Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Lattice is being used across the organization to streamline and coordinate the individual objectives with the organization's goals. It is used at an individual level and also across all teams and areas, including VPs and upper management. It helps to make sure that the work everybody is doing is actually making a difference and to align efforts across all teams.

Alternatives Considered

Trello

I don't think there is a natural substitute for Lattice. Trello has some of the same functionalities in terms of assigning items directly to individuals, but Lattice does a better job at tracking and grading the level of completion for each task. I haven't found any decent alternatives on the market so far.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Lattice is very useful for medium-sized to large businesses. As it is quite manual and it needs a lot of input from workers, probably small organizations will not see the benefit of using the software. Lattice can help to make sure no efforts are being duplicated and you have one responsible individual for each item, which is very helpful on big structures.
