Arguments to stay away from Yammer
• There is no offline access / offline archive to Yammer
• It is easier to follow an email DL thread than using the browser
• Yammer does not have a good notifier
• We cannot attach pictures and other data like in a classical E-Mail message
• It’s hard to find something or stay up to date
• Too much noise in Yammer
• Only single account support in Yammer
Yammer Tips
• Adjust email notification settings• Treat Yammer as your new Distribution List• Each Yammer group has an E-Mail address• Use the Yammer mobile Apps• Reply to a Yammer thread via E-Mail• Search, filter and organize information relevant for you• Use Topics• Look into the “More” Link• Don’t get lost in threads use your Yammer Inbox• Don’t fight it – use it
If everyone in the team narrated their work openly, we wouldn’t need any meetings to assess project status and we would gain a lot of time.

Quantify Engaged MembersTIP
Analyze the number of engaged
members vs. total members.
An engaged member has:
Sent a private message, started a
thread, replied to a thread, liked or
shared a conversation.
Viewed a full conversation, or clicked
to expand a post.
Understand Message VolumeTIP
Analyze the number of messages
posted in a group vs. in a private
message.
Measure the number of monthly
messages posted in the past 6
months.
Analyze Group ActivityTIP
Review the percentage of active
groups on the network.
If a particular group is popular, invite
the group admins to share their best
practices for keeping a group active.
Quantify File SharingTIP
View the total number of files that
have been uploaded to the network
over time.
If files usage is low, organize a
training session on collaboration best
practices.
Understand Notes UsageTIP
Analyze the number of notes that
have been created over time and the
number of unique note edits and
views.
If notes usage is low, organize a
training session on collaboration best
practices.
