The Project Collaboration Portal

A project’s success – excellent communication and collaboration between teams & stakeholders

Type of collaboration & communication • Review plans, M.I. and reports • Make documents available for review by a

secure user group – authorised personnel • Give limited read / write access• Store and back up for a defined period (may be

dictated by legislation)• May need some integration with other systems.• Adhere to security, compliance, regulatory and

privacy requirements of the sector inline with business or project specifics

Why Projects Collaborate

ECM – the term to describe a formalized means of organizing and storing a project or

organisation’s documents and other contentWhy?

• Governance• Retention• Compliance • Email / Audit Trail / Traceability• Any business decision • Uniquely identified records / documents

Project Collaboration Portal

Ciaran Walsh

The Problem I can’t find the information I need!

• Project documentation distributed across multiple locations

Which document is the right one?• Multiple (often conflicting) versions of documents sent

via emailWhy was this change made?

• No way to capture decision processes or discussions I can’t easily share info and collaborate

with my team and other project stakeholders!• Especially with virtual teams and inter-organisation

projects
