May be you have came across YamJam and YamChat terms so lets shed some light about those terms.
Yam stands for Yammer which we have discussed in our previous posts:
So what is the difference between YamJam and YamChat?
YamJam is sort of brainstorming session around 30 minutes to 1 hour for topic over Yammer, where the organizer created a group or use a dedicated group and post a question/point for discussion and then attendees share their thoughts in replies.
While YamChat is a Q&A session for subject matter exert or company CEO/CTO/CIO or manager. Questions can be collected a head of the session or can be adhoc if the policy of the session allows
How YamChat and YamJam are organized?
Organizer sends invitations in Yammer group/email campaigns to the needed audience.
Moderator/leader at the start of session writes introduction in the group and then can post the rules for the session.
A single conversation covers an entire YamJam. For each
Q&A on a YamChat, a different conversation gets created.
Participants may use @mention to reply to a specific participant’s post.
For both YamJam and YamChat it is highly recommended to have leaders/moderators to make sure that conversation is not drifting from the purpose and moderators can send private messages to members who are posting irrelevant messages.
