From yesterday’s comments and feedback and TeamRoom


Tags :


How many people use TeamRoom effectively?  I know we have fired up one or two maximum, but no more than that.  Does anyone else beside Philip Storry actually have TeamRooms in use?  I think it is a good template with some great features that we definitely don't utilize correctly.  But with Quickplaces, they got forgotten very easily.  Here is what Lotus puts in as the description:

What is TeamRoom?

TeamRoom is a Lotus Notes application designed to support processes that help people work together.  The software does not create the sense of shared purpose, common language, focus, and drive which make effective teams productive.  But, by embedding in its technology a template for many of the basic practices of "good teaming," TeamRoom facilitates the creation and ongoing development of processes and practices common to high performance teams.


Examples of work made easier and more efficient by TeamRoom include:
  • Raising & discussing issues and concerns
  • Creating (collaborative) product:  memos, presentations, other "deliverables"
  • Brainstorming (which, hopefully, leads to resolution and action)
  • Preparing for meetings:  one can present and share information in the TeamRoom before the meeting, so that meeting time can be focused on decision making
  • Tracking meeting agendas and resulting action items.

So does that help anyone decide if they should be investigating TeamRoom?  Which they have again updated for Domino 7 I might add.
