The way we need to work
Editor’s note: ProjectBoss was a sponsor of the 2018 Hot Firm + AE Industry Awards Conference in Dallas. “T echnology presumes there’s just one right way to do things and there never is.” – Robert M. Pirsig Do you have software that you hate using? Is it too complex? Do you only have access to critical information, files, and documents at the office?
Too often, technology tries to make people work and think a certain way. From overly complicated user interfaces to poorly designed tools, people waste countless frustrating hours trying to get software and other technologies to work the way they want, and need, it to work. We kept this in mind while building our business and project management platform. Architects and engineers want to work the way they are used to working, not how a group of software developers feel they should work. This led to us creating multiple ways to create, manage, and track projects. Some project managers were accustomed to using Microsoft Project, so we included Gantt chart functionality. Other managers were more comfortable using a calendar-based tool, so we built in the ability to use iCalendar, Outlook, Gmail, or any other calendar application. We also included the ability to manage and track
timesheets in multiple ways – in real time, at the end of the day, or at the end of the week. In addition, we made ProjectBoss available to any device with a web browser – no software to install, no updates, no apps that seem to always crash. “From overly complicated user interfaces to poorly designed tools, people waste countless frustrating hours trying to get software and other technologies to work the way they want, and need, it to work.” According to a recent study, remote working arrangements have increased by 140 percent since
