Sharepoint project management

    Sharepoint is a great project management tool, most especially for eLearning. Our online department utilizes it to manages tasks and build online resources for the department. It's a great place to share files and also comment on those files. It has discussion boards and announcement boards. Users can view files and edit them with versioning.

    I agree that SharePoint is a great collaboration tool, although it's nice to have someone around who is an expert with using it. Sometimes it can be a little hard to handle. My favorite thing about SharePoint is that you can set up a workflow where a project manager can approve all document updates and new content before it goes live on the site. The manager can even leave comments to help the person revamp their submission. It's a great cloud-based collaboration and information management tool!

    I agree, Melissa - it is a great tool but a bit cumbersome. We have a Sharepoint SME in our office who is working on revamping all of our sites. I am hoping it will make our teams use their sites to their fuller potential. If you have a content management plan, it is fantastic - but it can spiral out of control very quickly!

    Just in case someone has been living under a rock, I'm adding this. I can't tell you how many times people at work email files hundreds of times when we could all just collaborate in Google Docs. We used Google Hangouts to chat in former projects and could actually see when each other was typing something. Love it!

    I was really resistant to the idea of Google docs when it first came into being. Now, I am a convert. It is the most fabulously simple resource for working collaboratively.
  • jencey on 21 Jul 13
     
    GoogleDocs can be incredibly useful but not everyone is on the google bandwagon. I know for me personally I use it when I need to and it is great when everyone is working synchronously as a team to develop content or a document. They have done a good job with their suite of products, i just wish when you copied and pasted from Office it wasn't so distorted.
  • wearnerr on 22 Jul 13
     
    I agree, Google Docs is worth posting. I just heard yesterday (completely unconfirmed) that Google Docs in Boulder employs 1,000 people. for what it lacks in perfections, it also saves us from saving and potentially storing unfinished documents. As Martha would say, "It's a good thing."
  • desireepina on 23 Jul 13
     
    I agree with Jen. While GoogleDocs is a great time saver I wish you could do more with formatting, pasting, etc. The formatting also differs if you download the doc onto a Mac which can be a pain when working with a group. Overall, though I think it is a worthwhile collaborative tool.

    Good call. My team spent an entire meeting demonstrating how to use Live Meeting via Outlook, only to later find out that it costs our company each time we initiate a call. I mentioned Hangouts as an alternative, and nobody had any idea what I was talking about, despite the fact that all of my teammates have Gmail. Yikes! Sometimes its scary how much we don't know!

    Simple and concise, this article offers some sound advice on managing eLearning projects.  I love the analogy presented in the opening introduction that project management is like herding a bunch of wild cats in one direction.  It really is true that the project manager is in a position that requires them to deal with people of all different personalities and moods.

    Project managing e-learning. More is worse! This blog outlines some of the pitfalls that developing E-learning shares with traditional project management as well as some challenges unique to these types of projects. Some solutions are also suggested, mostly dealing with keeping your project plan agile and iterative.

    Thanks for posting this article, Brook. Because it talks about elearning being software (tech) development and content development at the same time, it applies to my case study...and because it talks about training struggles, it is reflective of my own work environment too.
  • Edwin Hurley on 19 Feb 12
     
    This article brings up some valid points that I wish I had read a year or so ago. Originally I thought eLearning was simple converting F2F material for an online environment. At its basic concept it is, but the complexity of this process is much more complicated and resource intensive than I imagined. Those considering the jump from F2F should seriously consider the points of this article and the affect on their organization resources. Thanks for the info.

    This is great information for someone unfamiliar with project management. The key characteristics go beyond common sense ideals. I especially appreciate the suggestion to "cultivate and rely on extensive informal networks inside and outside the firm to solve problems that arise" - that is a great proactive problem solving strategy. Thanks for sharing this info :)
  • Naomi Wahls on 17 Feb 12
     
    This is a great list! I like how it lists not using information as a weapon. It's amazing to see managers ignore this rule. It comes with the territory of holding back one's emotions or personal preference. Letting go is a quality that is hard to find in management.

    I found the five trends really interesting as they fly in the face of what we've been doing in this class. I think that everything we learned has value but with such drastic changes and approaches taking place it makes you wonder if the focus we've been on is in the wrong areas?? Anyway, I also came across this for Top 10 Trends in PM for 2013 which is similar in some ways: http://www.itbusinessedge.com/slideshows/top-10-trends-in-project-management-for-2013.html

    Peggy, this is a great article and definitely something I can use in my workplace. I think acknowledging how teams deal with and use EI is great in helping create strong interpersonal relationships. Thank you for sharing!
  • lewis648 on 30 Jul 13
     
    I appreciate this too. One of the things I was curious about after our EI discussions was how best to share knowledge of EI, self-awareness and empathetic communication with team members. It seems to me that rather than just using the techniques we have learned ourselves, we should share them with others as well, so that they understand the approach and the improved empathy is able to move both ways. So this is great to have some advice about that specifically.

    One reason PMs fail is their desire to get the product right the first time. This site says that this is an unrealistic expectation and that we should expect to get it wrong the first time and communicate this to our team. The dynamics will change making them more open and less pressured to "make the wrong step". This approach is modeled by Microsoft which generally takes about 3 times before they get a product right. Other useful tips and lessons follow such as Less is More. An uplifting site that reminds us that it is okay to make mistakes as long as we learn from them.

    Very insightful article. The point the article made that I felt was interesting was the part about how it can be hard early on to not test what they are making. Easy to go down the wrong direction.

    Tom Kuhlmann's advice is always practical when it comes to eLearning design and I see his advice about project management is no different. I found his advice to not view the things he discusses as a linear progression but as a set of activities that need to be done to get through a project.
