Tip of the Month

Starting with version 5.2.5 it is possible to use icons instead of text to display statuses on the project and activity lists. To enable this feature, go to the Options menu and put a checkmark beside the "Show status symbols instead of text" item. The same Options screen will also allow you to show a graphical bar to indicate the progress instead of plain text with percentage.

You can assign your own icons for different statuses using the System Lists menu.

Project Management Book of the Month

Collaboration 2.0
by David Coleman & Stewart Levine

From the authors:
You should read this book if you use any type of collaboration technology from IM/Chat to a virtual team space. The book is most beneficial for teams, groups, departments, cross-organizational teams and distributed organizations that are looking at some of the Web 2.0 technologies focused on communication, collaboration and interaction.

The authors' goals are to help you grasp the full array of tools available. This is to allow for effective choices tp be made based on the best vehicles for the context, capacity, physical organization, desired outcomes and purposes of the collaboration. We want our readers to develop competence and capacity as conscious communicators and collaborative process designers.
