I have built a site for students to manage their projects online. It enables people to create their own private pages where they can schedule meetings, chat, write an outline, create polls etc.

It’s totally free so pls have a look. Thx

Hi Parallel, I will certainly check it out, as I know Elizabeth and Lindsay, so it must be worthwhile.

BTW If you are interested, I just wrote something at Gantthead about this topic:

We made quite an interesting podcast on this topic with Elizabeth Harin (Girls Guide to Project Management) Lindsay Scott (how to manage a chamel) and Owain Wilson from the Association for Project Management. You can listen to it at http://www.parallelprojecttraining.com/podcasts.html

If you need a tool to manage your software development projects,
I can reccommend

It includes complete set of features for web-based creation, editing, viewing, discussing, versioning, secured sharing and publishing of project plans.

It’s free!

This social stuff may have a place in business as a tool, but the tool must be applied properly and used properly. I have yet to see this happen in a manner that didn’t create a waste of time. The reasons that this caused a waste of time is the flaws interface, the web site, the display and a keyboard. and the amount of unneeded data that must be consumed to see pertinent data While the access speed is now almost on non-variable, the display size and people skills are. It requires that the people has fast access, adequate display ( be able to read message efficiently ) and can type. I have found that most peoplein business can’t touch type and forcing them to use these services to get information creates a HUGH waste of time.

All that being said, I am in the middle of conversion with a printing company and have suggested that they implement a twitter type system between all the printing machines and the office / graphics / maintenance. This would allow people to be aware of time to complete jobs changes, possible additional materials needed and maintenance issues that can be addressed in a non-real time manner BUT need to be addressed and not forgotten ( if it is not written, is was not said ). This is possible now because almost all modern printing equipment have a computer as the control station and that can use that for communication in a noisy and larger manufacturing area multi-building), where phones and personal are limited .

A twitter like project feed can help everyone keep updated about what other team members are doing.
