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.

Helping Your People Develop Emotional Intelligence - 0 views

  •  
    Here is a nice article on emotional intelligent. I like the topic very much.
  •  
    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!
  •  
    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.

Evernote - 2 views

  •  
    Perhaps this is an obvious post, but I still run across people who don't have a searchable, organized or unorganized online notebook, notepad, or repository of anything and all things you want to remember or keep track of. I've used it for smaller projects, to contain all of the lengthy articulations that are then hyperlinked to more formal Word documents or Excel charts. It's a phenomenally useful tool.

    I agree, there aren't a whole lot of tools out there to stay organized like Evernote. I use MS One Note for the same type of folder organizing and also for passwords etc.
  •  
    On the surface and quick glance, Evernote is like Pinterest but for your life :-) I am going to have to try it and see if it keeps me a little more organized!
  •  
    I need a tool like this. How long was the learning curve? Do you have any tips for getting started? Pitfalls? Thanks.
  •  
    I love Evernote because it's accessible from several mobile devices. I especially like their app (I'm using Android), because it's easy to use and fast. You could add multiple people to the account and share checklists, wiki-like notes pages, and calendar items. I'm not sure it would be ideal for huge projects with many parts, but it would be perfect for organizing a small collaboration or just for organizing your own work.
  •  
    Michael, Thanks for sharing this app and your experience with it. This tool sounds just like the tool I need to track and remember all my pending tasks.

Effective email communications - 2 views

    This one is close to my ll share at work :)
  •  
    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!

Microsoft OneNote - 2 views

  •  
    OneNote is a great product from Microsoft, and it's basically a digital series of binders that you can create and customize. You can create and label binders, sections, and individual pages. You can add notes, checklists, links to web pages, embed documents...almost anything you find can be placed there. The two most beneficial features: everything you put there can be made searchable, and your binders are sharable via SkyDrive (Microsoft's cloud) and by emailed link. A project manager could use this for anything from their own simple notes to an official file of collaborative information about a project!

    Melissa,
    I love OneNote. It is so easy to share and collaborate with others.
  •  
    I use OneNote all the time and wonder how I managed without it! I tried Evernote, but the bugs finally drove me away and then I discovered OneNote. I don't know why Microsoft doesn't promote it better... it's a great tool!
  •  
    I am also a big fan of OneNote. I use it a lot to share information with other teachers.

Easy Online Meetings With HD Video Conferencing | GoToMeeting | GoToWebinar | GoToTraining - 1 views

    I have used GoToMeeting and GoToTraining a lot and love them!
  •  
    I have used GoToWebinar and I loved it. It is easy to use and professional looking. I am curious to try GoToMeeting and GoToTraining.
  •  
    It is interesting to me that so many people like GoToMeeting/Webinar/Training. I've had mixed experiences with it. It lacks some of the functionality of other tools like Adobe Connect (chat features vary depending on which version you have, playing videos is very problematic, relies on screen sharing to share documents and do presentations). We do a lot of webinars, many with very large audiences (300-1000 people). While this is fine for meetings and daily business. I don't recommend this for large groups., It also isn't good if you want to have a virtual room when you can leave your documents, notes etc.

    Great find on free PM tools. I have heard that the open source project tools are really good and best of all....free! I also like the graphic depicting the project phases.
  •  
    I like this - very helpful. I'm visual, so the graphics help. Thanks for sharing!
  •  
    Ooooh. I'm definitely checking out OpenProj. That's my kind of organization.

  •  
    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.

WBS Video - 0 views

  •  
    This is a nice simple overview on how to set up your WBS. The narrator also has a lovely British accent which makes it a little more fun.
  •  
    That was a great way of explaining the WBS and demonstrated what should be included in the WBS thanks for sharing this.
  •  
    Another good addition here. I learned a few new things about creating a WBS, such as using SMEs to decompose work below the package level.

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.

Systems Thinking: Systems-Oriented View of Organizational Functions - 0 views

  •  
    I like this website and have read most of the topics. I post the homepage URL to show all the topics available, but take note of the few topics on project management. I've had a long interest in the convergence of PM & KM, and both share some similar qualities from the systems-oriented perspective. There are a lot of other authors and resources out there that talk about PM from a systems-thinking approach, but I thought this site a good starting point. A good book for expanding on this topic is Gerald Weinberg's "An Introduction to General Systems Thinking."

Step-by-Step Beginners Guide to Project Management - 4 views

  •  
    I liked this article with it's straightforward language and steps that make sense. Not only are the concrete requirements such as budget and tools discussed, but the often overlooked teamwork and leader roles are covered. Also on this site are related articles from "An Introduction to Project Management", "The Role of the Project Manager" and many others.
  •  
    that was a great article. I link the simplification of project management ins beining defined through the who, what, when, where and how. Also they discuss getting participants to commit, that is important or they will not do their part in the project. thanks for sharing.
  •  
    I like the reminder of several basic but easily forgotten tips. Writing down the objective is key for me. I can become a little too creative at times and end up distracted from the main goal. I like to keep it in sight throughout the entire process. Thanks for a great article!
