File Management
GOOGLE DRIVE | where the source of truth lives
We use Google Drive to house our internal files. These files have been loosely organized against the ATKO client-facing website. Below is a high-level filemap of the Google Drive.
Task Management
JIRA | track work across teams
Jira is a widely used project management and issue tracking tool developed by Atlassian. It helps our team to plan, track, and manage work efficiently. With features like task assignment, workflow automation, and real-time collaboration, Jira enables us to streamline our processes, improve productivity, and deliver projects more effectively.
Communication
SLACK | COMMUNICATE with the team
Slack is where the ATKCO team communicates. It is integrated with tools we currently use like Trello and Google Drive making it easier to share files and socialize new ideas.

Git / Github
where code lives
As we begin prototyping the Atkco Learning assessment, it’s necessary to house code in such a way that the team can work collaboratively. Git, is a program that handles versions of your code. Github is where we store that code so that our developers can have a master file for the prototypes being currently developed.
