Collaboration management is a large component of the microproject methodology. Companies utilize the Web as a source for industry news and intelligence. Management and staff who remain informed also remain influential. Looking at the bigger picture, a company that stays current stays competitive. Perhaps most importantly, the Web provides a mechanism for interaction without the hindrance of physical boundaries.
Communications are streamlined and collaboration enhanced.
Program administrators post project status, timetables, and targeted milestones. The Standish Group has observed recent moves to centralize business operations. Project managers also utilize Web communications to direct projects physically as well as virtually. This is especially helpful with a dispersed work force and user base. Collaboration management is intended to allow management to moderate as well as communicate with the staff.
