Completely different from, and slightly better than the article on this title deleted by the previous AfD discussion. But it still seems too much like a student essay. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:27, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete For something like this I would expect a reference to a tome or journal article or something with the phrase "Work Management" in the title and a definition in the first paragraph or so, even if that definition were as vague as they tend to be in the field. We appear to lack this here. Mangoe (talk) 21:44, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Author's Comments Keep

Work Management is a newer concept. There are several notable references describing the work management process and how it is an evolutionary process separate from project management. Several softwares define their solutions as work management including: Clarizen, AtTask, Wrike, ProWorkFlow, Me2Team, MindManager, Mindjet, PowelStudio, Sproket, WorkManager Pro, Taskey, Selectron Technologies, WorkWyze, 360 Facility, SharePoint, etc. This article will be continuously updated with a history as well as information on supporting softwares and other companies that employ the work management method. It is unbiased, informational and relevant to the project management space as it evolves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EmpowerTMs (talk • contribs) 22:31, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note that author's only other contributions are to AtTask. Mangoe (talk) 23:07, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

EmpowerTMs, it might be a great new idea that shouldn't be in WIkipedia. The relevant standard is wp:notability. If you think there is coverage of the type required by the policy, you should put that in or un-obscure it quickly. Unless/until then I think this should be deleted. If something changes, please feel free to ping me on my talk page. Sincerely, North8000 (talk) 00:09, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. A management theory, vaguely defined in glittering generalities:

...a paradigm for understanding, organizing and managing work. Often associated with Project Management, Work management encompasses all work—including work not traditionally associated with project-based work. In addition to project-based work, people typically contribute to other work, such as the repetitive processes associated with their everyday responsibilities, ad hoc assignments, work requests, personal tasks, etc… This work must also be taken into account and managed in order for business leaders to have maximum visibility, accurately plan for resource allocation, get greater team member contributions and to increase effectiveness and value in the work place.

"Project management?" "Several softwares define their solutions as work management..." (!!!) Not a notable neologism, and an invitation for future problems. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:14, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
