A system for work efficiency improvement by user activity analysis and feedback
Abstract The efficiency of work processes is an important factor in company success and economic growth. Many companies are still using inefficient processes due to a lack of knowledge or defective implementation. The processes that rely upon intellectual labor, such as software development or manag...
