Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Used across the whole organization to keep work tasks up to date and inform others of what one is looking for. Both between departments and intra-departmentally, Microsoft Planner was used to keep teams synchronized and up-to-date on tasks that needed completing. LIke access to see others to-do lists, can be a bit complicated/jumbled for those who are computer-challenged.
Pros and Cons
  • Tracks
  • Adjusts
  • Informs
  • Displays
  • Tasks
  • Need lots to login.
  • Clunky UI interface.
  • Expensive, used only by large orgs.
Likelihood to Recommend
keeping a team on task for one cohesive project would be its best use. workers who work on different aspects of a project likely will have little use for this product. Though it is nice to be able to see what others are working on, this may add to the 'clunkiness' of the user interface.
Most Important Features
  • Helped plan.
  • Large organizational goals.
  • Add people as needed.
Return on Investment
  • Central check in point.
  • Increased efficiency!
  • Allows communication.
  • Con: another app to check.
Alternatives Considered
Planner, tho its user interface could be improved, was leaps and bounds better than TYA suite. Their user interface is difficult for many at our job site to use, especially the older generation. The decision to bring it in was largely a corporate decision. Individuals likely have little control over whether or not to use this service.

It's not up to me, but if it were, I would not recommend using this. It is another work productivity app, which, while it has its benefits, can actually detract instead of enhance work productivity.
