Learn how to streamline projects using wiki tools.

Wiki tools can streamline distribution of project information by acting as a hub for
different types of project information, such as plans, requirements, meeting minutes,
schedules, and prototypes.

By having a single hub for project information, you can:

Easily navigate and search for all project information

Â

Reduce confusion by eliminating duplicate versions of project information

Â

Create manageable project personnel lists

Â

Enable parallel effort with multiple people working on different projects or the

Â

same project
Create high-level and low-level views

Â

Reuse and archive project information

Â

Keep all interested parties informed of project updates

Â

Project Wiki Blueprint

Each project should have its own wiki. By having a dedicated wiki for the project,
you can easily change who can access the project wiki.

You can point to pages within the project wiki from other wikis, such as departmental
wikis. If your department doesn’t have confidential information in its wiki and
people who require access to project information are allowed to view department
wiki content, you can include project information in the department wiki instead of
creating a wiki for it.

However, if you decide to change project access permissions later on, you can’t
separate project wiki pages from the rest of the department wiki pages.
