How WizdomLive! Works
-
As a project team is being formed, WizdomLive! assesses the skills of
each individual member. It determines what skills need to be improved upon
and makes recommendations on how to do so. At this point, WizdomLive!
is a tool for organizational diagnostics.
-
Next, WizdomLive! automatically develops a project plan and
distributes tasks to team members. Thus, WizdomLive! becomes the
project manager! All project transactions are logged by WizdomLive!
as the project is conducted and the team members interact. For example, when
a project team member needs information about a particular subject,
WizdomLive! automatically searches and returns the information.
WizdomLive! is not only the project manager, but a knowledge
library!
-
As events are logged in and documents are checked in and out,
WizdomLive! enables pointers that connect goals and the necessary
information to support those goals.
-
New project team members added to the project have access to every
transaction carried out by the old team members. This ensures smooth handoffs
of responsibilities.
-
WizdomLive! learns! Each succeeding project enriches the
WizdomLive! knowledge database. Thus, each new project team can be
smarter than the last. Knowledge which once walked out the door daily, now
becomes a true corporate asset that can be managed live!

WizdomLive! Enhanced Interface
User Home Area
The user home area displays a number of quick links of things you may need to
do, such as e-mail the team or write an announcement. It also lists recent
files you have viewed for quick access as well as the day's events,
announcements, and current tasks needed to be completed.
Project Plan
New and improved project overview screens allow teams to manage the schedule
and resources all within WizdomLive! or export to MS Project. You can
also import your MS Project plan to WizdomLive! to ensure the entire
team is viewing the most up-to-date version by having it on the web.
Another feature of the project plan is the ability to view info files
associated with a specific task. Each project also contains its own calendar
and discussion board.
Calendar
Keep track of what is going on with each project by using its built-in calendar.
Flag team members as participants of an event to send a reminder to them the
day before it is set to occur. You can also include a location, status, and
priority of each event. Better yet, your user home area calendar will include
all the events of every project where you are on the team along with any
personal events you may wish to include.
Document Management
With the check-in, check-out feature of managing documents, team members will no
longer risk updating or using outdated material. If a document is checked-out,
it can not be edited by anyone else until it is checked back in, ensuring that
no information gets lost during the editing process. In case a document gets
lost after check-out, the toggle in-use can be used to make the document
available for editing again.
WizdomLive!'s document manager also keeps a history of versions for each
document as well as a status of being finished or not. Rolling over a file's
name will give a description if supplied by the person who checked it in.
