General Advice on Using Online Collaboration Tools

1. Use each tool for its defined purpose

In the following chapter, you can read exactly how the Amanitas team has defined the purpose of each collaboration tool. To avoid being overwhelmed by many tools, a new one is only added if it has a clear purpose that can be differentiated from the already existing tools.

Summary of our tools and their purposes:

• Slack - All internal work related discussions
• Trello - Management of tasks and discussions directly related to these tasks. Each circle has its own trello board.
• Google Drive - File Storage
• Telegram - informal discussions (non-work related)

2. 'Ping' relevant people

Across all tools we are using, you can use the 'ping' to get the attention of individuals that you would like to see your message. You can do that by adding an @ before the user name of the person, which will send them a notification.

Example: @fran will send a notification to Francesca Pick.

3. Manage your notifications!

Look for the settings in each tool where you can mute notifications.
