Advertising Age explains a new study from Anderson Analytics which shows who uses social networks and the differences between Facebook, Linked In, MySpace and Twitter. For more white papers check out Anderson Analytics.

Social Networks in General

People visit social networking sites 5 days per week, checking their accounts 4 times a day
52% of social networkers had friended or become a fan of at least one brand,
64% were neutral or didn’t care about brands on social networks
45% connect only to family and friends and 18% will connect only to people they’ve met in person

Social Networks

Average Twitter user has 28 followers and follows 32 others
43% said they could live without Twitter.
People demographics on Facebook are more likely to be married (40%), white (80%) and retired (6%) than users of the other social networks.
Facebookers have the second-highest average income ($61,000) and an average of 121 connections.
75% say Facebook is their favorite site with 59% saying they’ve increased their usage over the past 6 months.
For MySpace the demographic is more likely to be black (9%) or Hispanic (7%) and single (60%) and students (23%).
Linked In has the highest average income ($89,000) and users joined the network for business or work purposes.
Linked In is more likely to be male – it’s ratio of male to female users is 57% to 43%.

Filed under Social Networking Sites, internet research

Many businesses fear the over use of social networking sites at work so I was interested to see this information at MediaPost which shows that

“In the Workplace Media study, however, Facebook was by far the most popular social property, with 89% members of the site. The runner-up was MySpace (40%), followed by LinkedIn (31%), and Twitter (18%). Of the 18% who reported acting upon a business or product recommendation on social networking sites, the top categories were: entertainment (53%), dining out (50%), groceries (23%), beauty care/cosmetics (21%), apparel (20%), and electronics and pet care (15%). The survey was fielded in May 2009 among 753 American workers.”

Interestingly, the graph shows that the usage is not as major as companies suspect – although I wonder whether honesty might be an issue when it comes to owning up to how much they use the internet at work? I still think that social networking can be used by companies in a positive way. I think that if companies embrace it then it can help control the usage but also provide valuable connections which business thrives upon.

If you’re looking for guidance to help you manage your project with added confidence, then this article will help you.

Below I discuss seven key principles, based upon the PRINCE2 project management framework, designed to improve the likelihood of your project succeeding.

1. Business justification: every project should lead to a worthwhile return on investment. In other words, we need to understand the benefits that a particular project will bring, before committing ourselves to any significant expenditure. During the lifecycle of a project, however, circumstances can change quickly. If at any point it becomes clear that a return on investment is no longer feasible, then the project should be scrapped and no more money wasted.

2. Defined roles and responsibilities: everybody working on the project needs to understand the nature of their involvement: for what is each person responsible, and to whom are they accountable? Without clear roles and responsibilities, nobody will know precisely what he or she is supposed to be doing (and everybody will pass the buck at the first sign of trouble). In such a chaotic environment, the progress of the project will be seriously jeopardised.

3. Manage by exception: project sponsors should avoid getting too bogged down in the day-to-day running of projects and instead allow the project manager to concentrate on this area. Micro-management by a project sponsor is a hindrance, not a help. Project sponsors should set clear boundaries for cost and time, with which the project manager should work. If he/she cannot provide the agreed deliverables within these constraints, concerns must be escalated to the sponsor for a decision.

4. Manage by stages: break the project up into smaller chunks, or stages. Each stage marks a point at which the project sponsor will make key decisions. For example, is the project still worthwhile? Are the risks still acceptable? Dividing a project into stages, and only committing to one stage at a time, is a low risk approach that enables the sponsor to manage by exception.

5. Focus on products: it is vital that clients and customers think carefully about the products, or deliverables, they require, before the project begins. The clearer they can be about their requirements, the more realistic and achievable the plans that can be produced. This makes managing the project much easier and less risky.

6. Learn from experience: don’t risk making the same mistakes on every project; consider why certain aspects went well or badly, then incorporate the lessons learned into your approach to your next project. Humans have an amazing capacity to learn, but when it comes to repeating errors made during previous projects, we all too often fail to learn the lessons.

7. Tailor to suit the environment: whatever project management methodology or framework you favour, it must be tailored to suit the needs of your project. Rather than blindly following a methodology, the project manager must be able to adapt procedures to meet the demands of the work in hand. How you plan on a two-week project is likely to be very different from how you plan on a two-year project

In summary, the project management principles discussed here can be applied universally, irrespective of language, geography or culture. These principles have been proven in practice over many years; adhere to them, rather than struggle on without a coherent strategy, and you will have a greater chance of project success.

Project Closure Phase is the last phase of the Project Life Cycle. The commencement of the Project Closure Phase is determined by the completion of all Project Objectives and acceptance of the end product by the customer.

Project Closure includes the following tasks:

* Release of the resources, both staff and non-staff, and their redistribution and reallocation to other projects, if needed.
* Closure of any financial issues like labour, contract etc.
* Collection and Completion of All Project Records.
* Archiving of All Project Records.
* Documenting the Issues faced in the Project and their resolution. This helps other projects to plan for such type of issues in the Project Initiation Phase itself.
* Recording Lessons Learned and conducting a session with the Project Team on the same. This helps in the productivity improvement of the team and helps identify the dos and donts of the Project.
* Celebrate the Project Completion. Its party time folks!!!

The basic process of the Project Closure Phase involves:

* Administrative Closure. This is the process of preparation of closure documents and process deliverables. This includes the release and redistribution of the Project Resources.
* Development of Project Post Implementation Evaluation Report. It includes
o Project Sign-Off
o Staffing and Skills
o Project Organizational Structure
o Schedule Management
o Cost Management
o Quality Management
o Configuration Management
o Customer Expectations Management
o Lessons Learned

Lessons Learned form an integral part of the Project Closure Phase. It helps answer the following typical question during Project Closure.

* Did the delivered product / solution meet the project requirements and objectives?
* Was the customer satisfied?
* Was Project Schedule Met?
* Was the Project completed within Budgeted Cost?
* Were the risks identified and mitigated?
* What could be done to improve the process?

The outputs from Project Closure Phase provides as a stepping stone to execute the next projects with much more efficiency and control.

Looking for a quick start on how to master time management?

Here are some quick, no-nonsense basics you should know.

Plan ahead

If there’s only one thing you want to learn about time management, it’s to plan ahead. Forget everything and focus only on this.
You should know what needs to be achieved within a given time period. ‘Time Management’ and Goal Setting are corollaries.

Without turning your life into a minute-by-minute pre-planned mechanical existence, it is quite easy (and healthy) to start planning for your future. Start now by consciously outlining your tasks for the next day. It doesn’t have to be anything over-the-top, but a simple bulleted list of the things you have to get done the next day. If they are time-sensitive, note down the approximate time it will take you to get the task done, and the time you have to get it done by. An example could be preparing the agenda for a meeting, or a report you have to finalize.

A time for everything

Once you’ve put down your work-related tasks, add a blank entry to the list. This is your ‘time-out’. Make sure you cater for this during the mini-breaks you get throughout the day (and seem to waste by checking your email 20 times). It’s up to you how to use it. You may want to go to the gym, take your daughter shopping, or just spend time with your wife and kids. You may even want to work on that new book you’ve always wanted to write, but never found the time to (how often have we used that excuse before?). Take this time to add other, personal entries - cooking dinner for your wife, working with your son on his homework, reading the latest Dan Brown novel. It doesn’t matter how trivial or obvious it is, if you want to do it tomorrow, write it down!

Prioritize

Once you’ve got your list ready, give each of the tasks a priority. The meeting at noon with the department heads would have a high priority where as clearing out your old clothes would have a low priority. You don’t have to complicate the process - a simple high-medium-low priority setting system will do wonders for your time management skills. Of course, as you start looking further in the future, some tasks that may seem unimportant now will become important just because they directly impact the success of future tasks. For example, reviewing sales figures might not be your highest priority right now, but if your evaluation report is due in a few days, it’s better to get a head start.
Time Management Basics - where it all begins
Filter your calls and turn your email off. Emails and Phone calls are among the biggest time management wasters. To go further, you can easily find a complete time management lesson plan on the web

Bringing it all together

With practice, you will learn to plan further ahead.
From planning your next day, you can move on to planning for the next few days, then the next week, and hopefully the next month. These are very simple habits that you can easily integrate in your life, and once they’re a part of your life you’ll wonder what you would’ve done without them.

However, having a list is not enough. You have to learn how to use it effectively. Start by sticking it to the side of your monitor, or placing it at a prominent place on your desk (if you’re embarrassed, put it in your drawer with a reminder on your desk (or monitor) to check your daily list). When starting off, aim to get at least half of the tasks on the list crossed out by the end of the day.
Invariably, you’ll find that you’re either over-estimating, or under-estimating the amount of work you can accomplish during the day. Adjust the amount of work, or better yet, read the articles and tips listed below to learn how to get more things done in the same day.

Resource Effectiveness is the key to producing the optimum performance out of a venture. Instead of adding more resources (like labor, machines etc.), the concept emphasizes on better utilization of already employed resources.

Human Resource effectiveness The process provides a visibility to both the operational tasks and the strategic projects such that resources can be allocated to the highest-priority activities. For this, the overall resource effectiveness may be applied to equipment, human resources and infrastructures. Equipment effectiveness deals with the time taken by a piece of equipment to manufacture a sellable good, while human resource effectiveness is concerned with the time that an individual takes to perform value adding activities. However, to gauge the infrastructure effectiveness, a detailed understanding of all the players and systems involved may be required.

For an organization aspiring to achieve resource effectiveness, it must define its most important resources, highlighting the constraint ones. This should be followed by a preparation of a clear definition of all the activities performed by these resources. Finally, studies should be done to analyze the states of the activities and plans should be chalked out to minimize the wastage and duplication of resources utilized.

A high degree of resource effectiveness may push down bottlenecks and should result in a reduced cycle time, minimum maintenance requirements and simplified administration. As a result, a manufacturing environment can increase its capacity and achieve greater margins, driving the organization to become a leader.

The planning, also called master planning is a process of establishing and maintaining the definition of the scope of a project, the way the project will be performed (procedures and tasks), roles and responsibilities and the time and cost estimates.

It involves answering these questions:

* What must be done in the future to reach the project objective?
* How it will be done?
* Who will do it ?
* When it will be done?
