Your practice team won’t be left behind. Team tools like Trello and Slack aren’t only for the tech savvy kids in the startup world. You too can use Trello to keep track of to-do lists, follow ups and priorities at team level where all can collaborate to get tasks done. Slack is a fast and effective way to communicate and share documents within your team and have ideas and instructions (and occasional banter) on record to always refer back to.
