Do you agree that products always have room for improvement?
"Every day there are little things in software that we find annoying. Some write books about it, like Annoyances.org, but I thought this site would be more constructive.

When I look at Microsoft Viva Insights, I can see the people I communicate most with, but not whether it’s going up or down over time.
I want to see the trend so I know who I should spend some more time with.
It should show how far up or down someone has moved, similar to a leaderboard.
Figure: The gain or loss arrow gives a nice indicator of change in positionFigure: I should be able to see who has done more or less communication this month
I liked the idea of Outlook giving me time to do work without interruption. All these little appointments appeared in my calendar and I was going to focus and get work done.
Clearly I was dreaming. Does anyone successfully use the auto created appointments “Focus time”?
Figure: I had heaps of these auto created appointments. People interrupted me anyway, so with a heavy heart, I deleted them
Suggestion #1
> Microsoft Viva Insights has scheduled your focus time in accordance with your focus plan and work week settings. > To edit your settings, visit your settings page at Protect Time Settings.
In an Outlook appointment, when I decide to click this link, I expected to see a button “Delete” or “Unsubscribe”
Suggestion #2
When using this people don’t think of it as a “Plan”… I reckon they think of it as a recurring appointment.
So testing it out, I click “Get Started”…
Figure: Try it out by clicking “Get started”
I am just looking, I should be able to click “Cancel”… I did not know what “Leave Plan” was about.
Also popping up these questions should only happen after I have been using it for more than 24 hours.
Figure: This was weird. You don’t want to be asking users questions this early. It is annoying to the user and useless data for Microsoft
