We use a variety of tools to manage collaboration, but the key few are these:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/basecamp.com\/\">Basecamp<\/a>\u00a0is our overall team and project management system. Basecamp is where major updates are posted, ongoing discussions shared, and goals are set.\u00a0<strong>It is the de facto hub for all things Autotroph.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/slack.com\/\">Slack<\/a>&nbsp;is our real-time chat system for day-to-day communication. Nothing in Slack is considered permanent, and thus nothing important should go in Slack. Anything that should be recorded goes to Basecamp. Also, many of our video \/ audio meetings are held using Slack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/\">Github<\/a>&nbsp;is where all code lives. It is the version control and issue tracking system for code projects, including web sites, Blender add-ons, and yes, even this handbook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/helpscout.com\/\">Help Scout<\/a>&nbsp;is our customer support tool, enabling us to use email and in-app messaging tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dropbox.com\/\">Dropbox<\/a>&nbsp;is our file-sharing and syncing service, for which we have a team account. All content production and design files are hosted through Dropbox, ensuring the entire team can access them at any time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Email<\/span>\u00a0While not used as frequently as above, it&#8217;s expected to check ideally once a day for edge case notifications and conversations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/CGCookie\/handbook\/blob\/master\/how-we-work.md#autonomously\"><\/a>Autonomously<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A priority for all Autotroph employees, is a strong-sense of self-drive and ability to work autonomously. We don&#8217;t hire people managers, we hire\u00a0<em>team members<\/em>. We&#8217;re not interested in any kind of micro-management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We strive to enable everyone to work effectively, and happily, driven largely by their own initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/CGCookie\/handbook\/blob\/master\/how-we-work.md#asynchronously\"><\/a>Asynchronously<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being spread across the world, in many different time-zones, all of our work is done asyncrounously. We don&#8217;t have specified office hours, even though the majority of the team overlaps by at least six hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t have specified daily office hours, though in general, we work Monday through Thursday during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this in mind&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/3.basecamp.com\/3093149\/projects\">Basecamp<\/a>&nbsp;is the default place for all discussions, pitches, and updates.
