Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Integration with Miro provides access to robust diagramming tools, generous free plans allows unlimited team boards.
  • Method Grid allows us to map anything our team does. Very simple grid system. Highly flexible. It allows to display documents, external links, videos, checklist, images and cloud documents. Easy, quick and fast to pickup. Organises memorialize and project data and process steps. User friendly. Intuitive tool.
  • This is absolutely an amazing tool to manage your projects with your organization. Our business project management has significantly improved and makes everything much easier. The great thing about Method Grid is that you can provide updates and comments to your team members. It offers great customization features that many will enjoy.
  • Method Grid is an intuitive way to store knowledge for easy retrieval by other members of our team. It is totally configurable to fit your processes and set up a taxonomy that works for your business. Colleagues find it much easier to find the current, approved information they need than storing in a network or cloud drive due to the structural design being consistent with our processes. The software is constantly being enhanced with new features and the team is highly responsive to suggestions for improvements. It's now possible to clone grids and have checklists in them. We use this as an on-boarding tool to make sure everyone goes through a consistent set of information to ensure everyone is using the same processes.
  • Intuitive interface and simple structure actually make this a surprisingly powerful and flexible tool for managing many aspects of a professional services business IP.

Cons

  • Lack of advanced whiteboarding features compared to complex tools, No Gantt charts or calendar views for project planning.
  • No dislikes. Great software to share and capture knowledge.
  • At first it can take quite some time for your business to find all the great functions this software has to offer. Once you have learned everything, the whole process is so simple and very helpful.
  • It's free-form nature, whilst giving massive flexibility, means you need to spend some time to plan out a structure. We started a bit too ad-hoc and needed to restructure how we store data. I would recommend creating a steering team (any proper implementation should have one!).
  • We were an early user and new features have continuously been added.
