Project managers can benefit from a powerful web service called wiki. Wiki, which means quick in Hawaiian, is simply a website that allows people to edit its contents. One common wiki application is the free internet encyclopedia, Wikipedia. Unlike traditional static web pages, that can only be read, a wiki can be readily accessed by everyone, everywhere and they can add, edit, delete, append and update content. Project managers can utilize this tool to transform the project office into a live and ubiquitous environment. A project wiki can facilitate the following tasks:

 

*Project Meeting Agendas and Minutes
*Collaboration on Project Documentation
*Solicit and Keep Track of Ideas
*Project Dashboard (Project Vital Signs)
*Calendars
*Project Photo Albums
*To-Do Lists 
*Establish a Project Office Intranet

 '''Project Transformation''' To demonstrate the power of wikis, a project manager can post to the wiki a proposed meeting agenda, inviting direct input from team members, thus saving tedious e-mail messages and phone calls or preliminary meetings. Once the meeting is conducted, proposed minutes are posted for input and comments, almost eliminating the need for a PM meeting scribe. In one case, this resulted in reducing e-mail traffic volume by 75%, and slashed meeting time in half, thanks to group input and collaboration. ''Table 1 shows a comparison between traditional PM emphasis and the one offered by the wiki collaborative environment.''

We should stop viewing projects as merely an opportunity for management authority but rather model them and interact with them as empowered teams in a live and realistic view. The proposed transformation is shown in the following figures:
