Despite the growing needs for these tools, little is known about how they are utilized in practice. This paper presents the results of an exploratory study using UpWave, a task management tool, and the ways that it enables team collaboration. The group interviewees utilize UpWave for their collaborationsand report on its features in terms of use, best practices, motivations and rewards for users to encourage their collaboration. This paper concludes that project and task management tools offer new possibilities for collaborations; it also makes suggestions for using such tools in teams. This study's future work will include a mixed-methods approach to gain a greater understanding of the tools' effects in various collaboration settings.  \nCCS Concepts  \n• Human-centered computing➝Collaborative and social computing➝Collaborative and social computing systems and tools  \nKeywords  \nCollaboration; task management tools; project management tools; motivation; best practices; teams.  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nCollaboration is a key component for any activity in communities, such as organizations, where the important ingredient of collaboration is the \"communication or discourse that is purposeful, threaded and reflective\" [12] . This goal can be achieved across different dimensions with regard to time, place and resources. There are many examples of how people collaborate across long distances, in virtual teams [6, 14], with face-to-face teams [22, 29], in various fields, that is, research and development (R&D), design, research, software engineering and more [22, 18, 31] .  \nCollaboration is often viewed as a method for problem solving [8] and shared creation [20] that indicates the presence of a common goal for team members to work together. The team emphasizes sharing responsibilities among the members and contributing their expertise to accomplish the common goal [1] . Particularly for a work setting, collaboration is defined as \"the presence of mutual influence between persons, open and direct communication and conflict resolution, and support for innovation and  \nOpenSym’16, August 17–19, 2016, Berlin, Germany.  \nCopyright 2016 ACM 1-58113-000-0/00/0010 …$15 .00.
