Social software
Type of software Social software, also known as social apps or social platform includes communications and interactive tools that are often based on the Internet. Communication tools typically handle capturing, storing and presenting communication, usually written but increasingly including audio and video as well. Interactive tools handle mediated interactions between a pair or group of users. They focus on establishing and maintaining a connection among users, facilitating the mechanics of conversation and talk.[1] Social software generally refers to software that makes collaborative behaviour, the organisation and moulding of communities, self-expression, social interaction and feedback possible for individuals. Another element of the existing definition of social software is that it allows for the structured mediation of opinion between people, in a centralized or self-regulating manner.

Project management
Practice of leading the work of a team to achieve goals and criteria at a specified time The objective of project management is to produce a complete project which complies with the client's objectives. In many cases, the objective of project management is also to shape or reform the client's brief to feasibly address the client's objectives. Once the client's objectives are established, they should influence all decisions made by other people involved in the project– for example, project managers, designers, contractors and subcontractors. Ill-defined or too tightly prescribed project management objectives are detrimental to the decisionmaking process. PERT and CPM are very similar in their approach but still present some differences. Project management types [edit] Project management methods can be applied to any project. Common among all the project management types is that they focus on three important goals: time, quality, and cost. Approaches of project management Critical path method

Workflow
A workflow management system (WfMS) is a software system for the set-up, performance and monitoring of a defined sequence of tasks, arranged as a workflow.[1] International Standards[edit] There are several international standards-setting bodies in the field of workflow management: Workflow Management Coalition[2]World Wide Web Consortium[3]Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards[4] The underlying theoretical basis of workflow management is the mathematical concept of a Petri net.[5] Each of the workflow models has tasks (nodes) and dependencies between the nodes. Workflows for People[edit] Workflow management systems allow the user to define different workflows for different types of jobs or processes.[6] For example, in a manufacturing setting, a design document might be automatically routed from designer to a technical director to the production engineer.

Social bookmarking
Common features[edit] In a social bookmarking system, users save links to web pages that they want to remember and/or share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, shared only inside certain networks, or another combination of public and private domains. The allowed people can usually view these bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine. Many social bookmarking services provide web feeds for their lists of bookmarks, including lists organized by tags. As these services have matured and grown more popular, they have added extra features such as ratings and comments on bookmarks, the ability to import and export bookmarks from browsers, emailing of bookmarks, web annotation, and groups or other social network features.[4] History[edit] A user page on del.icio.us in May 2004, displaying bookmarks with tags.

Online proofing
Online proofing is the process undertaken by web designers, photographers, marketing agencies and video production companies, among others, to automate the review and approval of work online. Traditionally a process used by photographers, as more work is done online and teams work remotely this method of working allows people to collaboratively work together to speed up the design process and keep an online audit trail. Online proofing has also become widespread in the e-commerce industry. With the growing capabilities of the internet, companies who allow their customers to design and customize a product on their website have adopted the online proofing process as an effective quality assurance method. Online proofing saves time in the purchasing process and improves customer buying experience and raises customer satisfaction.[1] References[edit] See also[edit]
