Communication, in one form or another, is central to every part of the software life cycle; and everyone involved in designing, developing, deploying and maintaining software has a role to play. This facilicated, open discussion will take a look at what communicating effectively looks like to you, what you're doing to encourage and promote effective communication strategies and tactics. We'll also look at how you may measure the effectiveness your communications and how you know when you've been successful.
