Social Media News Release

Core Facts

Today Projectplace, the European leader in online project collaboration, launched a new Project Overview with an integrated feature for facilitating conversations between project members. The new tool, enabling simplified discussions and transparent file sharing, is inspired by the Social Project Management approach and social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

With this enhancement, Projectplace enables project members to visualise the key elements of a project and gives room to discuss them freely on the Project Overview. The underlying goal for this product release has been to facilitate easier communication between project members regarding the project’s goals, decisions, status updates and required changes.

Projectplace goes social

The new conversation feature allows team members to communicate in a quick and very visible way similar to Twitter or Facebook. It enables a new level of interaction between project members. Features include:

• @reference and notifications via email
  Direct a conversation to a certain member by using @reference. People involved in a discussion thread can choose to be notified via email whenever a new comment is posted.

• #tag
  Filter and search conversations through tagging relevant words and phrases. By using this function, the team will gradually define important concepts and create a common understanding of the project and its purpose.  

• Previews of documents, videos and images
  Attach photos or embed videos from YouTube and Vimeo. Share and discuss documents and get quick feedback from team members.

These social project management features are designed for professional use and exclusively accessible for internal and external project members.
