Peoplebox vs. Workboard

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.

Workboard is well suited in any organization IMO, it allows the individual business units to quickly set, define, organize and track their respective OKR's and align them with the larger business goals. The speed at which we're able to do this with Workboard has allowed us to spend more time on the goals themselves and less time on the management of the goal-setting exercise.

• Increases the efficiency of the meetings - by quickly going through the action items and updating the task progress in the tool itself
• Support has been outstanding so far

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.

Workboard vs Microsoft Project(and its Server) is like comparing a regular sport car with Formula 1 cars. One is lighter, nicer, with a broader audience, it gets you there fast while the other one is dedicated, not as nice, especially built for it, not for everyone and it will get you there much faster.

Incentivized

• 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.
