| Abstract: | Numerous software products claiming to improve work group productivity
are making their way into the marketplace. How is a manager to decide
whether or not to invest in these products? This paper proposes a
suitable method of formulating the evaluation problem for work group
application products. The issue of normal software evaluation is
considered first. Then group work is described and contrasted with
individual work activities. A two-level evaluation strategy consisting
of broad coverage and detailed analysis is introduced. Detailed analysis
consists of functional performance, administration, and fit applied
across task, group and communications domains. Examples, drawn from some
of the products demonstrated at this Symposium, are used to illustrate
how this methodology may be applied. |
