Here are some good tips by Gil Heiman from Clarizen (psst…one of our competitors!) to get your team to adopt an online project collaboration. You can read the entire article here or read the summary in points below:
#1: Start with the basics — incorporate everyday tools
#2: Novel concept alert: Ask the user first
#3: Loosen up - go subscription-based
#4: Collaboration promotes adoption
#5: The key word is “user” interface
#6: Fast deployment = fast adoption
#7: Adoption flows downhill
#8: Less is more
#9: It takes a community
#10: Offer cash rewards
Personally, I don’t believe in the last one. Money will buy you some time but over the long haul if the system you team adopts does not live up to the standard you will see low adoption rates and frustration creeping in.
