📌 A Lesson I Learned in Project Management: The Communication Balance One of the most critical lessons I’ve learned as a project manager is that communication isn’t just about frequency; it’s about calibration. There is such a thing as meeting too much, and there is such a thing as meeting too little. Both extremes lead to underperformance, but for very different reasons. - Meeting Too Much: Keeps the team busy discussing plans without leaving enough time to actually build. This leads to decision fatigue and stalled progress. - Meeting Too Little: Leaves the team insufficiently informed about the plan. When requirements are unclear, team members end up guessing—which often means rebuilding work later. The key takeaway? You need to establish a clear framework for when and what to meet about. This applies not only to formal team meetings but also to informal interactions among team members. Structure creates clarity; clarity drives efficiency. Have you encountered this challenge in your teams? How did you find the right balance? #ProjectManagement #Leadership #TeamCommunication #Productivity #Agile
