A
collaboration tool helps people to
collaborate. The purpose of a collaboration tool is to support a group of two or more individuals to accomplish a common goal or objective they have set themselves. Collaboration tools can be either of non-technological nature such as
paper,
flipchart,
post-it notes or
whiteboard, purely based on computer systems such as
Memex or, which is more common these days, enabled through complex and often web-based
collaborative software like
Wiki or
SharePoint that perfectly integrate in an agile work environment and make us more efficient.
