What Jigsaw Can teach Us About Project Management

January 26, 2010 by Brent Sordyl 0 Comments

A key lesson Jigsaw has learnt however, is that when you empower team members with a certain level of responsibility they will often exceed your expectations and perform above and beyond.

If as a project manager you have trust issues with team members and feel uneasy delegating key tasks to them, but at the same time clearly have a packed work schedule building death traps, you could start by delegating lower risk tasks to test the water.

Salmon Protocol – RSS Unification Protocol Summary

January 23, 2010 by Brent Sordyl 0 Comments

Conversations are becoming distributed and fragmented on the Web. Content is increasingly syndicated and re-aggregated beyond its original context. Technologies such as RSS, Atom, and PubSubHubbub allow for a real time flow of updates to readers, but this leads to a fragmentation of conversations. The comments, ratings, and annotations increasingly happen at the aggregator and are invisible to the original source.

The Salmon Protocol is an open, simple, standards-based solution that lets aggregators and sources unify the conversations. It focuses initially on public conversations around public content.
