Last year we spent some time working on a Radio UserLand tool which we were calling Team Tasks Tool. The basic idea was leveraging on the power of Radio's embedded object database, outliner and web server to create a p2p task management and tracking tool.

We went pretty far with the development, we were actually using the tool internally, until our company's downsizing forced us to freeze the project (we didn't have the necessary resource to finish it nor enough tasks and people to manage).

I had totally forgot about this tool until a few days ago I received an email from Robert Barksdale asking me about it.

We still have no time to work on it, but maybe somebody out there is willing to work a little on it or simply use it (it already works).

So, just as a test, we are releasing it under a Creative Commons License.

Feel free to contact me () if you have any idea about this cool tool. [Paolo Valdemarin: Paolo's Weblog]

This excellent resource was listed on brandon-hall list as part of a discussion on roles and responsibilities in elearning design. The resource itself is not focused on elearning...but it transfers very nicely. It covers the spectrum, including process review, stakeholder analysis, building a team, implemenation, evaluation...and much more.

The question of the how we get the ball rolling around a vision or idea is critical. It means a true meeting of the minds and true collaboration. I think it is here that good ideas turn sour or just do not get off the ground. One needs to leave one's ego at the door.
