What is the best way to manage a group/team of 2-4 people?

If I am working on a group project or living with roommates, what is the best way to make sure that we are all on the same page with what we have to do?

Trello

Organize anything, together

Mike CoutermarshCode @ Product Hunt · Written
For small groups I like to put everything into Trello. Can't beat it in terms of simplicity - but is also highly configurable and extensible. I think the perfect small team "stack" is Trello + Slack. Integrate the two and have trello changes post into slack. Keeps everyone up to speed with what's happening on the project and where things are at. "Official" work/conversation goes into Trello. Then side convo's/chat in Slack.

Super easy to use, pretty, mobile-optimized, and simple to add people to tasks and communicate.

Asana

The task management tool, completely redesigned

Kyle HessFintech Product Manager · Written
I still think Asana is the best tool for everything from "quick jot down a couple tasks" to planning a big project. Free up to 15 folks.

Plus the extension for chrome. Asana is awesome. https://chrome.google.com/websto...

Any.do 3.0

Organize all aspects of your life with Any.do

Some people use messaging apps like Slack or Facebook Messenger, but it lacks structure for tasks. Check out Any.do. It supports shared task lists, which could be used for paying rent, buying groceries, dinner dates, etc.

My experience has been strong communication and collaboration are essential for project success. I would use Slack for async communication anywhere on any device and Kyber to keep the tasks in order.

Slack

Be less busy. Real-time messaging, archiving & search.

Slack is our go-to alongside Trello for collaborating as a small team on software projects.

I think of it like a private Facebook - you can have groups, post publicly, private message, events, to-do list post doc, pics etc. Cross platform, although mobile features are limited.
