Work in a collaborative way is what makes us learn from each other everyday and evolve all together as a team.

Don’ t say remote, say collaborative.

All of us meet software that let us work remotely, but we wonder what this tools bring to our team. In Plastic we bet for a collaborative environment through continue communication, centralized work, constant feedback, transparency and team spirit.

Engaging the client.

With collaborative tools, we can share our design deepest secrets with clients. No more secrecy until the “deliverable”! With design tools like Figma we can co-create with clients and they can view in real time how we are building a product. It has changed Plastic design culture into a completely transparent approach.

Managing team work.

When we manage work we use dynamic processes, and we gather the information on collaborative tools while we are actually working. It makes us feel like we are not documenting at all. The information is accesible to all the team members, which help us have a notion of the project and it gives transparency between teams. It also works as a consultation document for future projects or our retrospective meetings.

No more bulls**t tasks.

Collaborative methodologies are translated to no more non profitable tasks, slow validation processes or endless guides. We bet on collaborative tools that save time, save effort, and generate deliverables as a direct result of the process.

Where’s my file?

One of our objectives has always been to improve collaboration between our team. We are using “file-less” tools that allow us to share our work in more efficient ways. Replacing “attached emails” to sharing links and making changes directly on a single document which improves lots of versioning problems we had in the past.

Collaborative tools we use.

Figma, Dropbox Papers, Miro, Proto.io, Github, Invision, Slack, Asana, Harvest, Zoom and Zendesk among others.

Thanks. We are Plastic. #DesignforHumans
