Guides
6 guides on whiteboard. Practical writing from the team building Atlas, useful whether or not you buy anything.
A list assumes you already know the shape of the work. A whiteboard is for the earlier, messier moment when you are still figuring out what the shape even is.
Miro and FigJam are excellent whiteboards that also draw diagrams. The real question is not which is better but whether a whiteboard is the right tool for the diagram you are making.
An online whiteboard gives a distributed team the freeform, everyone-at-once creativity of a physical board, plus something a physical board never had: the ability to turn the mess into structure.
A photo of a whiteboard or a flat image of an old diagram is useless the moment you need to change it. Converting an image into an editable diagram brings it back to life.
Miro is a powerful infinite canvas, but its breadth and pricing send some teams looking. Here is a fair roundup of the best alternatives in 2026 and who each one suits.
FigJam and Miro are both first-rate collaborative whiteboards. The right one usually depends on whether your team already lives in Figma and how much breadth you need.
