Today i got a note that Comindwork released some new cool feature called emolog. Did you ever wondered why for your employee it is more interesting to spend more time on Twitter and Facebook instead of doing his work? Well the answer is simple - because when the work starts to be boring, not social, without interaction with other people, the motivation to work falls down
That is where Comindwork have thought about this cool new feature that will add emtions. "Emolog" here stands for the abbreviation of the "emotion" and "log". I completely agree that emotions is very important for the team and for the project itself and i believe Comindwork has taken a really great approach, i love the feature, so head and the emolog for yourself.

As I have promised in one of my previous posts, here are the other 15 project management acronyms that you might find useful:
* PM (Project Manager, or Project Management)
* CT (Cycle Time) - the amount of time
* BAC (Budget At Completion) - all budgets allocated for the project
* EAC (Estimate At Completion) - actual cost of project work and completed and the work left to complete the project
* FP (Fixed Price) - when you have a signed contract that you’ll deliver the project in time, in budget etc. The client does not pay for “over budget”, project is completely contractors’ responsibility.
* JIT (Just In Time) - no comments :)
* CE (Cost Estimating) - expected costs of a project task
* VAC (Variance At Completion) - if your BAC-EAC gives a negative value, it means you are over budget.
* MPS (Multi Project Schedule) - scheduling technique that ensures the right resource allocations.
* PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) - scheduling technique that determines the duration of a project.
* QA (Quality Assurance) - actions necessary to make sure that the product meets its requirements. Of course there is much then that to quality assurance :), you can expect a separate post on this soon.
* QC (Quality Control) - controlling results throughout the project life cycle, that project deliverables would meet the agreed standards
* RAM (Responsibility Assignment Matrix) - ensures that all activities are assigned to at least on project member (with some level of responsibility)
* SME (Subject Matter expert) - project member is an expert in some part of the project (like planning, or requirements, or charter etc.).

I've stumbled on this video on youtube, very interesting, i am sure that you know the speaker, and if you don't her name is Mary Popendieck, the co-author of the book "Lean Software Development"
From Google Tech Talks. It is a long video but well worthwhile to watch it.
Everyone will agree me today Microsoft Office is the most popular document and spreadsheet editing program for PCs running on Windows OS, and even for Mac OS users. But with a new release of OpenOffice.org - the open source suite for business applications, the things are looking much better for casual user who is trying to avoid Microsoft dominating his whole PC. It is cross platform, it is free, it has all the stuff you need, compatibility with MS Office 2007. Even more, with OpenOffice you are getting not only a wordprocessor, presentation and spreadsheet program, 
Of course some people might be frustrated by the lack of templates in OpenOffice and yet this suite is great and i hope that with new improvements and releases it will gain more share in the market, thus will have the ability to make this useful open source suite even better.
