Workgroup Setup for E-mail, an Intranet, or the World Wide Web

The workgroup communications systems from which you can choose have several requirements in common. To set up basic workgroup communications, at minimum you must do the following:

Select a communications system for the workgroup (e-mail, an intranet, or the World Wide Web).
Set up each workgroup member with the system you select.
Create a resource list for your project.
Add each resource’s workgroup identifier, such as an e-mail address or name, to your project.

The following section describes the basic setup requirements for each of these items, except how to create a resource list. For information about creating a resource list for your project plan, see Chapter 7, "Assembling Your Resources and Specifying Working Times."
