GridIron Software has dedicated the past three years to working with the creative community to develop and hone GridIron Flow, its as-yet-unlaunched visual workflow management software. For an entertaining look into its unusual interface, see the CreativePro.com article "Going with the Flow.")

At last, GridIron has announced that GridIron Flow will be available for public beta on February 18, 2009.

The company polled over 1,100 creative professionals in various print, web and video design fields to help identify the main issues affecting their productivity. The results were overwhelming, finding that 81 percent of these professionals spend up to four hours every day on administrative tasks rather than actual design work.

The survey also revealed that:
• 96 percent would be willing to significantly change the way they work in order to become more productive
• 83 percent of respondents work on three or more projects at the same time
• 94 percent revealed they use at least three applications for each project
• 45 percent said they go through six to 10 versions of a project before finalizing it
• 82 percent admitted to deleting a file they later need
