On the March 21st post entitled, “Quick and easy IT productivity wins” by Dan Tynan, he shared his winning tactic on using Harvest Co-op to monitor everyone’s activity in real time.

This is under “IT productivity win No. 7: Get social” topic.

Bienvenido David III, CEO at Java development company TeamEXtension, uses Harvest Co-op, a Twitter-like tool that allows his team to track in real time what anyone is doing at any time.

“We use it more for keeping track of resources instead of keeping track of projects or tasks,” he says. “If someone is working on something that’s not planned and might affect a project — like side requests from bosses, miscommunicated tasks, or work delays — we catch that immediately. We all think about our day before we start, then enter our agenda into Co-Op for that day. This extra communication channel helps get everyone in sync and improves our productivity.”
