The tools DO matter 🛠️
Each week, I deconstruct ideas on product, growth, and building the future.
Hello friends,
In today’s edition of Elliott Poppel’s Newsletter, we explore why the tools you and your teams use DO matter.
The tools DO matter 🛠️
Productivity
Tools like Jira, Linear, and Asana provide structure for managing projects and tasks efficiently
Workflow automation saves time by removing manual steps
Centralized systems reduce context switching from multiple tools
Collaboration
Tools like Figma, Miro, and Notion enable real-time collaboration
Version control and comments keep everyone aligned
Remote team members can contribute as easily as co-located team members
Knowledge
Wikis and documentation tools retain institutional knowledge
Search makes it easy to find information later
Onboarding new team members is faster with documented processes
Insights
Tools like June + Clay make it easy to access metrics at a glance
Reporting tools make data accessible and actionable
Data-driven decisions prevent relying solely on intuition
Simplification
