Opiniones de Priority Matrix

Excellent Platform to Execute a Strategy by Turning Ideas into actions!

Comentarios: I use Priority Matrix as a way to support my clients with executing their strategy. The prioritization and actions allow individuals and teams to focus on the right actions to get the desired results.

Puntos a favor:

Using Priority Matrix has allowed me and my clients to be more productive and get the right things done on time! I specifically like the customization and flexibility offered by PM. Since I work with a diverse group of people, many have adopted a similar approach and have specific categories of prioritization. Priority Matrix allows me to utilize my client's categories with ease, adding a customer-centric approach to my work.

Contras:

I do not have any strong dislikes. As I begin to fully leverage the capabilities I expect to find opportunities for improvement. Based on my interactions with the PM team I'm confident they will listen and carefully determine improvements that will best suit users.

Wonderful experience using this product

Puntos a favor:

I am continually thrilled using this product. With the instructional videos, learning more each time to take the product to new limits. I have kept tracked of projects and opportunities that I may have missed. I am actually ready for my review and goals for the company this year. Early and thorough. Tagged items really breaks down the data so it is easily searchable, I highly recommend using that feature.

Contras:

I would like more `effort categories. I wanted to transform this to ease billing to Customer. I have just started using the feed to set the effort level, it just doesn't translate well in the reports. Especially 30 and 90 min effort levels.

Love the product, appreciated when it was less complicated

Comentarios: Organization

Puntos a favor:

- Ease of pulling outlook emails into tasks - Ease of being able to view on multiple devices (laptop, ipad, iphone) - Quadrant organization - Customer service is always very quick and helpful

Contras:

It used to be a simpler product which was to its benefit. I have a lot more crashes than I did years ago and issues with the emails linking to the tasks when i want to open again. Font is large compared to other programs and always resets and defaults to large. Additional functions are geared towards team organizing which isn't what everyone needs.

A great tool for planning, understanding, and managing your workload

Comentarios: Priority Matrix allows me to divide all my current and potential project into tasks, and them allocate deadlines for them.
As a visual person, I really appreciate the Gantt chart feature. It shows all deadlines and work periods of all projects/tasks side by side on a timeline. This feature allows me quickly see the workload.
As I work alone (an an independent consultant) it is imperative that I at all times understand the workload ahead of me, in order to agree on realistic deadlines with my clients.

Puntos a favor:

First of all, I really appreciate the amazing customer service that the Priority Matrix team offers. Any question that I had was addressed quickly and professionally. I also really appreciate the flexibility that the software offers. On top of the usual priority matrix quadrants, one can customize all the names of the quadrants to best suite their own way of looking at work (or rather life).

Contras:

While I am sure that there are ways to improve this product, I struggle identify them.

Outstanding application package. Extremely Knowledgeable and Responsive Customer Service/Support

Comentarios: Ability to plan for important/critical tasks more effectively.

Puntos a favor:

-Great tool for Agile Team information Sharing. -Very Effective Project Management Tool -Strikes a Very Good Cord Between Individual Work Packages and Overall Timeline (Gantt Chart) -Very effective tool for both Program and Project teams

Contras:

-Needs more flexibility to help with more Franklin Style daily planning. -Needs more flexibility to import/export data from industry standard tools (i.e. MS OneNote, MS Excel) -Current file import function is can be clumsy

Ever since I read 7 habits of highly successful people, I like to organize in this fashion.

Puntos a favor:

Easy, effective for on the go. Syncs with computer/phone. I set up many professional and personal projects then update/manage as my main source of task mgmt for these topics

Contras:

I need to spend more time learning. I tried to share with a peer (who is less detailed and organized and me) and it was too much for her. I will schedule time for training, so I can be more effective

The best platform for organizing resources and deliverables. Really identify what's most important

Comentarios: focus
efficiency
I don't forget to do things.

Puntos a favor:

Ease of use Multi device syncing Structure/quadrants Word editing/heading customization Intuitive selection of icons based on wording used Easy to add new team members

Contras:

User interface/design (dated icons and other visuals) Lack of design customization Reports ( I don't use them or see value in them but that could just be me)

I love Priority Matrix. Easy to use. Great value.

Comentarios: Peace of mind from knowing I have visibility of everything (even if that is sometimes a little overwhelming).
It's also my single source of truth in terms of To Do's so when I start the day or week, I go to PM and I can pick up right where I left off.

Puntos a favor:

It helps me ensure nothing gets missed and keeps me on track in terms of prioritising competing demands. I can see everything at a glance and it means no more scraps of paper.

I love Priority Matrix and use it everyday.

Comentarios: It helps me manage all my to-dos and keeps me focused on the items that are most important. I have told many people about it.

Puntos a favor:

I love the matrix style and the ability to always have it up on my screen. It helps me organize all my small tasks that do not need to be in my project management software.

Contras:

I do not use it to its full potential by any means but it works for what I need. I do wish I knew more about what all its capabilities are. I also wish there was a phone app so I could add things when I am not by my computer.

Positive. Useful. Valuable.

Puntos a favor:

It is very powerful in helping me to remember and prioritize many tasks at once. I spend much less time now trying to figure out what to do next, and can get on with completing the task at hand.

Contras:

Can be glitchy sometimes. Cust Service was helpful with some problems. The main problem I have is with recurring tasks disappearing to the inbox sometimes when I complete them.

Handy, well-designed productivity tool with great customer support

Puntos a favor:

Priority Matrix has become practically indispensable to me in my project management. As an independent consultant, I find it a powerful and handy tool to keep track of my responsibilities to my clients, to record and track pending obligations, and to manage everything from due dates to vendors to invoicing. There is not a day that I don't use it, and hardly a day that I'm not very glad for it. In addition, I have found the customer support superb--fast, informed, concise and helpful. I've now begun using it with some of my own sub-contractors, and they're finding valuable utility in it too--even as PM makes it possible for us to coordinate our shared projects together elegantly and easily from a distance. Specifically, we can assign each other tasks in shared projects, track each other's progress, leave each other edits, comments, and linked documents, and more. Works like a snap. PM also recently improved the ability to send emails directly from the email window (I use Gmail) to PM projects, including with deadlines, which is yet another upgrade I've valued. Finally, the integration across platforms is seamless (I use it on my iPhone, my iPad and my Mac). In sum: For me it has been a highly useful product, easy to learn and apply, with a great support team.

Contras:

If I could change one thing, it would be to be able to make matrices for projects sub-matrices of other projects. For example, I have multiple projects I'm managing simultaneously for individual clients, and the jobs' complexity requires me to set up their own matrices for each project. But it would be helpful if those projects could all be integrated together underneath the client. I'd also value a fast way for PM to tell me each week what deadlines for tasks are approaching.

This tool helps me keep all my tasks organized and I have recommended it to many people.

Puntos a favor:

The ability to move tasks around as priorities change, add due dates, reminders and notes. I used to be writing and re-writing to do lists constantly, and sometimes things would get lost. I use my 4 quadrants like this: Work due ASAP, Work due soon, Long term work, and back burner.

Contras:

The visual design needs to be updated. I like the visual appeal of Google Keep, but they do not have the functionality PM does. Maybe some options for different fonts, and some other options other than the 4 quadrant? Also, I would like to be able to sometime just show one of the quadrants, and make it a smaller size to go on my desktop without taking up too much space. An integration with ical would also be good, so everything you give a deadline can also be on your calendar if you choose. I like that it syncs to my appon the desktop and phone, but do not like how there is that sign in screen, I want it all to be automatic and seamless like Google Keep is. I have had instances where one updates and the other does not and then I get doubles or things get confusing. Also, the base price is expensive. I think it is worth it personally, but when I recommend it, I can't see too many people using it. I think it would be especially good for students and have recommended to parents of middle school students who are having a hard time keeping organized. What if you had a "lite" version for students that was a lower cost? It would only have four quadrants and just one project or something.

The product has been instrumental in transforming how we manage projects on a company wide spectrum.

Puntos a favor:

The online real time access to forms, drawings, ability to centralize installation notes and sync data to all of our technicians ad email reports to clients sets us apart from anyone in our industry so far in our region. Our documentation for warranty and support services has never been better.

Contras:

the only think i don't like is the absence of a small non-standard feature that we could use but that is not built in yet. The ability to individually remove or add quadrants or single items from or to a group project. We want to be able to quickly give everyone access to all items like happens when when we build a file from an All-Team template, but further, to selectively keep some items private for only certain team members.

PM in biotech product development

Comentarios: I use PM in my personal and professional life. It's a great tool to minimize meetings, track tasks in real time, and communicate with a team in one space. It's biggest value is to be able to have one location to communicate (in real time and from anywhere) with a team, track progress of tasks, and even share documents. I like being able to import emails right from Outlook and to upload documents to projects.
One of the biggest values of PM is time-saving! A lot of time doesn't have to spent arranging meetings to make sure everyone is on the same page-that can all be accomplished from one tool!
Another key feature is all the options for reporting out on the projects. The calendars and gant charts make reporting the progress of projects much easier and much more complete than trying to compile info from many team members.

Puntos a favor:

All the functional capability in one location.

Contras:

Some people that I've trained on how to use find the functions difficult to navigate.

I wouldnt work the way I do without PM.

Puntos a favor:

The thing that I like most is having all tasks in front of me, backed up to the cloud. Once a task is recorded, it wont be complete until I mark it as done, so I will never forget to do something that been asked of me. I don't have to worry about losing a piece of paper or diary with my to-do list inside, its all saved to my account.

Contras:

With a relatively full list of items, the mobile app is cluttered to the point that I dont use it while I am out and about. I think it would benefit from a different layout option to the desktop app as it has a much smaller screen size to work with. The desktop app could be more beautiful too.

Productive and a value

Comentarios: I have been a user for years now. The customer support is tops, live from the USA, the actual owner gets into support if needed. They keep improving the software. The biggest problem is making it a habit to use it daily. The lack of results is because one just does not use it like they should. If you use it daily, actually during the day your bottom line if in business will be positivity affected. You actually get morning updates sent to you on what you have left to do, items that you have entered. I do wish it had history for accounts that you are tracking on your To Do lists - past records, maybe it does and I just have not noticed? It is a honest firm, in the USA, from people that you can understand and who understand what you are going through.

Puntos a favor:

Wrote it already

Contras:

Takes some effort to learn how to use it - not a con item just a notice - it will not work unless you learn how to make it work.

Helps me keep track of a variety of actions. I use it to communicate with a remote location.

Comentarios: Helps me stay on top of the routine actions and ones that are delayed and may be forgotten unless set up on this software.

Puntos a favor:

It is easy to use. I like that it keeps a record of the action after completion without having it in the active view. I also like that I can set up repeating tasks.

Contras:

I don't like that it is solely downloadable. My company is locking down security so tightly that it is almost impossible to get it past the firewall to install.

Perfect app and programme to support time and workload management

Comentarios: Its easy to get lost in lists and too easy to become submerged in daily demands that feel important but don't move the big stuff. Priority Matrix allows you to become more in control and if used daily it means you can focus on the big stuff first. The Windows programme supports the app seamlessly so it all works together. its one of my main apps and wouldn't wish to lose it

Puntos a favor:

The app is cheap and the programme adds to the overall business value

Contras:

There aren't any

Priority Matrix is a blessing for my organizational skills.

Comentarios: I use priority matrix on a daily basis to organize thoughts, ideas, and meetings. I am able to email a quadrant to the group I have a meeting with next with ease. I am very pleased with this program and would recommend to anyone who meets with people on a regular basis.

Puntos a favor:

The ability to create via quadrants then having the ability to email a quadrant to the next group I meet with.

Contras:

The ability to sync sometimes has issues.

Priority Matrix | Applfuence

Comentarios: Very good system in its simplicity yet being able to track and manage all aspects of your business. I use it to coordinate tasks, project activities, and coordinate with peers. As part of my executive staff meeting, we use Priority Matrix for item discussion, setting the agenda for the subsequent meeting, and most of all project status. Customer support is fantastic! I would recommend Priority Matrix without reservations.

Puntos a favor:

Ease of use and its simplicity

Makes organising a whole lot easier

Puntos a favor:

The ability to drag and drop items easily between boxes and projects. I can use it seamlessly across my devices, from my Mac Pro desktop to my iPhone.

Contras:

The fact that it automatically creates a due date if the item has a day or date in the title. I can't create my own icons, such as client's logos or my own icons for personal use.

Overall great - Been using for several years, with continued improvements, will continue to enjoy

Comentarios: Tracking and prioritizing of tasks to make manageable.

Puntos a favor:

Ability to post from mail directly for follow-ups. Also, the ability to prioritize by quadrants. Use daily.

Contras:

Wish the standard version allowed view of planned time required , per quadrant (capacity review), of if could export to get a view of the load of work by quadrant.

My personal secretary

Comentarios: Priority Matrix is the first "list" app that I was ever able to use routinely. PM provides ability to not only easily collect tasks but also to prioritize and categorize them in a single dashboard. Filtering projects and tasks allows me to drill down and create a master task list of those tasks most important to me at the moment.

Puntos a favor:

The multiple levels of organization, nested and in one place

Contras:

I'd like more Windows(tm) actions like double clicking on a project template title should select instead of having to go to a button to initiate the action.

This app keeps my brain from exploding

Comentarios: I use this app to prioritize both bigger projects and smaller tasks, and I integrate them with my google calendar. I really don't know how I would handle my multiple reporting relationships and responsibilities without it, and I'm so grateful for it.

Puntos a favor:

Its flexible way to record, track, and schedule various aspects of the projects I manage.

Contras:

It is somewhat customizable, but I would like some more customization possibilities, like more/customized icons to mark tasks.

Priority matrix manages all of my work and personal tasks

Comentarios: Organization

Puntos a favor:

Mobile and PC syncing. I like how updates that I make to my computer can be viewed in the iPhone app

Contras:

I would like to be able to have sub tasks, similar to what you can do in Omni focus. Also at times the software can be glitchy and notes get deleted
