Great Post. Although I cringe every time someone says that Gantt charts do not work. As a project manager I find that gantt charts are very important, even if you are using methods other than waterfall. Most of my projects are planned using the Agile Project Management method, and I still use Gantt Charts.

The promise of social project management comes from acknowledging that projects (particularly large projects) are a social activity. People doing work with people, for other people, with commitments to yet other people. The more people (i.e. larger projects), the more interpersonal interactions, the more social effects inside of the project.

Going and browsing Leisa’s original slides is worthwhile. The focus on Gantt Charts as an example of something that just doesn’t work is interesting. It turns out that there is a mathematical reason that Gantt Charts the way they are done today just don’t work.

This comment is already rather long so I’ve blogged a detailed response on Social Project Management in Large Projects.

Excellent read. Thats what we were focusing on and built up DeskAway. Its got all those simple features of a basic PM tool (like the ones you mentioned above) plus powerful reporting at a very affordable price to small businesses. Enterprise level software was boring and no fun. These new wave of tools brings a consumer-like experience to the small business/enterprise.

I think that we are witnessing evolution of project management brought by Web 2.0 technologies. I’m sure that social project management concept has a potential. In fact, it’s getting more supporters. I’ve found a great blog recently, thanks to Raven Young’s post http://ravenyoung.spaces.live.com/lists/cns!17376F4C11A91E0E!1046 . The blog is called Project Management 2.0 and makes quite an interesting reading http://www.wrike.com/projectmanagement.htm

Gantt Charts can be light, elegant and real. If they reflect emergent nature of your work and have been bottom up planned. You are welcome to try it at wrike.com. Let me know your opinion.
