Daily we use the workstreams and the meeting components. THe OKR component is something used about 1x per month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkBoard?

The meeting components and the ties to workstreams feel like an afterthought. Not as strong as it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Worst UI in the whole B2B world"
0/5
What do you like best about WorkBoard?

Nothing I can think of. OKRs are a very good thing for a company but if you want acceptance and adoption, you must spoil your employees with something that's easy to use and provides value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkBoard?

UI is the worst I've ever seen. The navigation is a total mess and I find myself clicking around just trying to do the simplest things. I guess the app has never been used by the people that created it. I hope we're gonna cancel our contract with them soon and use a tool that's actually working.

What do you like best about WorkBoard?

WoBo enabled us to align on business results, and it changed the culture of our division to be more outcome oriented. It also helped us close the accountability gap by increasing transparency in our progress towards the Key Results. It is a great tool for aligning and collaborate on Objectives and Key Results.

What do you dislike about WorkBoard?

It would be great if WoBo allowed for read-only licenses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Shines a light on the long range, important work so it can grow and flourish"
4.5/5
What do you like best about WorkBoard?

Envisioning “best possible outcomes” has changed what we imagine we can accomplish. We now create a shared understanding of ideal outcomes that motivates the team and pushes us further than before, knowing we may not always achieve complete success. Aligning our results also gets people to think about how their daily effort contributes to the success of the organization and creates a sense of entrepreneurship.

The transition from yearly goals to quarterly OKRs has been invaluable for a company in the rapidly developing technology space of automotive batteries. We have four times the opportunity to review our position in the industry and refresh what needs to be accomplished across the organization. This natural cadence of attention to achievable, near term results in the context of long range objectives is part of Workboard’s DNA.

There are features in Workboard that I have come to appreciate. I have found Agile Scrum effective for certain types of development projects, but I had always used a physical Kanban (task tracking board). With a global team working on our project, I’ve come to see that having the flexibility of virtual Kanban keeps the story cards visible to all, making it easier to stay up to date and connected. There are also a number of helpful tools to visualize how our team’s activities are connected and what is holding results back, so we can respond and support the effort. And the progress is visible at all levels of the company and across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkBoard?

We have unique, complex, highly technical, and interconnected global projects that must execute on strict timelines for automotive OEMs. In translating output from OKR sessions into Workboard we pushed the process and the software, and frankly sometimes it broke. But WoBo grew with us, taking our feedback seriously and implementing fixes quickly. Our Engagement Lead, Natalie, has been tireless in addressing issues and keeping them from interfering with our progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Finally! A Tool that Connects Work to Goals"
5/5
What do you like best about WorkBoard?

The visualization of work is extremely powerful. Between the workstreams and the teams, being able to see the status of individual items in boards and the workload in teams, it's instantly visible when there's an issue; and, much easier to re-balance work to ensure deadlines are met without burning out people. It makes the whole team more effective and collaborative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkBoard?

I don't dislike anything. I would like to see a couple of improvements in the weekly reporting as the email that is generated isn't necessarily formatted the way I would like, but it's really a minor issue for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A True Strategy Product for Leaders"
5/5
What do you like best about WorkBoard?

Workboard allows me to see initiatives from the top down (FINALLY!) as well as initiatives that align or overlap from many areas of the company. I appreciate that the product's architecture allows for a more modern approach to goals that truly reflect the way they work in businesses. Workboard was the only product we reviewed that wasn't task management, and they allow for multiple views for every initiative. Perhaps my favorite perk is the integration with Asana that enables my individual contributors to work in their task and project tools without having to duplicate anything in Workboard. It's slick. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about WorkBoard?

I'm still trying to figure out charts and utilizing the Running Business Reviews beyond text and images. I want my dashboards to be better, but I don't feel that there is enough of the data I want inside of Workboard. It feels like you need to have everything in Workboard before you can make it really work - as in, every leader needs to be able to have goals in the system before things can connect well to one another. I wonder if there might be a better way to onboard for the first year... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
