Create Forums
A forum is ideal for teams to communicate outside the office, especially when dealing with long distances or many people. Using an online interactive forum, team members can create and participate in discussions, share important ideas, and store knowledge in a centralized location. Unlike emails, forum topics are easily accessible in one place, making it convenient for group projects.
Use-cases
Marketing: The marketing team in an organization should ensure that the public is aware about the launch of a new product or a new feature in a product. An announcement post can be made in the forum to inform the public.
Software development/ IT: When a developer finds a unique way to create a new feature, the developer can share their knowledge through a forum. Other developers can comment on their ideas as well.
Construction: When a big deal project has been completed, this can be noted in a forum post to congratulate everyone who worked for the grand success of that particular project.
