Collaborating online

I’ve pulled together tools I think will help us in communicating and collaborating to keep the Art Parade on track for a glorious debut :) Below I describe my thought process for choosing these tools and how I think they might help us.

Needs

This is my best guess at the kinds of problems we’re trying to solve when it comes to collaboration and communication. I’ve tried to find low-cost options, and all the tools selected so far have a free tier I think is useful

Keep track of all the tasks that need to be completed for the parade to be a success

Easy to understand what needs to get done

Easy to understand who’s to doing what

Have discussions somewhere that can be structured and that won’t overwhelm inboxes

Give project updates

Request help

Make decisions and communicate them

Get feedback

Share documents / resources with relevant stakeholders

List these some place that lives outside of emails

Easily update the list

Tool proposals

⁠

Coda.io⁠

(this site) - the project management hub that we can point people to so they can find their way to the other project management pieces. Also the docs/resources repository

Trello - task management. Pretty easy and intuitive UI, and we can easily invite any number of people to use it

Discord - free chat server. Kinda like slack. Where we can have somewhat structured discussions outside email, where history is preserved so that people who aren’t on email chains can see what’s been discussed

Want to print your doc?
This is not the way.

Try clicking the ⋯ next to your doc name or using a keyboard shortcut (

CtrlP

) instead.
