Create places to build a home for projects and tasks

"What I need is ...a place to bounce ideas with others; a place to manage an entire project and see the big picture; a place to centralize and manage my documents, podcasts, and cool graphics; a place to create, edit, and publish content without dealing with coding hassles, a place more powerful than even e-mail. I need a place to do my work and to collaborate with others that is not static and that can grow as my work evolves."

Projects vary in scope so don't buy into one "place" fits all. Lotus Quickr provides a variety of team, personal, and business templates to meet these varying needs and provides a home for your projects and tasks. From the moment Lotus Quickr is up and running, you have an open playground to create places from templates and explore the possibilities.

Value for your team - Tips for an effective team

Create a place of your own, then customize later to add more. Whereas one place may contain multiple components to get you started, you may want to create a place just with a single component. Once you create a place, click Customize to add people or components to the place.
Add podcasts, graphics, demos, and more to your library. For places with libraries, expand your library beyond the traditional document.
Brainstorm with others in a wiki or blog to transform the way you create content. Wikis and blogs are not just a trend; they add immediate business value by providing rapid development avenues for the team.
