How many hours a week are you wasting when it comes to day-to-day job stress, complex internal processes, and completing tasks outside your main role? The answer may depend on whether you live in Europe or the United States.
In Europe, Project Managers report wasting up to three hours per week or 20 working days a year, according to a survey of 1200 project managers from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands.1
Would you believe these results would be an improvement when compared to U.S. project managers? U.S. survey respondents say they waste more than 7 hours per week per person because of collaboration issues, adding up to 350 hours, or nearly 9 weeks per year.2 That’s more than twice the lost productivity time of their European counterparts.
Clearly, globally, project managers are under pressure managing numerous projects, deadlines, and tasks – leveraging ineffective or too many collaboration tools.
As a result, disparate productivity tools means chaos reigns supreme, costing organizations time and money as it becomes harder to complete projects on time, on budget, and at a high quality.
