Google Docs - 0 views

  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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."
  •  
    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!

    In my search for different PM softwares I came across the following. They do a 30-day trial on all their pricing structures and the website is rather informative.

We used Basecamp a little for our project and it was very useful and convenient way to manage information and provide updates to the team!

    I am reading the book written by the founder of this group. It is an enjoyable read and this company also runs a helpful blog. I think it is great for people and organizations that feel challenged by having those difficult conversations.

    Projects sometimes seem to take on a life of their own. Figuring out why people react or believe is important because projects are completed by a team for groups of people. Book Quote "Blink reveals that great decision makers aren't those who process the most".

join.me - Free Screen Sharing and Online Meetings - 0 views

  •  
    From their website: "Free, simple, fast online meetings. Share your screen instantly with anyone." I couldn't say it better myself. Join Me is a pretty great tool if you have meetings with remote members of project teams. The premium version has all of the features of WebEx and then some, and you can get a 30 day trial of the premium version for free. Even the free version that is available after the 30 day trial is useful. No one has to download anything or have a program installed except for the moderator (and it is a very simple download). The moderator gives everyone a code, they go to a website and type it in and can immediately share screens. My advice: Use Microsoft Paint to enhance your Join Me meetings by using it like the WebEx whiteboard.
  •  
    Andi, thanks for sharing, sounds like a cool alternative to expensive or complicated ways to create an online meeting. I will try it for a couple of online interviews I need to conduct.

Project Management Online Assessment - 2 views

  •  
    Here is a PM online assessment (for purchase): There is an Overview, Breakdown, and Sample Questions. This opens my eyes to the fact that maybe companies (such as my own) should give this assessment or a similar one to folks before handing over a project to those individuals.

Project Management Models - 2 views

  •  
    Here is a link to a waterfall PM model. Although maybe over simplistic, I like the fact that is suggests a phase can't start until a the previous is completed. You also find the spiral model that suggests that we go through specific phases again and again-at first take, I find this spiral model a bit worrisome. It lacks defined milestones and benchmarks, and perhaps it implies a ambiguity when it comes to roles.

PM Consulting Model - 2 views

  •  
    This site uses a model based on three categories that define project management competencies. The categories have numerous sub-categories; this is a very detailed, almost to the point of confusion, visual model. Nonetheless, it breaks down every facet of project management that I can think of.
