Blogging for Project Management

Posted at 15:23 in Corporate Blogging.

10 ways to use blogs for managing projects by Tim Duckett, an english type. That's how the list goes (my comments in brackets):

  • 1-Communicating with project stakeholders

  • 2-Replacing paper

  • 3-Building issue logs

  • 4-Capturing information snippets: from shared passwords to useful URLs to code snippets (I like that one)

  • 5-Publicising the project progress

  • 6-Reducing email overload (Yeah... to some extent. Collaborative platforms are much better for that)

  • 7-Capturing requirements

  • 8-Circulating screenshots

  • 9-Keeping team members up-to-date (via RSS, provided they use it)

  • 10-Provide an automatic audit trail (yes, yes, yes!)
And, of course, it's cheap. O the other hand I still haven't figured out a simple way to install a blog server within my company's VPN without asking for permission from people who don't have a clue, and who will pretend we can do exactly the same using the company portal.
