Although I cringe every time someone says that Gantt charts do not work. As a project manager I find that gantt charts are very important, even if you are using methods other than waterfall. Most of my projects are planned using the Agile Project Management method, and I still use Gantt Charts. Many Collaborative web-based <a href="http://www.clarizen.com/" rel="nofollow">Project Softwares</a> like Clarizen do not even have a Gantt chart. I think this is a major Minus. Great Post.

Henry Mon, 23 Jun 2008 20:07:16 +0000 http://www.disambiguity.com/social-project-management-at-enterprise-20/#comment-104126 First off I want to congratulate you on your lack of bullet point lists. I can't begin to say how refreshing it is to see a presentation on project management without a hail of bullet points. As I see it the promise of social project management comes from acknowledging that projects (particularly large projects) are a social activity. People doing work with people, for other people, with commitments to yet other people. The more people (i.e. larger projects), the more interpersonal interactions, the more social effects inside of the project. The focus on Gantt Charts as an example of something that just doesn't work is interesting. It turns out that there is a mathematical reason that Gantt Charts the way they are done today just don't work (when I get a post for this I'll link here).
