At Unawave, we’re creating a Collaborative Work Manager that will make it dramatically easier for team leaders to manage groups of people working together to achieve a specific objective. Work activities ranging from remodeling a home to creating a set of marketing collateral to writing a web application can all be easily managed using the Unawave work management system. In a nutshell we want to empower managers and individual work contributors by enabling them to focus on the execution of their work rather than on spending time updating and communicating the status of their work. Prior to Unawave the choices available to manage work assignments ranged from the simple (e.g. Outlook Tasks) where one can create tasks that can be assigned to individuals via email to the complex (e.g. Microsoft Project) where one can create complex project plans with task dependencies and resource allocations. However, the vast range of work falls somewhere in between and typically entails a team leader creating a project, assigning tasks to individuals, getting timely status updates on assigned tasks, and having access to a status dashboard on the progress of all the tasks. Unawave leverages GoogleWaves collaboration foundation with an elegant yet simple work management service that directly addresses a wide range of work management activities across businesses of all sizes. We can’t wait to present and discuss more at Google I/O.

In businesses ranging from the individual working with a virtual team to a small business owner working with his/her employees to the manager in a large corporation managing multiple teams the process of assigning tasks (work units) to team members, getting a status on task progress, and understanding the overall status of an assignment is a difficult challenge.
In spite of the proliferation of communications technologies like email, text messaging, twitter, and collaboration platforms like Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Exchange, and Wikis, the friction and overhead of managing work and reporting status remains acutely painful to organizations of all sizes. Team leaders and individual contributors spend an extraordinary amount of their work day following up with their superiors, colleagues and direct reports to gather status and report up and down the management chain in order to keep everyone on the same page. This work management challenge is even more painful in the realm of knowledge workers who struggle daily with a complex multitude of fragmented technologies to receive work assignments, execute work assignments and report on assignment status.
