Re: [CODE4LIB] Online survey on Project Management Software Adoption - Question

[Cary Gordon]

I hear you. This appears to be yet another in a long line of surveys that seem 
to have little potential for actual usefulness.

I'll be at IL 2013, so maybe I will be amazed.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Online survey on Project Management Software Adoption - Question

[Rosalyn Metz]

I'm also curious about this survey.  I was wondering why the actual
techniques (waterfall, agile, etc.) aren't mentioned in the survey --
although maybe folks don't really know about them?

Additionally, I would be interested in the results, unfortunately I won't
be attending the conferences you mentioned.  Is it possible to get a report
back to the list once the survey ends (even just the graphs from survey
monkey would be useful)

Re: [CODE4LIB] Online survey on Project Management Software Adoption - Question

[Kari R Smith]

Are you / can you account for different responses from Libraries?  Is your 
survey about what tools archivists / librarians use or what Libraries (as a 
system) use?  I can imagine rather different results depending on how you're 
planning to munge the data you receive.

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Online survey on Project Management Software Adoption

Dear Colleagues,

 

Please take the survey linked below to help us gather data on how libraries 
manage their many projects. We want to know how libraries manage, keep track of 
progress, and collaborate on projects. Survey results will show a snapshot of 
project management techniques used, project management software strengths and 
weaknesses, and what types of library projects are a good fit for which project 
management software.




Please help us answer these questions by taking an online survey (estimated
<10 minutes to complete). Findings will be reported at the Internet Librarian 
2013 and CARL 2014 conferences, with the potential for future journal 
publications. Your responses will be anonymous, your participation is 
voluntary, and there are no foreseen risks in volunteering for this
study.




To take the survey please click on this link 

 

 

In case you are still on the fence about taking our survey, let us define what 
we mean by project management software and techniques. Project Management is a 
set of techniques used heavily in business, construction, and software 
development to describe and monitor work on large projects that involve 
multiple people over a long period of time. The various techniques help keep 
track of goals, tasks, deadlines, responsible individuals, progress toward 
completion, budget, and many more factors that contribute to project 
success.




Within the library, a project might be implementing a discovery service, 
marketing a program to freshmen, renovating the building, redesigning the 
website, or weeding the humanities section. We want to hear from individuals 
who have contributed to projects in libraries. Please take our survey so we can 
learn from your collective experience.




Thank you for your participation!
