"I accomplished a good job today" - Jooto aims to spread this feeling across Japan.

PR TIMES Inc. (Minato-ku, Tokyo, Representative Director: Takumi Yamaguchi, TSE Prime/Nagoya Premier: 3922), which operates the task and project management tool "Jooto", is participating in "April Dream", an initiative to disseminate dreams on April 1st. This press release is Jooto's dream.

By 2026, AI will be able to create optimal schedules and automate administrative tasks. As operational efficiency advances, we want to place even greater importance on the feeling of "driving work forward with our own will." Jooto aspires to be more than just a means of progress management; it aims to be the "standard for project management" that empowers everyone to take pride and passion in their work, feeling that "I accomplished a good job today." "Let's Jooto." – This is a signal to organize complex situations, gain confidence in our progress, and define the next step. We dream of a society where all working individuals can experience the tangible feeling of "driving their work forward with their own hands."

"Good Work" Created by Oneself It has been a long time since "work style reform" evolved into "work engagement reform." In 2026, work engagement will continue to be a critical theme for the sustainability of Japanese companies. We believe that the foundation for creating work engagement is the accumulation of daily "good work." In an era where AI efficiently organizes information, "good work" is defined as the "will" and "action" to set one's own goals, plan the process, and execute it. Jooto provides the necessary framework to support this willful action. With the structure of Jooto, you can focus on decision-making and execution without being overwhelmed by information organization. We want to be a partner that supports and progresses alongside you, making the process of working with Jooto naturally lead to creating "good work."

Turn Work Stagnation into Team Growth Potential. Turn Processes into Team Confidence. Jooto supports the following actions in "decision-making" and "execution" to ensure that immediate tasks progress reliably:

"Let's Jooto once and reset." This action visualizes a situation where someone's work is stalled, not as an individual's responsibility, but as a theme for the entire team to address. It encourages open sharing of departmental or team status and finding solutions on the spot. It fosters a culture of completing tasks with speed as a team, without letting individual tasks halt progress.

"Let's Jooto our past progress and connect it to the future." This action involves reflecting on the processes (logs) that you and your team have gone through in past work, transforming them into future growth and confidence. By analyzing the reasons and backgrounds behind actions, such as "Why did we make that decision at that time?", individuals can find meaning in their own and their team's work, fostering future challenges.

From Isolated Workflows to a "Standard for Project Management" for Everyone Since its service launch in 2014, Jooto has been exposed to work across various industries and sectors. What has become clear is that work processes tend to be confined within individuals or organizations, both in their strengths and weaknesses. This leads not only to the solidification of unique rules and personalization but also makes it difficult to share good practices or introduce new methods. As a result, companies may fail to notice areas for improvement or face confusion and stagnation when starting new projects, distancing themselves from the "feeling of accomplishment from good work" that they could otherwise achieve.

We aim to open up these often-confined work processes and, with the slogan "Let's Jooto," create and deploy a "standard for project management" that allows everyone to act without hesitation. Jooto, having been exposed to the moments of diverse work creation and the processes of moving forward, is uniquely positioned to extract the methods of various professionals and contribute them to society beyond industry and job role boundaries. This is what we believe we must fulfill. We will transform individual and organizational "knowledge" into something useful for third parties. As a first step in 2026, we will focus on standardizing administrative work. Administrative roles are fundamental to all work, common across all industries and sectors. By revitalizing administrative work in Japan and enhancing its execution capabilities, we believe we can elevate the quality of all work in Japan. We are committed to making things move forward and continuously disseminating professional work methods to society. We believe that through this accumulation, we can achieve a society where everyone can proudly say, "I accomplished a good job today." We will continue to move forward, step by step.

Comment from Person in Charge Eriko Kenzuchi, Customer Relations Team, Jooto Business Department, PR TIMES Inc. "Let's try Jooto." We hope these words can alleviate work anxieties and serve as a catalyst for teams to look forward again. We want to deliver the feeling that working with Jooto naturally leads to "good work," which in turn leads to "work engagement," to as many people as possible.
