Slack helps all your team members get connected and communicated from wherever they're located at. It allows you to DM people you have to coordinate with and also create Channels to add all the people you'd like to be involved in a particular conversation around an event, plan, project, functionality, etc. It will keep all the comments, info, and documents share through those DMs and Channels, so you'll be able to have them all on hand at any moment.
