Persistent Project Walls

Unlike physical meeting rooms, virtual meeting rooms can be limitless in their dimensions and their allocation.

Information can be spread over their virtual walls with no compromise to ceiling height, corners, text size.

Everything can be read and written by everyone at the same time, without concern for ladders or over-crowding, and if it needs a rearrangement, huge chunks of it can be replicated and repositioned in moments.

And best of all, it can stay there indefinitely, with no need to take it all down again at the end of the day – its your room, and you can have as many of them as you want, and they can be as big as you want. People can return to the wall at any point in time to see the latest status of the project. The display is persistent – hence the name.

Many current whiteboard tools now have the functionality (and the security) to support persistent project walls. Each has their strengths and weaknesses. We use persistent project walls in ConceptBoard for a number of ongoing projects.

While it is not possible to share these with you, for obvious reasons of security and confidentiality, what we can do is illustrate them for you. We can even set these illustrations up so that you can play with the content and see how easy it is.

So … the following are actually resources that will create a copy for your personal use. You can move things around, change them, add more stuff, and invite people in to do the same thing remotely. Hopefully, in doing this, you will gain a better understanding of what may be possible for your own persistent project walls.

The resources you can play with are:
