!Wikis at Work: Success Factors and Challenges for Sustainability of Enterprise Wikis
__Track__: Industry Track
__Authors__: Jonathan Grudin and Erika Poole
__Abstract__
We examined wiki use in a range of enterprise settings. We found many thriving wikis, but they were a minority of the thousands for which we obtained data. Even an actively used wiki can disappoint some important stakeholders. Careful stakeholder analysis and education may be crucial to successful wiki deployment. We identify a range of success factors, sources of wiki abandonment, and approaches to addressing the challenges. Some of our observations may extend to other social media.
