Goals achieved through collaborative techniques:

  • Communication (Voice, e-mail, text)
  • Publishing/feedback/info exchange - blog, exchange different from publish because it solicits feedback and build network of related information
  • building community - normal linked to other goal, focused on shared interest or affiliation
  • Managing knowledge - collection, retrieval, management of shared community knowledge - doc management system, wikis
  • history and tracking - logging events of interest (normally combined with other goals)
  • Joint contribution to work product - collaborative writing, industry standard development
