As per a report by The Project Management Institute, "Ineffective communications is the primary contributor to project failure one third of the time, and had a negative impact on project success more than half the time”. So, you can well imagine how critical it is for a team to interact effectively.

In this article, I will explain in detail what are the advantages of using the tool when you are running a team -
An online collaboration tool takes this pain away from your work life. You don’t have to stop your activities in between or wait others to finish theirs just to ask something. Basically, you can converse with your team even while working.
