1. A method for reducing resource waste in an organization, the method being implemented by a computer system, the method comprising:
storing, in a historical software development project management database at a first area of a network, historical information for identifying, quantifying, and classifying the resource waste in the organization;
storing, in a personnel and operational issues database at a second area of the network, data that relates to personnel and operational issues in connection with a software development lifecycle;
receiving, via the network and by the computer system from a voice-to-text application of a user device at a third area of the network, a request for identifying waste in a first software development project;
identifying, by the computer system, which uses and includes an issue tracking tool as a software application, a plurality of tasks to be performed within the first software development project;
determining, by the computer system, using a proximity sensor included in the computer, for each task from among the plurality of tasks identified by the computer system, whether a waste of at least one resource has occurred by determining whether a planned amount of time expected to be spent by a person on each task exceeds an actual amount of time spent by the person;
tagging, by the computer system, which uses and includes a global positioning system device and the issue tracking tool, each of the plurality of tasks with an electronic tag, the electronic tag including a predetermined data structure, the predetermined data structure including a category field, a sub-category field, and a resource wasted field, the resource wasted field indicating the waste of the at least one resource, the waste of the at least one resource being associated with a person, an entry for each of the category field, the sub-category field, and the resource wasted field being selected from a predefined set of codes;
extracting, by the computer system and from the electronic tag of each of the plurality of tasks, data from the predetermined data structure and generating, by the computer system, a report that indicates a result of the determining, the tagging, and the extracting;
using, by the computer system, the report in conjunction with accessing the historical information that is stored in the historical software development project management database and the data that relates to personnel and operational issues that is stored in the personnel and operational issues database to analyze patterns of data in order to identify at least one individual person or group within the organization that is associated with the waste of the at least one resource in real time; and
transmitting, via the network and by the computer system, the generated report to the user device,
wherein, in the identifying, the first software development project is depicted as a set of Jira stories, the set of Jira stories including the plurality of tasks to be performed within the first software development project.
