Compare Board Papers vs. Yabbu

Installed in a SharePoint site collection, the Board Papers board portal lets you quickly set up meetings and create agendas to organize your documents.

Before diving into yet another unproductive video conference or in-person meeting, consider utilizing Yabbu. Yabbu serves as a straightforward, secure platform for a shared agenda, enabling teams to address concerns, share files, and delegate tasks prior to convening in real time. This approach ensures everyone is truly aligned from the start. All meeting-related elements—communication, tasks, decisions, documents, and automatically generated minutes—are organized in a centralized location. An engaging meeting agenda that includes specific questions and intentional participants helps eliminate unnecessary “reply-all” emails and distracting messages in group chats. By allowing participants to express their thoughts in writing beforehand, everyone has an opportunity to contribute and reflect before voicing their opinions. This fosters a variety of viewpoints and mitigates extrovert bias. Customers have reported saving between 30%-50% of their time on emails, group discussions, meetings, follow-ups, and documentation simply by preparing the agenda and addressing topics in advance of the meeting. Ultimately, this leads to more productive and focused meetings that make the best use of everyone’s time.
