(2009-01-24) Noded Team Book

Andreas Carlsson and Jaan Orvet wrote Noded, a Self Published book about working in the Network Economy as part of a Noded Team: A group of individuals, often but not necessarily geographically distant, that come together to form temporary or recurring Project teams. Unlike "DistributedTeams" Node teams work for a wide range of clients and any member of a Node team can take the lead to bring in work, manage work and choose their team members. If I weren't on a book-diet, I'd probably buy it, though the "preview" is rather content-free other than Table Of Contents and tiny intro. They list some of the Collaboration Ware they use. (see also Virtual Company)

I wonder if I'd want a Time Sheet system to track how much work each person is putting into a Project? But that smells like measuring inputs rather than outputs... Also note this model seems targeted toward a client-ProJect model, rather than a Product Team.
