Yammer

Any of you o365ers use Yammer? if so, what for? discuss
-
We HAVE it and used it even more moving to O365 as it did not used to be an MS product. It's well made and works well, but even having tried it a few times we just fail to find good uses for it. It is too much "yet another thing" to deal with, does not handle data persistence elegantly and replicates features like IM that you do not want to be replicating.
-
We used to use it. It is Facebook for your internal team, is what I would call it. I would think it would be really useful for some companies. But because we are all remote we needed a bit more communication/didn't want to have another thing to use. Skype is what we use to communicate.
-
considering using it for tracking projects with developers etc.

Exactly. If you have an enormous company, I could see it working for getting social. The issue is, is that you put something in there that you want people to see and it generally just disappears and no one sees it, even if they are trying to look. It's not as useful as a Twitter replacement for a company and does a terrible job of showing you things that you care about.

Can't imagine how it would work in any situation where you want to keep track of things, that's specifically where it falls short.

well, then let's shut this sucker down! burn yammer burn.

Sadly, yeah. I like the idea, but you need a large yet trivial use case to make it useful. We just don't. Anything we have in group discussions needs to be maintained somewhere.

If you have an O365 account, check planner app. its a mini project management tool which works like Trello.

I don't have that app in my list.... wonder why?

I've looked for it in mine as well and don't see it. A link to add it would be much appreciated.
-
Looks like it's being rolled out slowly over 2016. I don't have it either. We use and love Trello, so I'd be interested in seeing how it compares. From the video, it looks pretty cool. I've no doubt I'll end up disappointed.

@KyleCaminita Check out JIRA for this.
