A small setup that works
A few rooms and a clear place for each kind of message.
Announcements
Finished news, posted rarely, so people read it.
One daily room
The default place for day-to-day questions.
A project channel when a project is real
Name it for the work and close it when the work ends.
Direct messages
Quicker than a private channel for a two-person conversation.
Files in the right thread
The contract in the project channel and a draft in a direct message.
Search
Even a team of six forgets what was said last Thursday.
How to set it up this afternoon
Invite the whole team and start with today's conversation.
1. Create the two standing channels
Announcements and the daily room.
2. Invite the whole team
On a small team, most channels work best when everyone can see them.
3. Pin both
They stay easy to reach from the sidebar.
4. Move today's conversation
Start with the one happening over text or email right now.
Start with the rooms you already use
A team channel, a project channel, and a private channel when a smaller group needs one.
Add a channel when a topic has a name
Start with the rooms people already use and add another when a subject needs its own thread.
A private channel for a smaller group
Use one for leadership or a client, and keep shared project work in a team channel.
Write the rule in one message
Say where announcements and questions go, then pin that message in the team room.
Small team FAQ
How few rooms a small team can start with.
Two: announcements and a daily room. Add a project channel when a topic starts crowding the daily room. See how to organize team channels.
Use one for a group that is smaller than the whole team. For two people, a direct message works well. See direct messages for work.
Yes for the written conversation: channels, direct messages, files, search, pins, and mentions. Teams that need huddles and a large app directory can read the Slack alternative page.
Invite them to the channel they should see, so their access stays on that one channel.
Attach them to the message where they are discussed. See share files in chat.
