Why defaulting to public communication, being inclusive in your messaging, and providing all the necessary context can drive your engineering team forward.
Clear communication is key to effective software teams, as context and alignment allow them to deliver the right thing, fast. Without clarity and context, you end up with a group of people lacking direction at best, and total chaos at worst.
This is especially important for remote and hybrid, distributed teams. Being more open, public, and inclusive in the way your team communicates can give engineers greater autonomy to be effective. Creating a culture of knowledge sharing where the correct context is conveyed throughout the entire company helps to head everyone in the same direction, without introducing more distractions and uncertainty.
