PMPress #5: Team Communication

PMPress #5: Team Communication

Digital Strategy Works founder, Tony Zeoli, talks about team communication. In our daily project management, there can be communication breakdowns that disrupt a project, causing delays and potentially additional costs. Decisions made today need to be thought through and communicated to the entire team, because there are future intangibles that need to be assessed and mitigated against. When team’s fail to communicate, bad things happen. Tony gives an example of a decision point made that has a lasting impact on a project and how to move forward from that decision. Or, whether to go back and do over. This is the challenge of project management, because when you and your team are working virtually, you don’t have the benefit of stopping by a desk for a chat to check in. Watch and let us know what you think.

PMPress Episode 4: Keep Inline Styles Out of the Post Editor

Hosted by Tony Zeoli, founder of Digital Strategy Works. Here is why we need to keep inline style and HTML out of the post editor. It can cause problems when others attempt to edit a page and delete styles and html, which then have be be reset. We should never use the post editor for page layout – that is what page builders are for or we should create custom page templates and call those into our themes and use post body or custom fields to insert content into content blocks. Using inline styles and div blocks also cause issues with future development, because then a common page template cannot be modified. Each page or post layout has to be modified and maintained as similar to others to keep a consistent layout sitewide. It just reintroduces all of the problems we had with inline styles in HTML before CSS was introduced later on.
