OneNote

We use OneNote in my organization to share information about processes and applications that are shared across teams. It is very helpful to have a centralized spot to have documentation that can be viewed and edited by everyone that needs it. The app allows the data to be well organized and jotted down quickly.

• knowledge transfer is easier
• note taking is improved
• documentation is easier to update

When switching between WFH and Office environments it’s important that I have a way to access the notes I take in an environment vs the other. In addition, it’s quite nice to have sub categories to organize the notes per a topic (e.g. epic, feature, tool, etc) plus pages with specific topics relative to each epic, feature, tool, etc. e.g. meeting A about Feature X, discussion B about Tool Y. Having extra features like check boxes are quite helpful as well. Another thing I like is that the paragraphs are not linear which means you can create a new paragraph anywhere.

Another great approach is to share notes for one-on-ones because it brings a dynamic page to collaborate.

• Having a folder with multiple one on ones is helpful
• Having a folder per employee that will address multiple topics is also helpful and keep things organized
• Organization is the key feature delivered by OneNote

OneNote serves as a personal notebook to make sure that you are able to make notes.

It can come handy in many ways.

While mostly it is for notes relating to work, for example meeting notes, plans, etc, but more importantly, it also serves as a safe and secure place to allow you to add more personal notes, whether they are notes from one-on-ones with colleagues, or general personal planning.

It also helps that there are apps for nearly every device, be it a Windows machine, a Mac, an iPad or your phone.

• Easy note taking
• Private
• Can be done via multiple devices, all in sync
