Press Release Summary: Productivity measure, analysis and benchmark software

Press Release Body: MeasureProductivity is a program designed to help measure and
improve productivity. It is a not a spy program, it will not tell how do other
people work, it will not record keystrokes; it is a self-examination program, which
helps to measure and control user's own productivity.

There are some key concepts behind MeasureProductivity which make it really useful.
First, there are "Groups". Users should think about groups as roles they play when
work with computer. There might be a role of webmaster or there might be a role of
manager responsible for finances.

When user works as a web-master he or she uses some web-page editing software, some
graphical tools. With MeasureProductivity user can associate certain software tools
with his role using various filters. For instance, it is possible to filter by
application's caption, executable path or name.

One can associate any keyword with any role. For instance, if user has a word
"finance" or "money" in caption of any window, the program might consider this as a
role of Finance Manager.

User don't need to specify all relationships before starting program, instead, first
it is good idea to run the program for some time and only then assign any special
associations between programs and roles.

The program doesn't require to setup just one profile, it is possible to setup more
different profiles. For instance, one profile specific to manager's role and other
specific to the role of researcher.

There are three report types available in the program. First, advanced report, it
will contain all the data about processes that user run, including applications'
captions and details associated with roles.

The Standard report will have only the most important information about roles user
played and time that was spend on the role. This report is great, if the goal is to
share it with someone else.

Invoice report will contain only information that is useful for billing customers.
If user will specify the hour rate, the program will be able to tell how much should
the customer pay for this kind of work.

What can user do with reports he have from the program? The first and the easiest is
to check report and find out what tasks require more time, probably there is a good
idea to think about optimization of these tasks. The second possibility is to
benchmark reports from different users against each other.

The evaluation copy of MeasureProductivity is available for download from
measureproductivity.com as a 30-day trial version.
