Well, ProjExec was quite a hit at Lotusphere 2012. IBM featured Trilog Group and ProjExec in the Opening General Session, and the product was demoed in numerous sessions.

There’s a lot of talk out there about the failure of enterprise social implementations, and it’s unfortunate.

However, as we’ve previously argued, PM 2.0 and Social Project Management are fundamentally different. Unfortunately, the […]
Sorry for the long hiatus – but the project wall is back and blogging again. We will be updating the blog 1-2 times per week with original content, and hopefully reposting other, interesting, information regarding social project management a few times per week as well.
