Over the years, to be clear in the way you communicate with the co-workers and hold small meetings to discuss and resolve any communication breakdowns has helped me solve these problems.

Me ha sido util! Es mucho de lo que aplicamos en nuestro equipo. A veces es mejor hacer un stop, y hacer un checkpoint con todo el equipo para reportar status y reordenar.

When communication hits the brakes in a critical phase, it's time to over-communicate, strategically. Start by ditching the "I thought they knew" assumptions with tools that make everything transparent, like Slack channels or project dashboards. Pair that with bite-sized daily stand-ups to squash roadblocks before they snowball. And don't skip the paper trail, document decisions so no one's stuck playing the "he said, she said" game. Clear, consistent communication isn't just nice, it's non-negotiable.

Managing critical phases in a project is never easy, but as engineers, we are equipped to find multiple solutions to a single problem. Communication breakdowns often pose a significant risk to project success. However, with the right tools, software, and a well-aligned team, these gaps can be effectively managed. A strong team ensures that every member understands the project thoroughly and takes ownership during challenges. By fostering responsibility and collaboration, even critical issues can be resolved seamlessly, paving the way for project success.
