Evernote is a great organization system because you can organize your notes, documents, photos, and emails all in one place.
As an Evernote user, you have the option of sharing notes and notebooks with others. But for true collaboration with team members that gives you a shared work space, admin controls, and more, you need the Evernote for Business plan.
Your team members can add research notes, to-dos, points for follow-up, web clippings, etc. Members can initiate chat sessions for team discussions. (Work chat allows your team to cut back on email discussions, gets them chatting in real time, and helps to get them focused on the task at hand).
Here are the advantages to using Evernote for team collaboration:
- It’s a tool that is already well known.
- The usage model is well understood.
- You get to take advantage of Evernote’s organization and search features.
Evernote for Business costs $12.50 per user per month. Start by setting up an account under your admin email. Then add a work domain. This allows employees in the same domain to be automatically added to your business account without approval.
It’s a great tool for upfront research.
Evernote isn’t a project management platform. You probably won’t be using it to create assignments, tasks, and schedules (although you can create checklists and reminders). You also won’t be using it to develop code. But it’s great for upfront work.
You can gather requirements, document research, and communicate with team members.
It’s also a great way to keep all project work in one place. You can use Evernote’s search function to find keywords, tags, documents, and emails.
