The Importance of Project Management in SMEs

Recent studies indicate that many SMEs lack structured task management solutions, relying instead on email, handwritten notes, and chat applications. A survey conducted by Nulab from October 6-10, 2023, found that only 11.7% of respondents used dedicated task management tools for team tasks, indicating a significant opportunity for improvement.

Assuming a company with 30 employees, the costs incurred from 8-minute task progress checks, performed twice daily between supervisors and subordinates, can total an astonishing 1.19 million yen per month. By adopting an effective team task management system, SMEs can dramatically reduce these costs through enhanced task visibility and accountability.

This seminar strives to clarify how supervisors can better manage their teams. We aim to challenge the traditional Japanese workplace culture where communication can often be informal and ineffective, relying on vague instructions such as "Get this done". This often leads to misunderstandings and a lack of proper management. Komatsu will elaborate on how structured project management practices can bridge this gap, contributing to a more efficient working environment.

Features of Suit UP

The Suit UP platform is tailored for teams seeking an intuitive way to manage tasks and projects. With a user interface akin to spreadsheet software, it provides features to visualize tasks clearly and helps prevent missed deadlines and oversights. Since its alpha launch in September 2023, Suit UP has introduced features not typically found in traditional Excel spreadsheets, ensuring everyday usability.

The standard pricing plan is set at 1,080 yen per user per month (excluding taxes), while smaller organizations with less than 10 users benefit from a specially reduced rate of 500 yen per user per month. Additionally, any sign-ups before the June 30, 2025 deadline will not incur any initial costs during the beta campaign.
