I\u2019ve got to admit\u2014I love checklists. There\u2019s something about the action of physically checking a task off that gives you a sense of accomplishment. Plus, when the list starts shrinking, and you get closer to a goal, or simply to the weekend, it\u2019s pretty exciting. So, in the spirit of checklists, here is a special one\u2014one that can help you improve collaborative work management<\/a> within your organization.<\/p>\n

Before getting into the list, I want to tell you why you should care. You may be thinking about your current collaborative work management efforts, hesitant to try something new. However, with today\u2019s rapidly changing business environment, teams are becoming more spread out<\/a> and there are more accidental project managers than ever. These are people who don\u2019t necessarily have formal management training; you may be one of them. It\u2019s a big responsibility to be thrown into a project management role, and it can get stressful without the proper tools. I encourage you to continue reading and download the eBook, Survival Guide for Successful Collaborative Work Management<\/a>, to learn how you can promote effective collaboration within your team or organization, even if just an \u201caccidental\u201d project manager.<\/p>\n

\"Find<\/a><\/p>\n

Beat the Workplace Chaos<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sixty two percent of people taking on project management roles don\u2019t have formal training and are often thrown into situations in which workers are all using different tools. In fact, this inconsistency is one of the top five biggest work collaboration hurdles in business today. Here is how you can conquer the challenge:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stop juggling too many tasks<\/strong><\/a>\u2014make sense of the chaos by ensuring tasks are evenly delegated among your team.<\/li>\n
  2. Work smarter, not harder<\/strong><\/a>\u2014plan while remaining flexible, to better respond to changes.<\/li>\n
  3. Use one tool that does more, not more tools<\/strong><\/a>\u2014keep everything in one place and digitize your milestones, so they can be seen by everyone.<\/li>\n
  4. Create a virtual office<\/strong><\/a>\u2014stay connected wherever you go by instituting a secure, cloud-based solution for collaboration.<\/li>\n
  5. Use Kanban boards to become more agile<\/strong><\/a>\u2014let your team take control by connecting individual tasks to the bigger picture, allowing them to see how their work is contributing to the goal.<\/li>\n
  6. Turn your plan into a reality<\/strong><\/a>\u2014rank the importance of tasks and be graceful when handling change.<\/li>\n
  7. Report a success<\/strong><\/a>\u2014make progress visible using dashboards, keeping team members up-to-date on the progress of work.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Keep this list in your back pocket, or print out the eBook, Survival Guide for Successful Collaborative Work Management<\/a>, so you can start checking off these steps. Trust me, once you reach the bottom of the list, you\u2019ll not only feel accomplished, but will have enacted positive change within your organization. ProjectPlace is just the tool to help you accomplish this improvement. Comment below your progress while working your way through the checklist.<\/p>\n
