Project Overview

Good communication is at the heart of every successful project

Providing a comprehensive and visual overview of important project information (tollgates, progress, scheduled work, etc.) will make it easier for project members to communicate with each other, and as such to reach consensus on goals, status and required changes. Furthermore, implementing clear and open communication channels can lead to greater commitment and increased creativity from everyone involved.

Seeing is believing

In the social Project Overview the project team can see important project information and have an open discussion about it.

The Project Overview includes:

  • a description of the project's goals
  • a timeline with tollgates and current status
  • a summary of scheduled work
  • pictures and contact details of all team members
  • a social conversations feature

Communicate openly on the Project Overview

The tool allows members of a project to interact in a similar way to Facebook. Members can now post comments and reply to others' in a threaded conversation, with the opportunity to share documents, photos, links and films in each post. Whenever a new comment is added in a threaded conversation, everyone involved will be notified via e-mail.

With the Project Overview you can:

  • keep everyone informed and increase team communication
  • inform, ask questions or have discussions in the conversations tool
  • share documents, photos, videos and links
  • # tag keywords so that you can find all earlier conversations referencing this word (see video)
  • use @ followed by the name of a team member to direct the conversation their way
  • notify people about a new or ongoing conversation
  • encourage positive behaviour by using the Facebook inspired "like-feature" – NEW!
