Having a strategy for change management and a really good communication plan is key to have a successful project implementation. Creativity and the appropriate technological tools, offer a great opportunity to the project manager to align sponsors, leaders and users with the project goals.

Among the different tools used at Politecnico GranColombiano we have a twitter account to publish real time news about the project; we put together a blog to convey a historical record and news; and with the students, we produced really simple videos to explain the concept of CloudComputing, and the project goals and rules, in a way that anyone can understand. We also built a new office for the project. It is equipped with colorful walls, pictures, logos, a relaxing room, a wall to visualize completed tasks of the modules, cartoons of the leaders, among others. All this in order to assure that everybody wants to be part of the project team, that they feel proud, and that they have all the tools needed to complete their assigned tasks. As part of the project control/execution we used SharePoint & Project server to keep track of the assigned tasks and to have all the project documents organized.
