The Social Collaboration Shoot-Out The Social Collaboration Shoot-Out According to the McKinsey Global Institute: • Social technologies could contribute $900 billion to $1.3 trillion in annual value to businesses. • 2/3 of this potential value is based on improving collaboration, communication and productivity. • 75% of enterprises will adopt a social collaboration platform in 2013. • Social presents an opportunity to raise the productivity of interaction workers by 20-25%. The social technologies industry is fragmented and often broken into two camps: project/task management (like Asana, Basecamp, Do.com, Trello and Wunderlist) and private social networks for collaboration/interaction (like Jive, Podio and Yammer). Deltek believes that these two focus areas should be connected in an integrated solution … like Kona. (All details based on publicly-available information as of May 6, 2013.) For more information or to start using Kona today, please visit www.Kona.com. The Social Collaboration Shoot-Out Expanded Category Descriptions • Free Version without People or Workspace Limits: Kona offers a robust free version with unlimited users and unlimited spaces/projects -- as well as applications for both iOS and Android devices. The Kona Business Edition will offer additional administrative controls and expanded features specifically for business users. • Group Discussions: Kona is “conversation-centric” with powerful permissions determining who gains access to shared information and discussions. Yes, Kona has tasks -- but it’s been designed around the belief that communication within a group is more important than task management. • Group Tasks: Kona provides expanded capabilities around tasks with multiple owners, followers and flexible permissions for accessibility. A differentiating feature is the “everyone must complete” task option, which automatically keeps track of which members of a group have finished an item that is required by all. • Calendar: Kona provides a “conversation-centric” calendar for the group, while also allowing for them to be both imported from and exported to other ICS-compatible calendars. The Kona calendar also provides recurring events, drag-and-drop management of events, and includes tasks. • Full Google Docs Integration: Kona takes Google Docs integration to the next level by passing the permissions within a Kona conversation, task or event to the Google Doc sharing permissions. It’s simple: create or select the Google Doc you want to share from your Kona conversation. When people get removed from a Kona conversation or space, they get removed from the Google Doc as well. • Box Integration: Kona has been integrated with Box, providing enhanced file-sharing capabilities for users -- wherever their files may be located. Kona will also be expanding this integration with Box’s premium version for Kona Business. • Dropbox Integration: Kona has also been integrated with Dropbox, providing enhanced file-sharing capabilities for users -- wherever their files may be located. • Company Account Administration and Control: Kona Business provides companies with a domain-based administrative account. This allows organizations to own and manage their information in company- related Kona spaces, while still providing individuals with the ability to own personal spaces they create outside of the account. • Templates: Kona Business provides the ability to create and access space templates for repeatable projects within the company. These templates are a way to document and later apply knowledge around successfully achieving a group objective inside a business.

  • The Landscape of Project Management Tools for Nonprofits
    The Landscape of Project Management Tools for Nonprofits December 2018 FOREWORD Dear Reader, Nonprofit organizations are now looking to project management as a way of improving their effectiveness and better fulfilling their missions. With the maturation of Cloud-based solutions, and the growing prominence of Software-as-a-Service, a new generation of project management tools are now available for organizations of all sizes. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for the project management practice to be driven by IT. In fact, many organiza- tions create a PMO, or Project Management Office, out of their existing IT department. However, as highlighted in this report, the most important step in improving an organization’s project management is not the technology solution they select but the culture and people that make up the organization. There are no one-size-fits-all project management applications. Each one is somewhat unique, and well suited to a particular approach to project management. Any organization that seeks to be more effective in how it manages projects will benefit from this report. Whether you are interested in learning more about project management fundamentals, want to gain specific knowledge about project management best practices, and/or would like to review the survey of available solutions, this report will provide much needed guidance. Our goal at Community IT is to help nonprofit organizations achieve their missions through the effective use of technology. We are a proud sponsor of this report and long term supporter of Idealware in helping to further that goal. Sincerely, Johan Hammerstrom, President and CEO Community IT Innovators | www.communityit.com How Was This Report Funded? Maintaining editorial integrity and impartiality while funding reports in the technology sector demands rigor.

  • Project Management Applications
    28 Using Mobile Tools to Improve Pharmacy Productivity Project Management Applications A pharmacist in a professional setting will eventually have to lead a project that might be individual in nature, part of a departmental initiative, or part of an institution-wide objective. Management and oversight of the multitude of tasks, timelines, personnel, and assorted resources required to complete these projects may be overwhelming at times so an organizational aid is essential. As discussed in the section on task management, there are many mobile apps currently available to help manage everyday tasks; however, while these apps excel in the management of tasks for a singular user or small groups, they are not necessarily suitable for larger, more complex projects. For this reason, there are a number of apps designed around the concept of teams participating in the management and completion of projects (Table 3-2). Centralized task tracking—The basic premise of project management apps is to centralize task tracking and completion in an all-in-one package collaboratively that multiple users can access. These apps bring together document management, team communication, task tracking, resource availability, and team management under one overarching software roof (Figure 3-6). Some apps provide more advanced features, such as built-in calendar services or voice/video communication as premium services. Nonetheless, many apps have initial free tiers of service that allow small teams to work together with the basic features necessary for project completion. As a project grows in complexity and the personnel numbers increase, the group can then migrate from the free tier to a paid tier of services and advanced features.
