TEAM- AND PROJECT ROOMS

Team and project rooms at fraunhofer support the cross-departmental and institutional collaboration. They support members in activities like e.g. coordination of projects and schedules, discussion of ideas and validation of documents or suggestions, network and community-management. Team rooms include a document management function as well as a collaborative calendar, task management, a discussion board and sections for news and announcements. All this content could be shared and synchronized with Outlook. Also Blogs and Wikis could be included. Team rooms are initiated and led by a moderater who could add additional members. Based on Microsoft Sharepoint (Fraunhofer specific implementation).
