Capacity Drains

The 60-70% of IT effort that never appears in reports—clarifications, rework, coordination overhead.

Why It Matters
You can't manage what you can't see. The majority of IT work—the clarification emails, the undocumented fixes, the tribal knowledge transfers—happens in the shadows. This invisible work isn't laziness or inefficiency; it's a symptom of systems that force workarounds rather than solutions.

Power of 15™ makes all work visible by measuring effort in 15-minute increments. When every task is tracked and justified, the invisible becomes visible—and fixable. OpenBook™ surfaces this data in real-time dashboards so leadership can see the true cost of operations.
