The platform Dropbox was used for exchanging documents and files. The cloud-based file storage was divided into a file hierarchy to improve the usability.

In order to manage the project planning, the project management tool Trello was used to distribute individual project tasks to the responsible persons. Thus, deadlines could be set and adhered to.

During the two days, the group has assembled in short meetings to discuss the current status of each group member as well as the further procedure. Due to that, misunderstandings were avoided and everyone had the same knowledge base.
