Constellation Research Publishes New Report About Emerging Social Task Management Market
Report reveals an evolution in social business tools from simple sharing to "getting work done."
San Francisco, CA, October 05, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Constellation Research, Inc., the award-winning research and advisory firm focused on disruptive technologies, announced the publication of "Getting Work Done With Social Task Management," a new research report authored by Vice President and Principal Analyst, Alan Lepofsky. This report provides an introduction to the emerging market for Social Task Management (STM) software. The report also outlines the shortcomings of traditional project management tools and explains how those shortcomings can be solved using an STM platform. The report notes:
"Many of the tools and processes that organizations currently use for project management were created years ago and lack the collaboration features that are common in today’s enterprise social networking platforms. These legacy tools suffer from a variety of shortcomings that can impede the successful completion of a project. A new generation of task management tools is now emerging -- called Social Task Management, or STM. These STM platforms augment standard project management features, such as assignments, due dates and priorities, with modern social networking features enabling people to work together more efficiently."
This report reveals:
The shortcomings of traditional project management tools
How social task management applies key social networking features to help employees get work done
The benefits of social task management
Actionable advice to help organizations get started with social task management
A list of the key vendors in the STM market
Lepofsky said, “It's been exciting to watch this market emerge, as social task management tools provide organizations a solid use case for getting their employees to use social networking. Now teams can easily manage all the tasks and associated content across all the projects they are working on so that everyone can benefit from and contribute to the information."
This latest report fits into Constellation’s business-focused research theme, The Future of Work.

Research Theme: The Future of Work
The Future of Work analyzes the technological, demographical and cultural forces challenging the traditional paradigm of work. Constellation has identified a confluence of trends across people, processes and technology that is influencing today's working environment. In fact, where we work, when we work, how we work, what we work on, and why we work have dramatically shifted.
The Future of Work not only analyzes those trends and their effects, but arms clients with the knowledge to use those trends to create an engaged, empowered and efficient workforce. Collaborative, social, mobile and other disruptive technologies are introducing new models of work that diverge from or contradict legacy paradigms.
Lead analysts: Alan Lepofsky and Yvette Cameron
