collaborative tools

Shared workspace applications

Collaborative tools are software applications that enable multiple people to work together on shared projects, often remotely.

These include document editors, project management platforms, messaging systems, and video conferencing software: The team uses collaborative tools to coordinate across time zones.

The term emphasizes real-time or asynchronous cooperation rather than individual productivity.
