Roland Piquepaille writes “No, it’s not a typo. A plog is short for ‘project log’ like a blog is short for ‘web log.’ And plogs start to be used as tools to manage projects, especially in the IT world, as discovered Michael Schrage of the MIT. He reports his findings in an article published by CIO Magazine, “The Virtues of Chitchat.” Schrage found that if plogs are not really commonplace, they’re not exactly rare. And they are even used to manage large IT projects, such as ERP rollouts. I totally agree with him that a plog is of great value to integrate people in a team or to keep track of the advancement of a project. And you, what’s your view? If you’re a project manager, do you use a plog for better control? And if not today, will you use one in the future? This overview contains selected excerpts from Schage’s article which will help you to answer the above questions.”

Basecamp for Plogging - by gokubi (Score: 5, Informative) Thread
I recently started using Basecamp from 37Signals for tracking projects. It’s basically a “plogging” system with to-do lists, milestones, file uploading, and one of the most intuitive interfaces I’ve ever used on the web. I’ve been tracking internal projects in the way described in the article—I think it’s great.
It also makes it really easy to make client-extranet plogs where clients can comment on your entries. Really slick.

See this interesting short piece in FP about how military contractors, the Office of Naval Research and Law enforcement agencies are testing plogs on their projects and networks.
