Slack for project management

By Marc Maxmeister

Slack is currently the fastest growing business application. It connects teams together and eliminates the mental friction of constantly switching from one interface or piece of software to another while completing a single task. It integrates thousands of other apps into a single place with alerts, and gives you control over how you work. It can eliminate intra-office emails altogether.This book introduces slack in three parts. First - what is it, and why would you use it? The second part covers how to get the most out of slack for your company. It explains project management ideas and how to create better workflows and improve team cohesion within slack. Assuming you are transitioning a team into slack, this provides strategies to get team "buy-in" and ensure smooth transition. The final section covers trends in technology and how they are rendering other parts of a traditional team's tools obsolete. How are bots and AI going to improve your effectiveness? How can you reclaim more of your work day for thinking about the big picture? It also provides specific case studies and illustration of slack + apps used to solve common office problems. Need to build a virtual HR department? Here's how. Running a consultancy where you manage progress against lots of different projects with separate goals or separate client contracts? Here's a blueprint. Running a nonprofit with offices spanning two continents and need to get people better aligned? Here's what you can do.All that and more. It is short enough to read in a day, because you really have to be getting back to work.
