Start with the work you need to do
This fictional task-to-tool guide shows how to make the choice clear.
For a quick update, use the team's approved communication channel. For work that needs an owner and a visible next step, use the approved work-tracking tool. For a shared document, use the team's approved file location rather than relying on an old message attachment.
The examples below use generic tool descriptions because Northstar's actual tool assignments and access are not supplied.
