Job status software to keep a control over working activities within a team

Job status software (also called job status tracking software) is a computer-based tool that allows project administrators to streamline their attitudes in supervising and controlling working tasks. When having a team of people concurrently working at shared tasks, you may ask yourself a question: how to ask about job status so I can keep control over everything happening within my team? Actually such job status software works using the following principles:

• Shared virtual environment for interactions – job status software establishes own virtual environment over existing corporate computer network to use it for setting up communicative channels between supervisors and subordinates. Such an environment can be set with a help of client-server technology used to drive job status tracking software.

• Electronic job status reports – each of the team members gets special tools (specific user’s interface) to create and read electronic job status reports in terms of specific tasks and duties that each of employees is assigned to. In a case of client-server technology, electronic job status reports can be “delivered” from employees to supervisors in real-time.
• Job status database – the database is a way of keeping consistency in job records, because such a database will contain information on all the tasks running within the organization, and all team members can make job status inquiries to the database to retrieve certain data. 

• Job status board – when some employee reports on his/her work, the job status updates immediately in the database and supervisor may use special interface (job status board) to study the progress on the whole process as well as on particular tasks. When there is a need for job status follow up, supervisor can use his/her board interface to delve into job details.
• The variety of job statuses – job status software should support adjustability of statues to reach the best adaptation of software to specificity of organizations where it is used. For example a supervisor may see the following standard statuses on his/her interface: job status open (this is a pending job that is ready to be taken at work), job status closed (already performed job), job status on hold (aka job status inactive meaning that it is postponed).  

VIP Task Manager is job status software that is a real-time program which has a database for recording job status updates and for retrieving information through job status inquiries as well as for displaying it in convenient formats (timeline, calendar, task tree, to-do list). Basically, this program allows planning and controlling projects, analyzing performance of your workgroup in order to identify project evolution, and sending job status emails. Such job status emails can be sent to external stakeholders who want to stay in touch with a progress on their projects (they can receive job status letters every time the job is updated along with job status dates).
