Benefits of an online whiteboard

Mural removes the friction from productive team collaboration so you can focus on progress. The benefits?

• Align fragmented teams: Create a single source of truth with Mural’s virtual whiteboard. Sales, marketing, and product leaders work from one plan, eliminating siloed documentation so every stakeholder sees the same context.
• Energize sessions that drive revenue: With Facilitation Superpowers like Timers, Summon, and Celebrate, your interactive whiteboard sessions stay focused, whether you’re in a retro, account planning meeting, or strategy workshop.
• Surface insights faster with AI: Mural AI can cluster related ideas, summarize lengthy discussions, and spotlight key priorities directly on the digital whiteboard. Sales teams get immediate clarity from discovery sessions, account strategy workshops, or competitive analysis.
• Visualize complex stakeholder maps: In Mural’s collaboration board, use stakeholder mapping to track relationships, dependencies, and progress across buying committees or projects. Update insights in real time for maximum agility.
• Create an inclusive environment: Virtual whiteboard sessions allow for anonymous input and flexible async modes, making inclusive collaboration the default.

Overcome whiteboard tool limitations and boost collaboration with Mural

Many whiteboard tool options fall short on organization, integration, and engagement, slowing teams instead of accelerating them. Mural’s digital whiteboard solves these issues:

• Disconnected team members: Replicate in‑person energy with our interactive whiteboard. Combine Facilitation Superpowers with whiteboard AI features to keep participants engaged and aligned across time zones.
• In‑canvas chaos: Messy notes hinder progress. Mural’s visual collaboration tool uses Areas, Outlines, and AI clustering to instantly organize input from workshops or brainstorming.
• Limited integration options: Outputs shouldn’t be trapped in your virtual whiteboard. Mural integrates with Microsoft Teams, Slack, Jira, and more for continuous visual task management from ideas to execution.
• No facilitation guidance: Without structure, meetings drift. Build a better workflow for sales discovery, competitive analysis, and go‑to‑market planning so every collaboration board delivers a rewarding outcome.
