Managing Nonprofit Technology Projects
Posted by Michael Stein, Senior Internet Strategist on April 29, 2008
Aspiration and Idealware are hosting their second Nonprofit Technology Project Management event in Oakland, California, on May 20 to 21, 2008. It will examine the tools and best practices that help nonprofits achieve successful technology solutions—whether websites, packaged software implementations or custom applications. Interactive sessions and demos will allow participants to compare processes, tools, successes, and lessons learned. They’ll discuss areas such as team collaboration, project planning, software selection, migration, and project roll-out, and map out the software tools—from project management packages to collaborative communication to issue tracking and more—that support successful technology projects.
Aspiration’s approach to facilitating practitioner knowledge-sharing, combined with Idealware’s experience in providing tool assessment frameworks and research-based information will ensure an informal, collaborative, and information-rich event.
Michael is a writer and nonprofit management consultant who works at the intersection of technology, marketing and fundraising. He is the author of three books and numerous articles about nonprofits and technology, including the 1997 groundbreaking book Fundraising on the Internet: Recruiting and Renewing Donors Online.
