As a matter of fact, I even blogged about OneNote being used extensively in the field of project management. Here are a few examples I have seen from my experience: Project Meeting artifacts The beauty about OneNote is that due to its nature (informal note taking), it can be used in a variety of different ways.

That means that you do not need to download the file or even have OneNote installed if you want to make quick OneNote changes “on the fly”. Like the rest of MS Office tools, OneNote can be edited in the browser. This makes OneNote easily accessible from the “field,” where there is no time to create formal documents. Just like SharePoint, OneDrive, and other MS Office tools, OneNote also has a mobile app. No more attachments and users asking to send them an Agenda! Likewise, you can embed notes into your Appointment invite with just a click of a button. You can pull meeting details into OneNote from Outlook. OneNote has a pretty cool integration with Outlook. So, in summary, you can no longer escape OneNote – it is everywhere! :-) By being a default component of SharePoint and making it easily accessible, OneNote is a no-brainer when it comes to quick note-taking while working with other types of content. That also includes Office 365 Groups assets like Planner and Teams. Likewise, every time you create an Office 365 Group, OneNote is also included by default and is accessed via prominent link/navigation. And there is usually a link from Quick Launch navigation as well. That’s right, every time you create a new SharePoint site, OneNote notebook is included by default (it resides in the Site Assets library). I will admit that I never thought much of OneNote until it became a default staple of SharePoint and Office 365. Reason 3: Part of SharePoint Sites and Office 365 Groups For example, you can create a Notebook for each project. Of course, you can create many different notebooks. Pages and Sections make up a single Notebook. A section is how you would typically break down your paper notebook, right? So you can have a section for Meetings, a section for Project Issues, Business requirements, etc. For example, you could create a page for each meeting, where agenda and meeting minutes would be stored. Pages would be your regular pages in a notebook. Just like with the regular, paper-based notebook, where you have different pages and sections, OneNote follows the same exact terminology and methodology. OneNote follows a “paper” notebook approach for organizing and storing notes electronically. It has a horizontal ribbon across the top, where you can access all the commands and common operations. OneNote employs a familiar interface that is already part of other MS Office tools, like Word, Excel, PowerPoint. Here are the reasons, that, in my opinion, make OneNote a standout tool.

It is available for free on Windows PCs and is also included as part of SharePoint/Office 365 subscription. OneNote is Microsoft’s digital note-taking application. Let me explain what this is all about and why you might want to look into this tool and make it THE tool of choice for your organization.
Luckily, there is a tool to handle and store that ” everything else” category, and that tool is called OneNote. That category could include informal notes, drafts, knowledge base, wiki, etc. And then we usually have “ everything else” category – which does not fit the profile of any of the content above. For documents – we have a document library, for events – we have Outlook calendar, for tasks – Tasks Web part or Planner and for Contacts – Contacts web part. For each type of content, we have a place to store and organize it in SharePoint. As part of the daily work routine, we deal with documents, tasks, contacts (people) and events.
