DPR Construction Selects Agile Workforce to Manage the Countless Commitments of Complex Building Project

April 18, 2005 -- Agile Workforce, Inc., which provides software that enables enterprises to orient their workforces around commitments, today announced that DPR Construction, Inc. has selected the Commitment Manager System for a major construction project. The software will be used in the design and pre-construction phase of the Camino Medical Group’s project, which will result in the ground-up construction of a new 250,000-sq.-ft. out-patient medical center, using lean construction practices for the Sutter Health affiliate.

“As an industry leader, DPR actively seeks ways to improve the overall delivery process on every project we build,” said Eric Lamb, executive vice president of DPR Construction, Inc. “The Commitment Manager System’s robust facilities for managing networks of commitments that support the practices of lean construction are a key component of our strategy. A number of architectural, engineering and construction companies will use the system to support creating and managing the network of commitments to get work done.”

DPR chose Commitment Manager System because it is the only complete system for constructing and completing commitments, managing networks of commitments, and measuring the performance of any part of a project or organization. It is a unique combination of a radically different way of organizing and understanding work, combined with email and browser-based tools that are familiar and easy to use. The system is offered as a subscription-based, hosted service.

“DPR’s project illustrates how valuable our Commitment Manager System can be in managing the often interdependent commitments involved in any complex, multi-vendor project,”,” said Art Gould, President of Agile Workforce, Inc. “We look forward to a long and productive relationship with DPR, and to expanding our presence with architects, engineers and construction firms..”
