Thoughts on Chapter 2
One of the outstanding quotes that cut to the core of me was on the topic of mutual scheduling. “In order to allow customers or partners to make plans based on a given project, a time has to be agreed upon for when specific things will happen” (Berkun, 24). This is something that I have been trying to reach via Google Wave. The wave application is based online and allows Claudia and I to add content, usually in the form of text, to collaborate on the schedule for the project. Use of the wave tool is also the epitome of “…publishing the documents for the group” (Berkun, 59).
I also want to incorporate more time for add/cut discussions because I see training and explanation of podcasting strategies a necessary topic to discuss. Although I always probe for client feedback, Berkun highlights that it is directly related to the length of milestones for the time frame of the project.
