Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Wunderlist is used across the whole organization. It is an easy way to share important tasks on different projects as well as check in on what has already been done/or that which has yet to be done. In this way, it addresses miscommunication across teams ensuring that everyone is on the same page and can see updates in real-time.

Pros and Cons

It creates a wonderful structure for different unrelated tasks to be visible and accessible. This means it's easy to designate information into different areas and flows intuitively when you either have to input more tasks or find a past one.
The ability to allocate tasks to other members of a team means that there can be updates in real-time on different lists which is a real godsend when trying to figure out where a project is at.
The integration of different lists with due dates around similar times into one place [the Today List] is super helpful in giving you an overview of what needs to be done. This also ensures that a to-do doesn't get lost somewhere.

An easier way to input time and dates when entering in information on the fly would be an appreciated additive.
A more streamlined desk pop up of today tasks that comes up with the little 'add task pop up'. This would help focus in on daily tasks quicker than going into the application each time.
The ability to customize your own background, font size and color would be a lovely add-on

Return on Investment

Wunderlist has ensured that I never miss a small detail which has meant that I have had a system in place through which to double check each element in my work—only increasing the quality of it. This is a subtle but integral element for ROI.
It has helped the team work quicker and more efficiently through tasks ensuring that nothing gets left undone.

Alternatives Considered

Todoist

Wunderlist integrates more smoothly on both Mac and iPhone—the setup is so similar on both it makes it far more efficient to work with.

Support Rating

Most people to whom I have recommended this have loved it for the same reasons I have: it is so intuitive to use. Often it is hard to adapt a new application into your general tech habits but this fulfills a need you weren't even aware you had and so becomes easy to adopt. Before too long you rely on the information you put in and how much it helps order your tasks in your own mind.

Likelihood to Recommend

Wunderlist is well suited for professional and casual needs; anywhere someone wishes to outline what needs to be done in an ordered and efficient way. It is less appropriate if you rely heavily on a calendar, etc. as you will have to manually input information from one platform to the other.
