Eleven tools for collaboration

In an August, 2001 article in WebReview, Steve Franklin discusses the eleven best tools for collaborating with colleagues over the web. The list includes:

  • Instant Messaging
  • Chat
  • Whiteboards
  • Email
  • Voice-over-IP
  • Teamware
  • Design tools
  • Shell accounts
  • Revision tracking
  • File comparison
  • Local environment for testing

He suggests that work teams invest some time in analyzing their work flow. Lots of time spent organizing information rather than accomplishing tasks may indicate that there's benefit to be gained by investing in some collaboration tools.
