BP3_TeamLab

I have chosen TeamLab (www.TeamLab.com) to use in my project. TeamLab is a team collaboration and project management tool. Presently, there are two major projects involved with national real estate Academy. They include the development of the business model, and the website. The team members for these projects are located in the USA, India, Bangladesh and India. TeamLab is the perfect tool for collaboration on these projects. Presently, we are using Odesk for the administrative management and payroll an e-mail. We use Skype for communication and in some instances text messaging. We have attempted using other collaboration tools such as base camp, WebEx, Central desktop. I have found these online collaboration tools to be cumbersome, undesirable learning curve and expense. TeamLab have all the tools and features of these collaboration tools and it's free. I will immediately start the process to incorporate our team processes in TeamLab. The setup TeamLab is very easy. The following picture is a shot of our dashboard.

The following picture is a snapshot of the first project posting, which is the and NREA business model site. There are three people associated with this particular project.

An online team collaborate is essential to the development of NREA ptojects.  Also, it is important to departmentlize. Also it is import to departmentalize work in progress.  TeamLab features allow us to separate work and give access on a need basis. The chatting feature an online discussion forum will allow us to keep records of conversations in one site. The time tracking feature is a very convenient addition that will eventually allow us to eliminate the use of Odesk.
