non-admin help needed
|
|
|
| I can do the tech stuff in my sleep. Now I'm managing several other
people in a mix of unix admin and back-end applications admin. Does
anyone have suggestions of how I can manage tasks, projects,
accomplishments, goal, etc?
This isn't spam. I want to do the Right Thing by these folks. I'm
not into big meetings, but I don't like the idea of 'management
by email' either. The company has 'standardized' on outlook, so I'm
thinking of using the tasks 'feature' inside outlook to coordinate
all this stuff.
I'd like to use a wiki or emacs for coordinating all this stuff,
but I don't think that would work well.

tikiwiki from sourceforge.net works _very_ well for a technical team's
collaborative efforts. The wiki makes documentation painless. Face
it, if it takes more than 5 minutes to document, it won't get written
down, managerial decree or no. When the guys can just write notes as
if it was their notebook (sell it as a "shared notebook" full of
informal notes, works best that way), it'll get done.
Make it easy for 'em to do what you want 'em to do,
and they'll do it.
