Likelihood to Recommend Peoplebox is well suited to assign goals and track outcomes when the teams are aligned well internally and the goals are well defined with quantitative outcomes. It has limitations when it comes to integrating Peoplebox with internal toolkits and collaboration tools like Asana, Slack, and others. However, it works well with Google sheets.

Wants to replace a painful status reporting process. Has stated company, department, and team SMART goals. Wants to connect daily work to long term individual/team/department/organization goals. Is concerned about company culture and employee satisfaction. Wants to facilitate better communication and alignment without adding more meetings. Believes in the OKR method for planning and prioritizing work items to be done. Is digital. Read full review Pros Allows to easily monitor activities progress. Helps in prioritizing tasks. Read full review Creating plans, tracking progress, and logging potential problems on one page is very nice. The company dashboard allows colleagues to stay up to date on quarterly progress. Read full review Cons Integrations with tools like slack and asana are tedious. Goals are difficult to link across multiple people. Quantitative progress has to be updated manually in absence of the right integrations. Read full review User setup and management and team/department creation is not a trivial effort. Requires some deliberate planning. The deadlines for plans don't connect to the due dates for tasks in systems of record. That can get confusing when Asana says a task is due next week but Weekdone still has a due date of tomorrow. I'd love to see more contextual support for sections like employee feedback. Maybe a sentence or two suggesting feedback based on the report's weekly entry. If a person had three Problems and only one Progress, Weekdone could suggest some corrective action to make it easier for the management to mitigate problems before they get ugly. Read full review Support Rating We have a lunch and learn session with Weekdone next week so they can share their tips and tricks for making the most out of the platform. Since we have been using the platform for a while already, this will be helpful so we can ensure we are making the most of the tool.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Although both tasks allow monitoring team members' task progress and activity reporting, they are a bit different. It's hard to comp [are these two tools, although People soft was much easier for me to use (more intuitive) while I was a team member of a small team.
Read full review Weekdone started as a pilot within a single team so we didn't have a formal evaluation and selection process. When the pilot was over, we had developed a skill and affinity for the tool with no clear objections, so no other tools were considered. Our process for regular evaluation of incumbent technology at renewal time asks us to consider the cost to value ratio and user adoption/satisfaction. I don't anticipate there being any reason to consider alternatives, other than the long term viability of small software companies.
Read full review Return on Investment It has made reviews very easy. Organisation has clearly defined goals and tracking. Goals and objectives are transparent and open for all to view and comment on- making us very collaborative and open in culture. Read full review Using Weekdone has helped us meet our quarterly business objectives by tracking each employee's progress. We have been able to shift resources based on the progress tracked in Weekdone. If we find that a particular project is taking too long or costing too much, we are able to evaluate as needed. We were not able to see this as easily without Weekdone. Read full review ScreenShots
