Collaborate with your project team on a common enterprise messaging platform such as
Slack or Microsoft Teams using the PPM Collaboration application. Facilitate active and timely
communication about the project among the project's team members, be involved in critical
discussions on your project, and receive real-time updates on the project's status.

By using a project-specific channel on Slack, or a team on Microsoft Teams, decisions taken or
updates made for the project would effectively reach all the team members. The team would have
easy access to its past communication through the chat history and shared project documents
all at one place. By doing so, the project manager and the team members can save the time
spent on emails and other offline communication.
