Hi Lori, I don’t have any study to put my fingers on. I see a number of sites that suggest that you have to repeat a new behavior some 20+ times before it becomes a habit, but I don’t know if there is any hard research behind that, e.g. if people tested behaviors after 10 repetitions versus 30. Good question.

As one of the other comments stated it looks like this software was built to take the human factor out of it. Which means less bad habits used and less mistakes by the people that aren’t to savvy with a computer. I have also watched the IT guys where I work have to try and figure out how to fix something that somebody did in a program that it wasn’t meant for. This is a great idea, take the guess work out of their hands and give them a software that can be used by literally anyone.

Thanks for sharing this. It’s a good resource. I been wondering what is the purpose of project management software and now I already knew what it’s for and how it works.

The fact that a progress report was the number one thing the bosses look for is amazing to me. Where I used to work we had this report that ever body had to fill out every Tuesday, it was a progress report that they called a “Brief. If they would have used the project management software mentioned here this would have saved the employees a lot of time and effort every week and it probably would have been in a better format then just Microsoft word. I will definitely pass this on the the girls that still work there maybe they can convince them to change. Thanks for the information it will be very helpful.

This program seems to have been designed with some unique features that account for and provide a solution to overcome the issues of human behavior – workers’ bad tendencies. Features like automatic time stamp on update inputs and drag and drop email feature makes it easy for IT dummies to use the Project management software so they don’t get stuck figuring out how to update their progress. I am an IT guy and sometimes I even get stuck with some other software figuring out how to get it to do something instead of focusing on the task itself.

Of the five types of uses, the ones that sound foreign to me are gantt chart and scope management. I totally and resoundingly agree that the time spent devising a well organized team project can become a big waste of time and money when the team members working on the project become so fixated on finishing their tasks in minimal time they fail to provide enough data into the software. Consequently, other team members do not get the benefit of progress details which could result in further inefficiency as co-workers step over each other’s tasks and the project suffers and meeting the deadline becomes more challenging. I have experienced this first hand having taken part in a programming project with many moving parts.

That is an interesting discovery, isn’t it? Do you think it really is true that businesses that are highly organized and that use PM tools accomplish more? I would imagine you do, and it certainly makes since. There seems to be the need for a staff/worker wide period of time when EVERYONE is lead into an experience of LEARNING how to use PM tools as a way of life. How many days does it take to break a bad (or any) habit? I think it’s 28 days. If I had a powerful leader helping me to incorporate the use of organization tools for a whole month I think it might just work…especially if everyone else were conforming to this same goal with me. Do you have any studies on something like that?
