Quick updates that get right to the point
What do you like best?
There are lots of productivity and project management solutions with tons of features that can cause lots of confusion, stress and clutter. Often times, I prefer using a solution like Weekly Update that keeps us posted on critical information and lets us work out most of the details on our own. Weekly Update has a simple interface with straightforward functionality. I like getting notified through email since I usually have notification I can get instantly on my phone.
What do you dislike?
Weekly Update does a good job at what it focuses on doing, so I can't say anything bad about my experience with it thus far. Of course, when we do want to have more collaborative features, we'll have to use a different application.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd use Weekly Update for basic status updates. Even though there aren't as many productivity features as many other software, it can be a good fit for teams that like to keep things simple and work better independently.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Weekly Update enables us to have an automated type of notification system that updates the entire group on individual progress. I think that since many people are often working on their own, Weekly Update helps to periodically mesh everyone's activities together and put them in perspective of group goals. It's a good reminder system to make sure each group member is on pace to finish their work as initially specified.
