There are countless tools for task management, notes, whiteboards and coordination. The difficulty rarely lies in using them, but in choosing the right one and introducing it to a team in such a way that it is still being used three weeks later.
In our online tools courses, you get to know widely used tools in practical use. You set up tasks and responsibilities, structure content clearly, connect tools to your existing environment and agree on shared ground rules so that collaboration works in the long term.
In many teams Slack replaces internal email – and without structure it quickly becomes a distraction machine: too many channels, discussions without threads, notifications around the clock. Its value depends almost entirely on how the team uses it.
In our Slack courses you set up collaboration deliberately. You create a clear channel structure, work with threads and mentions instead of calling out to people, use search as a knowledge base, manage notifications and availability and integrate other applications sensibly.
Trello represents tasks as cards on a board, showing at a glance what is coming up, what is in progress and what is done. Its simplicity is both a strength and a weakness: without an agreed structure, the board quickly turns into a confusing collection of notes.
In our Trello courses you build a board that works in everyday use. You design lists along your workflow, work with due dates, assignments, checklists and labels, use filters and views to keep an overview and automate recurring steps.
