ABOUT HANDSHAKE™

the problem

Too often we find the work people are doing is not the same work that management thought they were doing.  Not everyone is on the same sheet of music.  This is an especially serious problem for projects with large project teams or teams with people working in different locations.  In short order those projects end up painfully stuck in the ditch - behind schedule, over budget, and with dissatisfied customers.  It takes an investment of man-hours, time and money (wasted) to pull these projects out of the ditch.  Even more to repair damaged customer expectations.  And it happens all the time.

The Handshake Solution

What's needed is a tool that (1) automatically keeps everyone on your project teams up to date about recent progress, (2) gives the people doing the work an easy way to take credit for the work they've done when they do it, and (3) allows project managers and team members to agree on tasks (the Handshake) so there's no confusion about who's expected to do what.

This is Handshake!  Handshake is a mobile app that allows you to keep track of all of your projects and tasks in one place, no matter where you are, with an easy to use graphical interface  and password protected data.  

ARE You Ready?

Does your company have a project portfolio measured in millions of dollars?

Do you have dozens of people often working on multiple projects and sometimes from multiple work sites?

Have you tried to manage projects with Excel, MS Project or Primavera and found those methods just don't work well with your projects?

Do the decision makers in your company understand the costs of recovering projects that have run into the ditch?  The wasted energy, profit, and good will with your customers?  And that there is a "cost of doing nothing"?

If you answered "Yes" to these questions you are ready for Handshake.  In fact we want you to try it right now.  Use the link below and take Handshake for a spin.  Add users. Create projects.  Assign tasks.  And then "shake" on it.

*****

"It used to take me days to rollup a progress report for my management.  By the time I presented it to them my data was already a week if not more out of date.  With Handshake I've got live status from the people working on my projects.  I can tell my management where I'm at on my projects anytime ... on the spot!"

Anonymous Project Manager

*****

"I learned to use Handshake in just a few minutes.  It's easy to use.  What I like best is it's very clear to me when I'm responsible for a task and with the "Handshake" feature I have an easy way to let my management know if I need additional resources, information, or help when I run into problems.  It takes the guesswork out of knowing what I'm responsible for."
