The general rule is that people produce better results when their efforts are combined with the efforts of others. TEAM stands for Together Everyone Achieves More.

Rod Ripley was on the original Workamajig software engineering team and is now a dedicated support member. He takes care of support tickets and emails sent to support@workamajig.com, as well as onboarding and ongoing training.
In our recent webinar - Why should I Create Assignments, Rod explained that “Task Assignments is a cornerstone feature that flows into Estimates, Budgets, Resource Management, and Reporting.”
Rod was instrumental in creating Workamajig and is now invested in helping people use it to the max, so if Rod says that using Task Assignments is really important, you know it’s REALLY important.
