- Hello, happy to b here, 2 decades, appreciation/respect Hello, my name is Lisa Qualls. I am happy to be here with you today and look forward to sharing with you some exciting new tools available to help you with your complex, challenging and sometimes mind warping jobs. I am like you and manage projects every day as a business owner. I have been managing projects for almost two decades and have a tremendous amount of appreciation and respect for each of you, what you do and your desire to continue learning to become better. Passion/early adopter, intuitive,simple,easy or give up, full disclosure, commitment2answers I have a strong passion to find new and improved ways to make my work teams and clients happy. This passion leads me to be viewed by some as an “early adopter” of technology. I’m a self proclaimed geek but unfortunately that doesn’t translate to always knowing how to use said technology. I often find that if something isn’t intuitive, simple or makes my life easier then I don’t adopt it. I have a patience issue so if I can’t figure out a new tool fairly quickly then my ADD kicks in and I give up. I share this with you as the tools I am going to share with you today satisfy these requirements for the most part. In the spirit of full disclosure, most of the tools I am going to highlight are ones I actually use just about every day. However, there are a few that were recommended by others but because of their purpose, they don’t necessarily apply to my needs so I don’t use them. I’m confident you’ll be able to figure out which ones are which when I talk about them or if you ask a specific question that I may not have an answer for. In the event that occurs, I fully commit to getting your contact information so I can get you the answer later this week. Agenda – survey, what a tool is, helpful to facilitate work I am going to start my presentation with a little survey. I like to get my audiences engaged in my presentations so if you were looking to catch up sleep from the weekend you picked the wrong break-out session. I am then going to talk about what I think makes a good tool. Often times, we are told about a new “tool” that our organization is implementing only to find it is not a tool in any shape or form, at least for you the project manager. As defined by good ol’ mr. webster a tool applies broadly to a device that facilitates work. Now I don’t know about all of you but I know in my previous corporate life, I was often told to use a tool that didn’t help me facilitate work but usually created more work and hindered my ability to facilitate work. Therefore, to make sure we are all on the same page we will review what a tool is and more important what it should help you do. Tool review, web-based, freemium, api, reference on blog We will then dive in to the tools themselves. I will talk about tools that help you manage your projects, your teams and your selves. These are all web-based tools so no software installation is required. Almost all of them offer some kind of free evaluation so you can try them before you buy. Many of them are open API which means they work with other open API applications and make it easy to develop supporting applications specific to your organization. I’ll talk more about this when I discuss the specific tools. In addition to posting this presentation on my LinkedIn site, I’ll also have a post on my company blog at lightthread.com that will include reference links to the tools we discuss. Questions any time, lets start As I said, I like to engage my audience so if you have a question feel free to ask them at any time as I know I will be asking you questions as we go along. So, without further adieu let’s get started…
- Do you know what tools are available today? Do you know the difference between a bad tool and a good one?
- There are tools that help you manage your projects, your teams and your self. Before we jump in to specific tools lets first review what makes a tool a GOOD one.
- Build teams Create culture Develop powerful projects
- Lead teams Direct individuals Advise sponsors and stakeholders
- Easy to learn and understand Easy to teach Easy to use
- Analyze performance Measure results Assess status
- A good tool helps you achieve what you could not on your own…a good tool elevates you and your team’s performance to success

- Google alerts, google voice, google docs, google calendar, gmail, reader, talk Google Wave – Real Time Collaboration The feature: In email, you have to search for files, and then attach them before sending. Then you need to open them up when you actually receive the email. Google Wave ignores that entire process by allowing users to drag files from the desktop and dropping them. Anyone can then see the files as they’re being uploaded. Images are shown in an album format, music can be played, and docs can be quickly shared Why it’s game-changing: Drag-and-drop file uploads makes Google Wave not only a communication platform, but a useful project management system. Companies could use Google Wave as their communication and file-sharing platform. Combined with Wave Extensions, you could build an entire project management platform and time management system better than anything on the market.
