Tasktop is the company behind Eclipse Mylyn and the revolutionary task-focused interface
Tasktop Technologies created the revolutionary task-focused interface
Task-focused interfaces make you more productive by organizing your digital work around tasks and showing you only the relevant information for each task, based on how you interact with the information through various software applications. These interfaces reduce the need to repeatedly search and scroll to find information while minimizing the impact of interruptions because information relevant to each task can be instantly recalled.
Mylyn is an open source task-focused interface for software developers using the Eclipse platform. Mylyn has been rapidly adopted by hundreds of thousands of Eclipse users and has become the most widely used Eclipse project that is not IBM-sponsored (BZ Media, 2008). The thriving user community has built dozens of connectors to enable the use of Mylyn with their team's project tracking system.
Tasktop Pro is a full-featured supported product based on Mylyn with additional productivity features. Tasktop extends the productivity benefits of Mylyn to a developer's entire work day by adding task-focused support for activities such as web browsing and working with documents, email and calendars. A standalone version of Tasktop makes the benefits of the task-focused interface accessible to non-technical users.
Task-focused technology is rooted in extensive university research
The concept of a task-focused interface was developed over several years of university research conducted by Dr. Mik Kersten and Dr. Gail Murphy, who are well recognized as software development tooling experts. During that time, Kersten and Murphy refined and validated the technology through a large-scale peer-reviewed study which demonstrated with statistical significance that programmers using the task-focused interface code more and click less, getting more done.
Tasktop is taking productivity to a new level
Tasktop Technologies is now extending the task-focused interface to work with information from more third-party applications and to provide the benefits of task-focus to a wider audience via Tasktop Pro. We also offer training and consulting services to the growing number of companies adopting task-focused interfaces to achieve guaranteed productivity gains. Through our partner program, we have worked with companies such as SpringSource, Atlassian, IBM, Rally, CollabNet, Danube, ThoughtWorks Studios, and VersionOne to seamlessly integrate their products with task-focused interface technology.
