Teams lost in tactics? Weekdone brings purpose and priority to your projects
Pros
- It connects daily work to personal, team, department and organizational long-term goals.
- Provides leadership with visibility into the output of individuals, teams, and departments.
- Improves employee engagement with a modern approach to 360-degree staff/manager feedback, complete with emoji.
- Connects status reporting with existing systems of record (Basecamp, Asana, Trello, Teamwork, etc) to avoid redundant data entry.
- Brings the OKR discipline to an organization who needs a structure for their prioritization planning.
- The mobile app makes entry effortless. I could give weekly feedback to direct reports as I was walking between meetings on my phone.
Cons
- User setup and management and team/department creation is not a trivial effort. Requires some deliberate planning.
- The deadlines for plans don't connect to the due dates for tasks in systems of record. That can get confusing when Asana says a task is due next week but Weekdone still has a due date of tomorrow.
- I'd love to see more contextual support for sections like employee feedback. Maybe a sentence or two suggesting feedback based on the report's weekly entry. If a person had three Problems and only one Progress, Weekdone could suggest some corrective action to make it easier for the management to mitigate problems before they get ugly.
Return on Investment
- Catching employee dissatisfaction before it grows and spreads.
- Saved time from having to manually summarize accomplishments from project management systems.
- Provided context into work planned vs work completed and added context to common blockers.
- Provide visibility into progress over time (week / quarter / annual goals) and trendlines for individuals/teams/departments/organization.
- The only negative is, some people grumble at adding yet another system to their workday.

A to-do list for our entire organization!
Pros
- Creating plans, tracking progress, and logging potential problems on one page is very nice.
- The company dashboard allows colleagues to stay up to date on quarterly progress.
Cons
- I don't know that the weekly job satisfaction rating is necessarily helpful. Since this score is shown to our entire network at the end of each week, I'm unsure how truthful employees actually are in that aspect.
Return on Investment
- Using Weekdone has helped us meet our quarterly business objectives by tracking each employee's progress.
- We have been able to shift resources based on the progress tracked in Weekdone. If we find that a particular project is taking too long or costing too much, we are able to evaluate as needed. We were not able to see this as easily without Weekdone.
