An interesting presentation about Social Project Management by Leisa Reichelt:
She gave this presentation at the Enterprise 2.0 conference, and her main interest is to find
ways that we can break down monster projects into micro projects and be more iterative in the way that we work, and to work more collaboratively with teams that are made up of multiple disciplines
I am not sure whether I would agree with all the points she makes here but I definitely like the idea of breaking down projects which was called “staged delivery” before we came to the Web 2.0 world
