A survey conducted in June 2026 targeting 200 individuals in the IT industry revealed that approximately 64% of PMs, PLs, and team leaders (37 respondents) spend over 20% of their work time on checks and rework. [Survey by Global Link Inc.] Global Link Inc. has released the first installment of its ongoing survey activities to visualize management practices in the IT industry, focusing on PMs, PLs, and team leaders (preliminary report). The data clearly shows that dealing with checks and rework is severely impacting the work hours of site leaders. ■ Survey Results (1): Approximately 64% Spend Over 20% of Time on Checks and Reworks [Figure 1] Proportion of Work Time Spent on Checks and Reworks (n=37) [Figure 1] Proportion of work time spent on checks and rework (Target: 37 PM/PL Leaders). Approximately 64% of leaders responded that they spend over 20% of their work time on these tasks. [Survey by Global Link Inc.] The reality is that more than two out of three PM/PL leaders spend over one-fifth of their work time on "checks and corrections" rather than on core design, development, and management tasks. This time loss is a structural issue directly linked to the team's overall throughput and delivery risks. ■ Survey Results (2): "Handling Additional Requests" is the Most Time-Consuming Task [Figure 2] Ranking of Most Time-Consuming Tasks in the Past Month (n=37, multiple responses) [Figure 2] Ranking of most time-consuming tasks in the past month (Target: 37 PM/PL Leaders, multiple responses). The top three items are: 1st place "Handling additional requests from clients" (43%), 2nd place "Checks and inquiries" (38%), and 3rd place "Responding to progress delays" (35%). [Survey by Global Link Inc.] All of the top three items primarily involve coordination and alignment rather than the design and development itself. Rework and re-handling also ranked 7th (22%), confirming with data that the structure hinders concentration on core tasks. ■ Survey Results (3): The Biggest
