Easy to use and understand

Software is very useful. However, sometimes when viewing it on a zoom call, the formatting is a little hard to see everything (Scorecard, etc.). Also, the Accountability Chart is a little clunky with the viewing options. Esp. when one person has a lot of direct reports. I wish the accountability chart was more like the format in Traction® Tools (mytractiontools.com). There is a better view option, where you can see everyone in the chart.

Ninety.io is GREAT! I have truly appreciated what Ninety.io has to offer as an admin assistant working in the EOS community. The tools are very helpful and keep me organized and prepared. I specifically love that it is easy to use, easy to keep our data integrated, and easy to get support from the Ninety.io support team when I need help!

Ninety needs to have a Gant Chart functionality with milestones and rocks to show progress. Just having dates with deadlines is not enough when setting goals.

Very easy to use. Intuitive and clean.

When creating a task from a Milestone, the naming convention on the TO DO page should have the naming convention hierarchy flipped so it is Kingdom > Phylum >Class. Right now, it is difficult to find your task because the default sorting calls out by Milestone:Task > Rock. it's hard to find what you are looking for when in project mode and you are looking for the next thing sequentially. Sorting by Rock > Task would be more intuitive for trying to bang out projects, rather than hunting and pecking for your task. When setting deadlines on TO DO's vs when in the Rock:Milestones, the dates don't change on the other page. Tie them together because intuitively, I'm in the Rocks, creating TO DOs and putting dates on them chronologically to see them all in one place and mapping out a timeline for that Rock. When you change those dates in the Rock to adjust deadlines, the TO DO page doesn't change dates it sorts out priorities differently due to this. The lack of continuity undoes any sense of organization. TO DO's may show off-track but if you reset timelines on the Rock page, it has different input. If this is gearing up towards this being a company workspace and accountability tool, a Gantt Chart for for the Rocks would be pretty nice. The formatting within the free text description fields often doesn't mesh well with word. If I cut and paste out of a word doc, i have to reformat the bullet points or spacing in 90. Often when making edits and saving, 90 will insert extra blank lines into the formatting so the layout gets more spread out every time I use it. It will require going in and manually deleting blank lines to tighten up the doc. Try to get formatting features more in alignment with Word. The "Process Docs", individually do not print, so it is essentially useless in creating a company manual if the staff does not have access to the 90 platform, which many of our field staff do not. I can create a process outline in Word, cut/paste it into 90 and the formatting gets jacked up, which requires redoing it in 90. Once in 90 you cannot print an individual process, it only exports the master menu. At this point, it's easier for me to manage process documentation that needs a sophisticated text/doc formatting in a Word Doc. Creating a Manual with a TofC, dropdown menus and title sections on company letterhead is a better finished product. The Process page often gets hung up and doesn't load. Great concept, poor execution. It's easier for me to manage projects with a filtered spread sheet than with the 90 platform. At this point, for PM, I'd rather use a different software.

Keep meetings streamlined and focused.

We have been using Ninety.io for a few weeks and it's great. So far the only issue that that when a person is on the leadership team and that person creates a department rock, it shows up as a company rock as well. We were informed that Ninety.io is working on this issue and an upgrade is expected withing a few weeks. The L10 agenda/feature is awesome. Customer service is very good.
