Collaborating remotely with your team is something that involves a lot of name tagging, every time you need someone to be notified quickly in your team app.
So, day in and day out, it’s:
@Caitlin, @Rick, @Ashley, @Frank what do you think about this?
@Caitlin, @Rick, @Ashley, @Frank do you have time to sync today?
@Caitlin, @Rick, @Ashley, @Frank did you have a chance to review my updates?
Does that feel familiar? And even if it takes just a couple of seconds each time, it adds up to minutes and hours of your workdays that you can’t get back.
In Slingshot, we made sure you never had to again.
Enter Groups.
