A couple of years ago, I was working for a software development company that has many branches in different countries. One of the challenging tasks was writing the documentation for the final products. This task needed the contribution of many developers, designers and teachers to provide manuals for their related work and compile these documents to generate the developer and the end user manual. Without any document management solution the tracking versions and putting the work all together was an utter nightmare.

IT projects are notorious of being difficult to manage and have lower success rates than other projects. There are many reasons for this problem including unclear vision of the project outcome, poor requirement analysis and the communication gap between business and IT. An additional reason for the IT software projects failure is the poor change management.

Published: September 3, 2009Posted in: Enterprise 2.0, Project Management 2.0, Web 2.0
Enterprise 2.0 facilitates creative methods of communication. The concept of pushing information instead of pulling in Enterprise 2.0 is unique. On the other hand, communicating effectively with stakeholders and project personnel is key factor for successful project management. Exchanging project messages or updates in a timely fashion is critical. Therefore, communication channels are established early in projects and maintained thought the project course.

I was searching for the past two weeks for Enterprise 2.0 success stories. And since I have a Business Process Management (BPM) background, I could not help myself to extend my search to look for connections between BPM and Enterprise 2.0. Do they correlate? Or contradict each other?

He lists three possible scenarios, where BPM and Enterprise 2.0 can work together: Read the rest of this entry »
