3. How big is your team?

4. How has it worked out so far?

5. Anything we should know about Slack before we use it?
1. On my team we have a few channels for programming, build business... although we mostly just stuck to one channel(more about that later).

2. last year was out first year using it so we didn't have any rules to follow but will this year.

3. Around 30

4. It worked really well for about 10 people. We had trouble getting people to actually read what was being talked about and to get them to respond. For us that did use it it was a wonderful communication tool that we got a lot done on.

5. Your mileage may vary but for my teem just getting people to use it and communicate was a really hard thing to do. but that being said they wouldn't respond to emails or the like. I totally recommend it though.
