Steps to Complete: In Week 8, complete and submit your assignment in BlackBoard using the following steps:
STEP 1:Review the scenario from Assignment 1:
Scenario:Your organization recently shifted to remote work. Since that time, you have heard complaints from a few co-workers concerning the lack of collaboration tools and difficulty effectively collaborating in a remote environment. You also know that your supervisor has recently received a number of complaints concerning the company’s online collaboration tools. Because of these complaints, your supervisor is in search of technology that can be used to effectively facilitate remote collaboration.
Your co-worker recently left you a voicemail message expressing extreme frustration with the lack of collaboration tools and has asked if there is something that can be done to help the organization select and implement a collaboration tool. As part of the task force researching collaboration tools, you have been asked to present on one collaborative tool – providing context on the tool and the advantages of adopting the tool. Your goal is to convince the leadership team to adopt the collaborative tool for use throughout the organization.
STEP 2: Select a collaborative tool that you have used or learned about (this can be the same tool you researched in the discussion in Week 5).
STEP 3: Download the Speech Outline Template
STEP 4: Create an outline in Microsoft Word using the Speech Outline Template.
I selected a Project Management collaboration tool called Smartsheet. Here is the link to the
Smartsheet web page: https://www.smartsheet.com/
Smartsheet is collaborative software that deals with crowdsourcing, tracking sales, and
managing projects. The application is more than just a tool for storage. It offers the collaborative
function as it serves as a common platform allowing teams to plan, create and organize teams
and projects. Smartsheet covers the service request and request updates that are essential for the
smooth operation of a team. The tool offers reports, automated reminders, and notifications that
ensure each team member gets updated information. Each team member is accountable for their
activities.
Smartsheet has a simple user interface. This feature makes it easy for organizations to learn and
integrate into the system. Smartsheets offers a platform to manage projects from start to finish.
The software automates workflow, fosters collaboration, and gets complete insight into several
aspects. However, Smartsheet is costly. The monthly charge may be high for some users. Also,
with many tools to learn, project management can take time to master. It may be timeconsuming to master how each tool works.
