Multitasking video from engineer viewpoint

I attended a webinar by Realization and after the session, they sent a link to this video they commissioned on multitasking. Rather than being an academic description, it is told from the perspective of a design engineer who was lost in the world of multitasking - it took him four weeks to do a 2-4 day design task. Take a look. The last ~30 seconds hints at the tools from Realization that helped him (and his team) reduce multitasking.

Sam describes the effects of multitasking on engineers. The results are rework, stress, and poor project performance. To learn more about CCPM go to www.realization.com

The video appears to be available directly on Realization's website too.
