Teams can use a wiki to organize and work on critical documents and project plans. It lets people work more efficiently between face to face meetings and becomes a magnet for all the information relevant to a project. This workshop will show you how to:

  • Organize your project on a wiki
  • Help your team make the change from trading emails and attachments to gathering, building, and editing information on the wiki
  • Manage everything related to the project, including background research, notes, URLs, timesheets, meetings agendas & minutes, action items, and finished documents, presentations, and files

Grow Your Wiki

What’s the best way to grow wiki use at work? Should you even call it a “wiki”? What are the best uses? Who are the best promoters?

Stewart Mader, Wiki Evangelist, adoption expert, and author of Wikipatterns and Grow Your Wiki, will answer these and take your questions.

We’ll explore:

  • What’s the business value of wikis?
  • How to make the case for using a wiki in your group or team
  • How to encourage participation
  • Build excitement and drive adoption using examples of current wiki success
  • How do wikis change an organization’s culture for the better?
  • How do wikis “fit” with other business tools like SharePoint, blogs, content management systems, and email?
