What do you like best about Functionly?

The tool is very simple to use, but more importantly it encourages you to think differently about work design. When used properly it requires you to think beyond a 'cascade' of goals to a truly functional design.

It can help clarify roles and decision rights. It forces teams to have more meaningful conversations

It helped my most recent client address issues that had previously been a constant challenge and point of conflict. it also helped reinforce what they all agreed on, which was more than they thought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Functionly?

There are occasionally too many 'clicks' required which can slow you down and for inexperienced users can cause some confusion but this is being remedied in each subsequent update Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Functionly:

Great tool to integrate into your tool kit.

Be prepared to put the time in up front to get the inputs right (to state the obvious - garbage in, garbage out). Once that's done the rest is simple and requires only a small commitment to keep it up to date.

When using the tool always start with defining your functional library, then move on to team structure and finally individual design.

You could easily see this as a re-org tool, that you use once and then not look at until the next re-org. If you use this on a regular basis the inevitable reorgs are much simpler and more effective Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Functionly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Critical decisions and responsibilities are occasionally lost within the quagmire of stuff that some of my clients are dealing with as they scale. This causes both ineffectiveness and sometimes conflict Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Functionly?

I love a lot of things - the intuitive drag and drop functionality, the way information is visualised and the ability to plan multiple scenarios whilst retaining master. I also love the potential of the product and what it could solve for us in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Functionly?

Has been a little buggy in some instances however the support team is onto fixes and workarounds right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Functionly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Functionly is helping us paint a picture of our organisation in a way that truly reflects how we work and plan for the future in an unconstrained way. The greatest so far was when realised a major gap when mapping accountabilities. The way Functionly visualised it for us made it so obvious, it changed the conversation with key stakeholders in a positive way. It was no longer unimportant and uncertain but clear and urgent. It meant we could spend more time working on a solution instead of understanding the problem to be fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We'd really like to be able to see budget distribution across departments and teams. But the rate of change and improvement in the application has been astonishing.

Recommendations to others considering Functionly:

What problems is Functionly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having to figure out how to use Excel, PowerPoint and Org-Charts to get the accountabilities, people structure and alignment to work. Gone are the days of those damn connection lines... Functionly makes this so good and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not being able to identify who the lead is for a shared function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
