Slack
These days they say email is dead because messages get lost in the transaction. There are multiple ways to chat to colleagues in different ways. You can create a channel which allows you to organise your team conversations for different projects. You can also create private channels for sensitive information and invite key team members. Also Slack can direct message members which are completely private and secure.
Trello
There are lots of ways to use Trello but pretty much it is best used to project manage. You can collaborate as a team or you can create your own board to accomplish personal tasks. This tool is great for managing your time and knowing exactly where you are at with tasks.
