• Top Ten Reasons to Enter Time in Project Insight - #2 and #1

  If your project management software implementation includes asking team members to enter time in the system, then you will want to develop a communication plan to make the effort fun. Again, this top ten list is from one of our culturally young customers that wanted to use the 'carrot ' method to incentivize their team to enter time on a daily basis. Here are the final two reasons they came up with for tracking time in Project Insight, web project management software:  #2 - Because your granddad punched that time clock on the shop floor every day for 30 years, and you can't click a mouse? #1 - Because it's the second most fun thing you can do with your right hand. We hope you had a good laugh over this list. Feel free to add your fun reasons as comments here.   Cynthia K.
