Part of team members working together is the use of software solutions. Here is a quote from Harrin for you to read. For more information read/buy her book. Collaboration Tools Are Designed To Help Manage.
“Collaboration tools are software solutions that are designed to help manage teams and get the job done. They tend to encourage storing all project information, contacts, documents, and discussion in one place, or have the ability to pull in feeds from elsewhere as required. Consequently, the software becomes the main place for project team members to go for updates on tasks and to work with other people. They are designed to encourage project team members to work together, which can bring efficiency benefits.” ~ Elizabeth Harrin
