Minimal Communication vs Over Communication
Developers should adopt Minimal Communication when working in fast-paced, iterative projects where excessive meetings or documentation can hinder progress, such as in startups or small teams using agile frameworks meets developers should adopt over communication when working in agile teams, on cross-functional projects, or in remote settings to mitigate risks from misaligned expectations and information gaps. Here's our take.
Minimal Communication
Developers should adopt Minimal Communication when working in fast-paced, iterative projects where excessive meetings or documentation can hinder progress, such as in startups or small teams using agile frameworks
Minimal Communication
Nice PickDevelopers should adopt Minimal Communication when working in fast-paced, iterative projects where excessive meetings or documentation can hinder progress, such as in startups or small teams using agile frameworks
Pros
- +It is particularly useful for reducing noise in remote or distributed teams, allowing for clearer focus on coding and problem-solving, and can help prevent information overload that slows down decision-making
- +Related to: agile-methodology, lean-software-development
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Over Communication
Developers should adopt Over Communication when working in agile teams, on cross-functional projects, or in remote settings to mitigate risks from misaligned expectations and information gaps
Pros
- +It is crucial during critical phases like requirements gathering, sprint planning, and incident response, where clear and frequent updates prevent delays and rework
- +Related to: agile-methodology, remote-work
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Minimal Communication if: You want it is particularly useful for reducing noise in remote or distributed teams, allowing for clearer focus on coding and problem-solving, and can help prevent information overload that slows down decision-making and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Over Communication if: You prioritize it is crucial during critical phases like requirements gathering, sprint planning, and incident response, where clear and frequent updates prevent delays and rework over what Minimal Communication offers.
