A Better Alternative to Miro for OSTs

Love Opportunity Solution Trees but frustrated with using Miro? You're not alone. Outcomify is purpose-built for OSTs, with structure, tracking, and collaboration that Miro can't match.

The Problem with Miro for OSTs

Miro is a great whiteboard, but it wasn't designed for Opportunity Solution Trees. Here's what teams struggle with:

Manual Hierarchy Management

Miro doesn't know what an OST is, so you have to manually ensure nodes follow the Outcome → Opportunity → Solution → Assumption structure.

No Assumption Tracking

Tracking which assumptions are tested, which are validated or invalidated requires manual color-coding or sticky notes.

Template Maintenance

Building and maintaining OST templates is on you. Every team reinvents the wheel.

Limited Node Information

Complex nodes need rich metadata - status, owners, evidence, links. Miro sticky notes don't support this.

No Cross-Tree Search

As your trees grow, finding specific opportunities or solutions across multiple boards becomes impossible.

Messy at Scale

Large OSTs become unwieldy in Miro, with overlapping nodes and confusing layouts.
