Working effectively as a team on projects can be challenging. Collaborating on files and documents without duplication, error, and chaos presents an even bigger challenge. While traditional collaboration tools such as e-mail and desktop files are useful, these methods sometimes fall short when you need to collaborate on materials in a fast-paced environment.

A team Web site is one of the best collaboration tools there is, and you can easily create one by using Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services 2.0. With a SharePoint site, you can create a single place to share and manage team information such as calendars, tasks, documents, and lists. You can manage document reviews and document ownership status with accuracy, as well as keep teams on the same page with alerts, discussion boards, surveys, announcements, and more.

The following tools and information show how creating a team Web site with SharePoint Services can empower you to capture and share ideas, information, communication, and documents.
