Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We work with many people -- including ourselves -- who are trying to make sense and find meaning in the wide array of challenges and opportunities in our communities and in the world.

Pros and Cons

Surfaces Patterns
Visualizes Current Context
Presents a flow of possibilities

Navigating on the Board is still a bit clunky sometimes. Currently using search. But especially for new users, it can be intimidating.
Rearranging the Board is challenging sometime. It may be our own incompetence.
I'd like an easier way of laying out a group of stickies.

Return on Investment

Reduces time for reviewing comments and data.
Makes it easier to explain and present to others.

Part of the issue may be that it does too much. I sometimes make a choice to use Jamboard with groups because of its simplicity. Perhaps we need a "dumbed down" interface to be available as well as the more complex ones.

Ease of Integration

Haven't done much with integration, so I don't have much to comment on here.

Now I am annoyed with this form because I seem to have to keep typing words when I don't have anything more to say

Collaboration

It has a very positive impact. Almost all of our work is virtual.

Planning, visualizing, summarizing key possibilities, challenges, and concerns. We use it to review and make sense of comments and suggestions in community meetings and listening tours.
