According to the Standish Group Chaos report, if you measure project success as on time, on budget and fully functional, only 32 percent of projects are identified by the report as being successful. 44 percent are identified as challenged, being over budget, late and/or offers less than the promised functionality. What’s worse, 24 percent of projects are cancelled or never completed. That adds up to a pretty dismal 68 percent failure rate.

PPM (Project and Portfolio Management) systems fail because they don’t allow people to work the way people really work and they don’t manage ALL work, ad hoc work, unstructured work, or other personal tasks that impact team members. People need to balance, prioritize, negotiate, collaborate, and deliver on a whole range of work—not just projects. Unlike other solutions, AtTask is not a one-trick pony for project managers who treat people like conference rooms. People are not lifeless resources to be allocated like overhead projectors. AtTask is for real people in the real world.
