I like #2. So many times SMEs loose sight of the project objective. :-)
-
Jenna, these guidelines are simple but powerful. What of the greatest challenges I had on a recent project was to get the SME to back off and take care of the content, not the learning materials. I never really succeeded but it might have helped if I had the #4 guideline instilled in our heads early in the project.

Project management software, online collaboration: Basecamp - 1 views
-
Trusted by millions, Basecamp is the leading web-based project management and collaboration tool. To-dos, files, messages, schedules, and milestones.
-
I had looked at this too. It seems that most PM software ends up having to be paid for. I guess making it free ties to the idea if taking money off the table and using a collaborative organizational model :)
The Project Manager vs. the Business Analyst - 0 views
-
I have a hard time deciding whether "versus" is a good word to compare the two roles. On one hand, the project manager and business analyst should be working collaboratively. On the other hand, the two roles do offer a healthy contest in project related decisions.
Six Essential Skills for Managing Conflict - 0 views
-
Great concise article on conflict management with specific strategic tips. The goal is not just to resolve conflict, but rather to work through conflict toward a productive outcome.
-
Great article. I love the very first point - finding the common goal to concentrate on, and using your empathy to approach your adversary as you would a friend.

Welcome to AbstractSpoon Software - 1 views
-
I've used this simple To Do list program for several years. It includes a task list, a calendar view and a Gantt chart. Probably not something to use with enormous complicated projects, but I use it for a lot of different things. It is a free utility that runs from an executable rather than installing a full program which makes it easy to give it a test run.

How could VA miss so badly on Aurora hospital? - 0 views
-
Cost overruns on a new Veterans Affairs hospital on the Fitzsimons campus seem to indicate fundamental blunders in oversight. Mismanagement leads to a 67% cost overrun and project not near completion.
-
A 67% cost overrun and the project still not completed is absolutely outrageous!
-
Ouch. I work on the Fitz campus and was wondering what was taking them so long. Bad!

Definitely good reminders for the workplace! It reminds me of a coworker who had the "reply all" button removed form their email accounts at her previous company because people just couldn't help themselves from over using it. These are good rules to pass around every once in awhile :).
-
I think we take for granted, because we have all been writing emails for a while, that we know how to make them effective. I would definitely share this at work!

Smart Sheet - 0 views
-
If you want a way to make the most beautiful Gantt charts you've ever seen... use Smart sheet. It's not free, but there is a free trial. I wanted to make a one page Gantt chart, that was vertical rather than horizontal, and I didn't want to pay money or download open project, and smart sheet came to the rescue. It does have more features, like assigning tasks to your team members... but I really only used it to make the Gantt chart of my dreams.
