Overall Satisfaction with Jive
Jive is used RAND-wide, but uptake varies throughout the organization. We are not required to use it for anything, so some choose not to. It is used to solicit ideas from a large variety of people at RAND, such as for proposal development, or to communicate more casually about items of interest. Since members of our organization staff projects by finding other staff who have time to spend working on the projects, Jive is often use to advertise for available work.
- Reduces number of emails
- Allows for polling and getting quick input
- A place for communicating information to interested parties without tracking down contact info
- Interface is clunky
- Search functionality is limited
- Uptake is relatively low at my organization
- Saves time/productivity benefits
- Brainstorming taking place on Jive leads to successful proposals
