed teams that need structure: product, UX, and agile rituals. It runs in the browser or desktop apps, and plugs into Slack, Jira, and Microsoft Teams. Guests join by link, and content stays organized enough to survive after the meeting—if someone tends the garden.
Why it frustrates
Large boards can lag, and feature sprawl turns sessions into UI scavenger hunts. Newcomers get lost fast; permissions and workspace jargon don’t help. Pricing by seat stings when you just need the occasional collaborator, pushing teams to improvise with screenshots.
Bottom line
Great for facilitated collaboration; heavy for casual sketching. If your meetings need structure and receipts, use Mural. If you want quick scribbles, pick something lighter.
