August 2006 | Blogging Your Project
Elizabeth Harrin, a senior project manager and writer describes how blogs enable project communication and includes two Traction case studies, August 3, 2006 The ability to
share views in real time can also help combat the silo mentality that
grows up around projects. A blog is a level playing field, owned by the
project, and easy enough to use for everyone to feel they can get
involved... early signs are
that blogs are a low-cost solution for project managers to improve
communication and collaboration on projects. That alone should make
them worth investigating further.

Kowalczyk compares the weblog to the introduction of e-mail. “E-mail crossed all venues and is now an integral part of program management,” he says. But the weblog may be a better tool, he adds. “The weblog is a systematic, time-ordered way to look at information from e-mail and from Web sites, with a particular focus on what you are trying to do as an individual.
