Communications is the key of the success for any project. How you communicate the most valuable asset is a key factor to success. Information is the treasure of these days, our projects need it, used it and deliver it.
How you share your information will give you an advantage. Keep your team, and your stakeholders up to date will make your life easier and your projects formal. Some time ago, and still in many companies, the email is the key of the communication. Unfortunately, when teams grow the amount of emails becomes unmanageable, at the point that you probably will spend more time reading emails than working.
Innovative companies are step further using documentation management systems or even more specific to PM software tools. My sad case, we are using a fancy but nasty software of a well know software company. I don’t want to say names because I feel afraid of the power of one of the richest men in the whole world -if you know what I meant :-).
But, what if you don’t want to spend a lot of money in a software tool. What if you are starting your project and want to access the best of breath. Easy, Google Docs jump in into the scene to give us all a great tool.
Why Google Docs?
First time I used it I said “simple but powerful”. But know I’m sure I save a lot of time sending and reading documents just by publishing them using Google Docs.
Google Docs will give you immediate and secure access to your documents, and it will provide you great tools like Word Processing, Spreadsheet and Presentation tools. And if you want to address the notification issue and avoid the email rush, voilà it is done: Google Docs has a built-in news feed that will inform at the time you are publishing. And even more, are you afraid about offline periods of time? the you should try Offline Google Docs.

Share without restrictions, make your project communications plan simple with Google Docs.
