Social media is a powerful tool to help improve the quality of project management in our organizations, but how many of us take full advantage of the opportunity?
With social media, you have less control than with traditional “broadcast” style media tools. That’s the downside. The upside: more conversation! That means greater opportunities to engage your stakeholders in a meaningful way.
If you are looking to use social media platforms as a way to sell your organization and its products and services, you will need to consider which ones would be good matches for your industry—and the best ones to use to pass your messages around.
Dependencies are a fundamental part of project planning, but not many people get it right. Here’s a primer on how it should work.
The use of social media within projects can substantially help your team building as well as communication with both your onsite and remote teams. What do you need to be aware of?

We stand on the verge of the 20th anniversary of a curious date: one where, for many reasons, the world didn't end. Y2K was a global project of immense proportions, as organizations literally raced against the clock to prevent their information systems from failing as the rest of the world celebrated the dawn of the new millennium. For the most part, they kept going. This webinar takes a retrospective view of the Y2K project, one of the largest coordinated systems efforts that the world has yet seen; it offers an alternative perspective and far more insight into the management underpinnings of how to manage an effort that was complex, diffuse and world-wide. Join Peter de Jager for a look back at a global incident that monopolized the activities of nearly all IT departments through the 1990s. He'll explore what we've learned, what we still have to figure out, and what we are perilously close to once again forgetting.
This webinar explores what social media can do, what we can do in social media and where we might want to think about drawing the line.
