As workplaces start to reopen post-pandemic, many companies are struggling with the decision of how and where they will operate and how to set up their teams to be the most productive. A large number of companies are choosing to stay fully remote while a smaller portion are choosing to go back into the office full time.

Automation got a bad reputation pretty quickly in the customer service world. Since the 1980s, customers calling support have had automated tellers putting them on hold and repeating the unconvincing assurance, “Your call is very important to us.” Automated tellers turned into chatbots.

As we continue our focus on enhancing the reporting functionality throughout Teamwork this quarter, we’re delighted to introduce the first of three Planned vs Actual Reports — the Planned vs Actual Milestones Report. The aim of this new report is to give you an understanding of the actual status of your Milestones by comparing the original due dates with your current due or completed dates. With this view, you can quickly identify how a project is performing against your plan.

Over the last two months, we’ve put significant focus on building out the reporting functionality in Teamwork. And we’re thrilled to say this is the first of many new reports that will launch this quarter.
