Information you need, when you need it and in a form that makes sense to you
We are focussed on the intersection of Project Management and Information Management.
Human Factors and UX Design
Our goal in creating Docent interface was to apply proven UX principles to make it intuitive and low-effort to use.
This overview is for project managers evaluating Docent Info System (Docent). By understanding the work and thinking behind Docent’s design, we hope you’ll appreciate Docent’s simplicity and effectiveness.
Project Managers and Information Management
Project Managers do not manage projects – they manage people, processes, and information. The first two of these should be the core strengths of a good Manager; however, Managers are often not skilled in the third: information management. This causes significant problems – hidden and obvious.
The Best File Structure is No File Structure
SpaceX is known for the motto “The best part is no part,” – emphasizing simplicity in design. This concept applies to Information Management Systems (IMS), which we often overcomplicate with rigid file structures and naming conventions – a vestige of our paper-based past . These outdated structures are still in place, even though modern technology –specifically Docent IMS – no longer requires this ridgidity.
