Digital Whiteboarding
Digital Whiteboarding is a modern way of brainstorming and collaborating online, replacing traditional physical whiteboards in virtual meetings. It's like having a shared drawing board on your computer where team members can write, draw, and share ideas in real-time, even when working from different locations. Popular tools include Miro, MURAL, and Microsoft Whiteboard. This skill is increasingly important for remote teams to conduct planning sessions, training, or creative discussions effectively.
