Overall Satisfaction with Wunderlist

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Wunderlist is used in some departments as an informal organizational tool. There is no requirement to use it, but my department finds it helpful to keep it updated. It's a great way to keep everyone on the same page and also track priorities, due dates, and assigned personnel. When priorities change (which happens all the time), it's very easy and fast to update, and immediately everyone knows what's going on. Personally, I like it for its ability to show me all of my tasks on one page that's easy to sort.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Keeps everyone informed of priorities, due dates, and person assigned
Sorts tasks into categories using the hashtag symbol
Provides easy-to-read additional details
Tracks completion and what's still left to do

Cons

Sub-tasks should have their own separate due dates
The main list needs some more intuitive tools to sort the list in any way I choose
Hovering over links should show a description of how to use it. For example, it would have been nice to know right away that double-clicking on a task is the way to open the details list.

Return on Investment

Less chance of missed deadlines
Improved prioritization of tasks and awareness of deadlines

Likelihood to Recommend

Wunderlist is good for departments with lots of people, especially if they're working from different geographic areas. It's also good when there are a number of projects on the go all with different deadlines and sub-tasks. I also find it helpful in situations where one person just needs an organizational tool to track their own things.
