I know there is probably a lot of information on Gantthead that addresses my question, but I have not yet found the right search to get the info...
I have been seeing much in project collaboration software. I know SharePoint is popular. I am also looking for other ones that people use. I have a vision of if I had to choose a system to help my teams share information and communicate more effectively: Project Dashboard, Updates/blogs from different teams/areas, Issue tracking and updates, document sharing, etc.
I just want to know what people are using and how they function. Do any of them allow for subscribing to "feeds" and discussion updates, etc? One thing I am looking for is a way to decrease the amount of communication done by email. Not only allowing a place for all to see the information but also a way people can tell if a resource has updated.
Brian, for a simple solution that fits your objectives of sharing information between teams and obviating email, I suggest you try http://pbwiki.com/. It's fairly easy to make your own collaboration page there (with a project name of your choice), with access control for your team. I'm trying it myself and finding the simplicity is an attractive feature, as not all team members are techies. The developers are open to suggestions for improvement, so why not try it yourself and give 'em some feedback. Saving Changes...
