A successful business is sort of like a Big Mac in that it relies on a secret sauce to pull all the fixins together. In this case, that "secret sauce" comes in the form of effective, teamwide collaboration and communication.

Teams can take all sorts of approaches to concocting the metaphorical sauce recipe that works best for them. As a manager, maybe you organize bi-weekly check-in meetings, send out teamwide progress emails every morning, organize daily scrums and communications training sessions, or abide by an open-door policy to encourage transparency. And to be sure, all of these approaches can improve collaboration so that you make deadlines and centralize workplace processes. But are they really unlocking your team's true potential for productivity in the most intuitive, convenient sense?

Say hello to monday.com, the team management tool that can help you do just that. The platform was launched in 2014 with the intention of fostering a culture where team members aren't just productive, but feel like they're part of something bigger than their job description. This sense of ownership and empowerment cultivates a productive environment where individuals stay engaged and on top of their work, all while using a product they love.

To see its vision through, monday.com places both teamwide projects and individual duties on a simple (but not simplified) task board that serves as a beautiful, centralized space for managing and streamlining different workflows. Tasks' progress are visualized as colorful columns, which can be tagged to monitor progress and inscribed with notes for additional context. You're also given the option of integrating other productivity services like Dropbox, Slack, Google Calendar, and Trello within monday.com to further streamline your workflow and organize your files. (Custom integrations can be set up, too — just reach out to one of monday.com's certified partners for more information and a quote.)

monday.com's format is unique in that everyone gets the same view, which increases transparency for employees, allows managers to easily distribute resources, and — perhaps most importantly — breaks down silos between different departments. With monday.com, you're not just collaborating on initiatives, but fostering a culture where everyone feels invested in them.

So go ahead — scrap those clunky Excel files, put the whiteboard in storage, and cancel tedious team meetings that no one actually finds useful. Whether you're a team of two freelancers or a global institution of more than 2,000 individuals, tech-savvy or otherwise, you'll be able to see the big picture on monday.com's beautiful, flexible, and scalable dashboard.

By signing up for monday.com, you'll join a community of more than 35,000 paying teams, from startups to Fortune 500 companies, that includes the likes of NBC, WeWork, and Uber. Don't misconstrue those big names for a hefty price tag, though, because you can start using monday.com today for free.
