We are well aware of the value of time. We think it is essential to focus only on vital and stimulating activities, the only ones that positively influence our journey, leaving aside frills and routine. We are aware, courageous and passionate. We are imperfect but curious. The old principles are tight on us, when things don't add up, we go down a new path: our own.
Every day we are asked to make choices, some simple, others that could change our lives. What weighs more: finding a title for this poster or deciding to move to a new home? We spend hours racking our brains on problems that are such apparently, when most critical issues are often solvable using a simple and shared system.
Managing an organization that works on projects is not like running a nuclear power plant. First of all, because things are never as complicated as they seem at first glance. And then because making mistakes does not lead to any disaster. We like bold choices. We believe it is essential to have the courage to go along with that little voice in your head that shouts: “It's time for a change.” A radical choice will not upset anyone's life, but it will certainly make everyone's work easier.
We promote a system that knows how to make the most of its scarcity of resources. Precisely because we do not have NASA resources, we only need a little information - timely and reliable - to make the right decisions and focus attention on the real value of the activity.
This is our paradox: we have developed project management software with the aim of crumbling project management and transforming it into a layer of grit to be added “on top of the cake”.
The old rule of centralized control must be broken. Only apparently it's more effective, in reality it's just more tiring and less reliable. Minimizing micro management is the key to everything.
Our method allows for consistent and timely data, thus reducing costs.
We value our time and our intelligence.
The sharing of company economic data reinforces team responsibility and awareness, generates satisfaction and helps to manage critical issues and stress. We never focus on a single project or a single person, but we build an overall vision of the organization through a participatory and inclusive method.
Having a common language is essential. Training is the basis of our model, which allows everyone to exchange valuable items using a universal protocol. A model that allows shared planning, rewards virtuous and collaborative behavior, penalizes selfishness and apathy.
Only by cutting back on the most rigid and obsolete management principles can a positive work environment that is free to express oneself be created. Our approach also offers the newcomer the opportunity to express all the potential they are capable of.
Some time ago, when we were a team of 10 people, we realized that managing several projects at the same time was starting to be complicated.
So we tried different software, but none of them were right for us. We soon understood the reason: we had developed an independent, distributed way of working without hierarchies, incompatible with all existing management tools.
We needed a system that would support our approach to management, ensuring the ability to manage the team collaboratively and to predict critical issues before it was too late. We couldn't find software with these characteristics, so we decided to build it ourselves. After several prototypes, developed for internal use, wethod was born.
Today we are an independent start-up with an increasingly growing team, which attracts the attention of numerous companies intrigued by this new approach to management. Our software is used by creative agencies, architecture and engineering firms, software houses, consulting firms and anyone who works primarily on projects.
We support our customers with a process of comparison and advice, to support them in the adoption of the organizational model that best suits them. We continue to collaborate with the H-FARM team and with all our other customers to listen to real objectives and needs that allow us to continuously improve the product.
