The major benefit of a Collaborative Development Environment is that it enables teams which are geographically separated to evolve ideas, post progress reports, query each other, share documentation, and improve information flow between group members. It will enable dialog and meetings among team members who cannot be in the same place, or even online at the same time. Members will become part of a collaborative learning and development process and gain from each other's questions and perspectives. Biographix has been designing, implementing and supporting Collaborative Development Environments for over 10 years. Collaborative Development Environments allow members with a standard web browser to post and view messages on that site.
People can post messages to the web site, and respond to postings made by others.
This interaction allows them to respond to each other's ideas, contribute their own ideas, and build on the stored knowledge contained in the discussion database. The major features and elements of a standard work site are presented below for review.
