Communication/Team Communication

The quotation that stood out the most was "...do not assume people know what you are thinking. Make it crystal clear--regardless of how many people you are communicating with." (Trends and Issues in Instructional Design, pp 115). One of the most difficult aspects of effective management is not losing a message in translation. I have been in situations where I felt my point or message was clear and understood, only to hear later it was the opposite. It is critical to communicate effectively in order to facilitate productivity with members of a design project.

Most communication will be to assess progress and identify needs within the project. Effective timely communication will lead to a successful project.
