Overall Satisfaction with OneNote

We used OneNote while developing a health care exchange application, and to have the business requirements in agile scrum. It was easy for business analysts, developers and QAs to have a single place to write, review, and update the user story and include a date modified and history etc.
  • Note updating and taking.
  • Office OneNote does really well in history and comparison of notes. This helped us to know when the Business Analyst or Product Team updated what.
  • The recently available OneNote Online, is also an addition.
  • OneNote and OneDrive should have some kind of link. If they bring that it would be excellent.
  • In Windows 10, the OneNote App needs some improvement from a UI perspective.
  • Positive - Comes along with Microsoft Office.
  • Positive - Long term requirement gathering and storage
  • Negative - File attachment feature needs to be improved
I had used IBM Doors for requirement gathering though a document repository. It was hard to maintain as we had to always download the latest docs on a local [drive]. OneNote overcame this issue.
OneNote is well suited for business requirement gathering as per my experience. Students can also use it to have their notes from a lecture/class in a date wise manner.
