Real-Time Team Communication

Get your people engaged and enable their communication with real-time team collaboration. Projectplace team collaboration software makes real a transparent and social approach to communicating that is proven to:

• Grow efficiency and productivity
• Increase team flexibility
• Shorten time to delivery
• Raise team spirit and reduce turnover

Geographically distributed teams are becoming the norm, and the number of projects people work on is continually escalating. Having team collaboration tools that are robust yet easy to use is critical for organizations that are going to thrive in this economy. Projectplace has the answer.

Collaboration is built into Projectplace seamlessly; it is accessible from virtually every corner of this highly collaborative tool. Team members can communicate with each other easily from:

• The Team Overview
• The Workspace Overview
• The Conversation Tab
• Cards and boards in kanban boards
• Activities in Gantt charts
• Documents

In all areas, conversations are displayed chronologically for ease of reference. To simplify things even further, Projectplace also provides:

• A powerful search function to let you search for messages by contributor, project, team, and so forth, to quickly find a particular conversation thread
• A robust filter that enables search by a specific contributor – which includes anyone who has created, commented on, or liked a post – or by hashtag, which is used just as in social media to categorize conversations. Filters can even be combined, joining a contributor with a hashtag to narrow the filter’s search results
• The ability to download conversations into a spreadsheet, for offline access later

All posts and conversation threads are time-and date-stamped, making this an important tool for team members and stakeholders to inform decision making.

This highly collaborative tool could not be easier to use, and powerful functions are built in to enrich the experience.

Write and share.

When you write a new post, it’s easy to select whom to share your conversation with. Just use the @ref function and select whom you want to share with from your workspace member list. They will be automatically notified of your message. Need to share your message with everyone? Just select the group All Members. It’s that easy.

If you need to edit a post, no problem. Members can easily edit or delete their own posts, and administrators can delete any posts in the workspace.

Attach media.

You can attach media to your post:

• Microsoft Office documents
• Video files
• Images
• Adobe PDFs
• CAD drawings
• Virtually any files that are necessary to your project can be attached to your post

Pull in files from your computer, Google docs, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, or the Projectplace secure document repository. If you attach an image, it will show as a preview on your conversation post.

Categorize.

You can categorize your post with a hashtag symbol. Just as in social media, the # helps others understand immediately what your post is in reference to, and ensures that filtering returns more useful results.

Involving others is easy with the Projectplace collaboration solution. Share links to posts with others, or simply use the @ref function to quickly notify a person or group about a conversation. Even if they are not on the team, you can include others in the discussion to get their input, help solve a problem, share media, or ask for their review of a document.

This easy sharing works the same way across all areas of Projectplace. Quickly have conversations about:

• Workspaces: Ask for deliverables to be turned in, plan group outings, and communicate corporate news
• Teams: Take the pulse of your people and ensure everyone feels on track to meet their deadlines
• Projects: Have quick check-ins, or drill down on a particular subject
• Kanban cards and Gantt chart activities: Focus on a single issue to advance the plan
• Documents: Ask for reviews and follow up with questions

To show support and appreciation for colleagues, use the Like function. The person who wrote the post or comment will be notified that you like it. You can also see who else has liked a post.

Android or iOS, it doesn’t matter: Projectplace has apps for that, and they’re designed to keep your teams and projects collaborating and on track.

With robust functionality paired with an intuitive interface, Projectplace mobile apps ensure you can connect from anywhere. You’ll see your complete conversations feed aggregated from all your workspaces. You’ll see when someone:

• Mentions you or a group you are a member of
• Comments on a post you have created
• Comments on a document, folder, link, card, milestone, or activity that you have created, are assigned to, or have commented on
• Comments on a post you have liked or commented on

So wherever you are, you can stay fully involved and up to date.
