What Does ‘Collaboration’ Really Mean?

Collaboration is the key to success in any business, yet many businesses struggle to perform effectively. While investing in collaboration technologies is important, collaboration also requires cultivating collaborative behavior. Collaboration isn't a prescriptive process that can be "applied" or "implemented." The right tool can help, but it must be an enabler that allows teams to work together and engage with their processes. Planview AgilePlace is one such tool: it lets you define how you want to work and map out your processes, then share that information with your team in a simple, unobtrusive way. The benefits of this type of visual management are self-apparent: bottlenecks and problems become conspicuous and people start collaborating.
