Question 3

Correct Answer:

Answered by Examlex AI Copilot

Teams are using collaborative tools like groupware and wikis to coordinate their work rather than relying solely on email for several reasons.

Firstly, collaborative tools allow for real-time editing and updating of documents, which can streamline the coordination of work and ensure that everyone is working from the most current version of a document. This can be more efficient than the back-and-forth of email attachments and revisions.

Additionally, groupware and wikis often provide a centralized location for all team members to access and contribute to, whereas email can lead to fragmented communication and difficulty in keeping track of important information.

Furthermore, collaborative tools often have features such as task management, project tracking, and version control, which can help teams stay organized and on track with their work. These features are not typically available in standard email communication.

Overall, collaborative tools offer a more integrated and efficient way for teams to coordinate their work, making them a preferred choice over traditional email communication for many organizations.
