Enterprise 2.0 Collaboration...
Situation: You Want Something Between a CMS and Home Grown Web 2.0 Tools... ClearSpace is an interesting software package that I ran across at the Web 2.0 Expo a week ago. Most of these tools don't even consider the tools you already have in place. Things as basic as email are off in a separate silo. ClearSpace integrates email and seems to offer a great core set of document management capabilities (without getting too complicated). Even better, it offers view of team-based interaction and enterprise knowledge that is topic focused, versus file or folder focused.I the same way that Google Desktop frees you up from the administrative tasks of constantly organizing things, Clearspace had the potential to make team and enterprise knowledge accessible without a librarian. Here are some features that might feel useful to you: - Integrating a lot of project-specific interaction that is only available in email threads with the rest of the project's documentation. This way you don't have to search around as much when you're trying to remember what happened a month ago. - Blogging with RSS capabilities to provide constant (and time-stamped) status reporting. - Version control of Word and Excel documents. - User profiles that could be very useful in the context of a PMO. - Automated reporting of team participation. |

Need Company on Your Trip?
Situation: You'd Rather Be Networking While Others Are Relaxing... In this months Business 2.0, there's a fun little article called The (less) Lonely Life of the Road Warrior (this link is just to the summary, no direct link yet) that covers some opportunities to network when you are on the road. This isnt for everyone, but for those of us who love meeting someone new, here you go...- Pairup lets you know if any of your colleagues (people who sign up based on your outloook contacts) happen to be going to the same town or trade show at the same time that you are. - Airtroductions matches you up with a business traveler who might be a good networking contact. - The Flying Blue Golf Club sets you up on a golf date with a potential business contact. I guess if you're the kind of person who is going to play golf alone anyway... - Dinnerpoint arranges dinners for groups of 4-8 people and lets you rate them afterward. Seems like a good opportunity to experience the painful side of dating even after you're married. |

Free Online Conferencing for 10 or Less People...
Situation: You Don't Have WEBEX, DO Have a Conference Call Line, and Want to Deliver a Presentation to Less Than 10 People. Yugma is an online collaboration tool that allows you to deliver basic preesntations to others online. The 10 or less option is free. More concurrent seats are available for an upcharge.What it does well: - provides a virtual space to deliver simple presentations - desktop sharing - at no cost What it doesn't do: - application sharing - online audio (there's a dial in # at an extra charge) - recording of sessions (unless you upgrade, and even then there's no audio) |

Things Improve When People Are Looking...
| Situation: You're Wondering If Transparency Helps... “Transparency has a huge value on moving these things forward,” - Jonathan Breul, executive director for IBM Center for the Business of Government An article today in The Federal Times, entitled OMB: IT project management is improving describes a substantial improvement in government project performance. "The management watch list highlights weak business cases for hundreds of government IT projects. The projects are considered at risk because of deficient acquisition strategies, poor data security measures or flawed design plans. Agencies are required by law to submit the business cases to OMB for approval in order to get funding for them. The number of IT project business cases on the watch list fell to 183 as of March 31 from 346 last December. Because some business cases cover multiple IT projects, the number of IT projects that are deemed at risk is likely far higher than this number. The business cases on the list cover projects worth a combined $9.7 billion in fiscal 2008 investments.
Business cases are dropped from the list as agencies document to OMB that they are addressing weaknesses. OMB spokeswoman Andrea Wuebker said that to get cases off the list, agencies assigned full-time project managers, completed certification and accreditation procedures to assess data security risks and showed they had conducted quantitative analysis for the investment.
