Maybe you\u2019ve got an amazing customer experience, but it is a struggle to get new products and services to market. Or you finally have all the right people in place to land that new client, but can\u2019t communicate and collaborate efficiently to get things done and beat the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it\u2019s about whether your people have the right tools to remake themselves into an efficient, responsive team \u2013 and overcome the challenge of working across time zones, locations, and cultures. Driving a high level of collaboration is the hard part \u2013 whether you are an \u201cofficial\u201d or \u201cun-official\u201d project manager.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Clearly, there are many new ways of working in a digital world. In an article for IT Pro Portal, Planview\u2019s Chief Product Officer Patrick Tickle discusses <a title=\"Why is collaboration software suddenly such a big deal?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.itproportal.com\/features\/why-is-collaboration-software-suddenly-such-a-big-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Why is Collaboration Software Suddenly Such a Big Deal?<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><a href=https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/products\/projectplace\/ target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4518 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"Survival Guide for Successful Collaborative Work Management\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Survivial-Guide.jpg\" alt=\"Survival Guide for Successful Collaborative Work Management\" width=\"700\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Survivial-Guide.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.planview.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Survivial-Guide-300x129.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>In a 24\/7 world, he writes, it is essential to arm virtual teams with the right technology and communication tools to keep every member motivated and engaged. This is especially true when it comes to ensuring access and visibility to shared documents and project status to get the job done.\u00a0Here are some of the article\u2019s key findings I think you will find interesting:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">A growing number of millennials require work-life flexibility and the ability to work from anywhere on any device<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Virtual teams are on the rise \u2013 nearly a third of staff collaborate with geographically dispersed colleagues, according to a study of 200 U.S. professionals<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Even in the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and Bring Your Own Software (BYOS) era, 73% of survey participants rely heavily on email to share documents and to understand project status, followed by spreadsheets (62%) and the phone (53%)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I think we can all agree that bouncing between 8 to 12 applications to get work done will only add up to wasted time and duplication. But how can you overcome collaboration challenges without wasting time and effort? Today&#8217;s workers need:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A more centralized, seamless user experience to communicate faster and plan workloads more effectively<\/li>\n<li>A\u00a0single place where all documents and deadlines are stored so projects and tasks are visible to everyone<\/li>\n<li>Mobility and flexibility to enable these dispersed global members to be more productive<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is just a short summary of what\u00a0<a title=\"Collaborative Work Management\" href=https:\/\/www.planview.com\/products-solutions\/products\/projectplace\/ target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collaborative work management tools like Projectplace<\/a> provide organizations (there are many more practical uses, features, and benefits).
