Task Lists for Groups - 0 views

shared by anonymous on 31 Mar 13 - Cached
  •  
    Asana is the shared task list for your team. The place to plan, organize & stay in sync. Free for up to 30 team menbers.
  •  
    This looks like a great way to keep a project team organized and informed. The tutorial was helpful and gave a nice overview of the system. Free is also a wonderful feature!
  •  
    For a simple, light Project Management tool, Asana worked great to keep a list of tasks and when they were completed.

Managing Multicultural Teams - 1 views

  •  
    Very informative article from the Harvard Business Review. Using many real life examples, this article reviews the problems and solutions to managing a multicultural team. Problems can be overt such as language and accents to something subtle such as how to deal with conflict. Four categories were identified by the researchers that could create barriers to effective teamwork. These categories are direct versus indirect communication; trouble with accents and fluency; differing attitudes toward hierarchy and authority and conflicting norms for decision making.
  •  
    I think that one thing that was interesting is that it stresses being careful in how you establish groups and subgroups otherwise you may see a strengthening of differences. It is something that I see in the classroom all of the time. Kids break up based on common culture, language, or backgrounds.

    I can't hardly believe this is free! What is the world (Microsoft) coming to? Anyway, I downloaded this for my home computer, thanks!
  •  
    Thanks, Laura. A friend was recently asking me if I knew of a free PM tool like MS Project. This should be perfect.

6 leadership styles - 1 views

  •  
    Good article, I heard of four of the styles but 2 were new to me. Affiliative and pacesetting were interesting. I like the affililiative as they are team focused and work to lead a cohesive unit. I didn't care for the pacesetting but do see how in some situation they can be useful like with government regulations. Thanks for sharing the article.

21 Ways to excel at project management - 1 views

  •  
    This article breaks down the stages of a project. It is an easy read.
  •  
    Interesting article, I learned something new in the section releasing the benefits. Specifically, "to gain benefits, you must have change." I know some can be afraid of change but then how does a company grow. Change needs to occur to have everything stay current and up-to date. thanks
  •  
    This was a great article since it appealed to all skill levels. Whether new to project management or a "seasoned" professional these tips could apply to all. I also like how it was broken down into 21 ways so you could pick one topic and work on that and then move on to the next if need be. A great way to gradually build better PM skills.

    This is a great site for affordable online training, especially for PMP certification preparation. You can select training from among many reputable online training devopment companies. The PMP course I checked out was by PrimeLearning. Although I couldn't tell which version of the PMBOK the course was written for, it looked like all of the main concepts were included in the course.
  •  
    Very affordable for PMP prep classes! I took one several years ago and it was a few thousand dollars.

    A video chat with Michael Allen about "leaving ADDIE for SAM" (also the subject of his latest book). The gist of this is about adopting an agile-like development methodology in instructional design.

Russell Martin and Associates Project Management - 1 views

  •  
    Lou Russel frequently contributes to ASTD and has a book called Project Management for Trainers. This links to the resources available on her website.
  •  
    I recently attended a two-day ASTD certificate course she did in conjunction with the TechKnowledge conference in Las Vegas. It was informative and she has a unique approach that really presented some of the concepts in a straight-forward manner/ Of course, in two days you can only dig so deep but I would recommend the course for those new to project management.

Build a Simple E-learning Project Plan - 2 views

  •  
    I love these guys... always simple and straight forward. For me this is a bit of a reality check. When things get a little too heavy and a little too complex, it's good to focus on the basics.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    I like something that is so practical and simple. Good advice we all need to keep in mind and in an easy-to-read format.

Elearning Project Managment video - 2 views

  •  
    A quick video about one successful e-learning project management approach. She includes a section for story-boarding in her process, which I think is a really cool creative step between instructional design and production.
  •  
    This was a great video you found Brook. I enjoyed the quality of the production, but I also think it did a great job of summarizing the total process. It actually cleared up a couple misconception I had with the process. Thanks for the post.
  •  
    Nice find Brook! Nice summary and good points to think about. Thanks for the post.

    Provides resources discussing the differences between project and product management and their over lapping roles.
  •  
    Thanks, Edwin. I will use the information from this site for my case study because one of the points in the study was that the product owner was doing much more than the role of product owner.

SharePoint - 1 views

  •  
    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!
