Everyone thinks they are good at communication, but... how many times have you been at an event talking to someone you really didn’t want to talk to? Been sold to by someone who didn’t get that you weren’t interested?

These are examples of bad communication and they all have a few things in common, they weren’t efficient and they weren’t effective.

They didn’t go into the communication with the right mindset and the right preparation

Also, sorry to say it, but your own communications probably suck too. But after this workshop you’ll have a leg up on your competition: you’ll know your communication sucks... and you know how to fix it.

Introduction

Now, let's delve into the role communication plays in different aspects of software engineering. It's like the glue that holds everything together. Whether it's managing a project, gathering the requirements for a new software system, or solving a problem that arises along the way, good communication is key. It ensures that everyone is on the same page, which in turn helps in moving the project forward smoothly.

But communication in software engineering isn't just about discussing project plans or solving technical issues. It's also about the exchange between technical and non-technical individuals. This exchange is crucial because a project isn't just about codes and algorithms; it's also about understanding and meeting the needs of those who will use the software. So, a good balance between technical and non-technical communication is vital. It helps in ensuring that the technical aspects of the project align well with the real-world needs it aims to address, contributing significantly to the success of the project.

The repercussions of ineffective communication within a company can be quite severe, both financially and operationally. Let's look at some facts and figures to understand this better.

 has highlighted that a whopping 86% of both employees and executives believe that workplace failures are a result of ineffective communication and collaboration. It's not just about the negative side; there's a positive flip to this too. It's been observed that when teams communicate effectively, they can boost their productivity by up to 25%. This shows that good communication doesn't just prevent problems, but it also actively contributes to better performance and results.

 conducted across 400 companies, each housing 100,000 employees, a staggering average loss of $62.4 million per year was reported due to inadequate communication practices. These figures are a stark reminder of the financial toll poor communication can take on a company.

The financial implications don't just end at operational mishaps. There's a cost tied to misunderstandings among employees too. 

 pointed out that the total estimated cost coming from employee misunderstandings, which includes mistakes made due to miscommunication about company policies, business processes or job functions, reached a significant $37 billion in companies with 100,000 employees. This shows that every misunderstood message or misinformed employee can add up to a hefty price for a company.

So, in a nutshell, effective communication is not just about making the work environment more harmonious; it's a critical factor that can have a substantial impact on a company's bottom line.

Diving into the realm of effective communication, there's a trove of benefits awaiting software engineering teams and the organization as a whole when a culture of open and effective communication is fostered. It's like opening doors to a garden of collaboration, clarity, and creativity. When everyone feels comfortable sharing their ideas and concerns, the team not only becomes a cohesive unit but also a fertile ground for innovative solutions. The ripple effect of this openness travels beyond the team, creating a harmonious atmosphere within the organization, making the workplace a conducive environment for growth and success.

Now, achieving this culture isn't a happenstance but a result of deliberate efforts. One effective avenue is through enhancing the communication skills of engineers. This could be like embarking on an exciting journey of learning and growth. There are various strategies that can be employed to help engineers become adept communicators. Training programs tailored to address the communication needs within the engineering realm can be a game-changer. Workshops provide a hands-on experience and a platform for engineers to learn, practice, and improve their communication skills.

Moreover, in this digital age, leveraging technology to improve communication is a smart move. Various tools and platforms are designed to enhance communication among teams. These digital platforms can help in streamlining communication processes, making information sharing quicker, clearer, and more effective.

So, fostering a culture of effective communication and investing in the communication skills of engineers isn’t just about preventing misunderstandings or conflicts; it's about building stronger teams, nurturing a positive work environment, and driving the organization towards a path of innovation and success. Through well-structured training programs, engaging workshops, and the use of communication-enhancing tools, a new horizon of effective communication can be unveiled, paving the way for heightened collaboration and success in software engineering projects.

Understanding the Importance of Effective Communication

When we talk about engineering projects, the terms 'features' and 'benefits' often come into play. Let's explore what these terms mean and why they are important.

A feature is a factual aspect or characteristic of a product or project. For example, it could be the speed of a computer, the strength of a bridge, or the filtration system of a water purifier. However, a benefit is the positive value or change that a feature brings to someone. For instance, a fast computer can save time, a strong bridge can carry heavy traffic safely, and a good filtration system provides clean drinking water.

Now, the interesting part is that the benefit of a particular feature can change depending on who the person is and what they need or want. Let's consider the water filtration system again. For a health-conscious individual, the benefit might be access to clean, uncontaminated water. For a budget-conscious family, the benefit could be saving money by not needing to buy bottled water. And for a community leader, the benefit might be providing safe drinking water for the whole community, improving overall public health.

It's essential for engineers to understand this difference because when they communicate about their projects, knowing how to talk about benefits in a way that relates to the audience can make a big difference. It's not just about stating the technical facts or features; it's about connecting with what people care about or need.

For example, in a software project, an engineer might develop a feature that enhances data security. For a business owner, the benefit is the peace of mind that their data is safe. For a customer, the benefit is the trust that their personal information is protected. And for a regulatory body, the benefit is compliance with data protection laws.

There's a phenomenon known as the 'curse of knowledge', which refers to a situation where someone finds it difficult to think about a scenario from the perspective of a person less informed or knowledgeable than themselves. In engineering, this curse often manifests when professionals focus on features, the technical details they are so intimately familiar with, rather than the benefits. They might forget that others may not share their technical understanding and, therefore, may not see the value in a feature unless its benefits are clearly articulated.

By distinguishing between features and benefits, and understanding how the benefit may change based on the individual's needs or wants, engineers can communicate more effectively. They can show the value of their projects in a way that resonates with different stakeholders, thereby gaining better support and success for their engineering endeavours.

Effectively communicating the benefits of engineering projects is a skill that can significantly enhance the connection between engineers and various stakeholders such as team members, management, clients, and end-users. Each of these stakeholders has different needs, expectations, and understanding levels, making it crucial for engineers to tailor their communication to resonate with each group.

One of the techniques to achieve this is by first understanding the perspective of the stakeholders. For instance, management might be interested in the cost savings or revenue generation a project can bring, while end-users may be more focused on how it will make their lives easier or solve a particular problem they face. On the other hand, team members might be interested in how a project will challenge them and provide opportunities for learning and growth.

Having a good understanding of what matters to different stakeholders can significantly help in articulating the benefits of a project in a way that is meaningful to them. For example, when communicating with management, focusing on the return on investment (ROI) and aligning the project benefits with the overall business goals can be effective. When talking to end-users, explaining how the project will solve their problems or meet their needs in simple, relatable terms can be more impactful.

Another technique is to use language that is easy to understand, avoiding technical jargon as much as possible, especially when communicating with stakeholders who may not have a technical background. It's also helpful to use visuals, stories, or examples to illustrate the benefits, as these can be more engaging and easier to remember than just facts and figures.

Moreover, being open to questions and feedback, and showing a genuine interest in addressing stakeholders' concerns or suggestions, can also go a long way in building trust and ensuring that the communication is effective and impactful.

In summary, communicating benefits to stakeholders is not just about listing the positive aspects of a project. It's about connecting with stakeholders on a level that they can relate to, understand, and appreciate. By employing these techniques, engineers can foster better relationships with stakeholders and enhance the chances of project acceptance and success.

Group activity where participants are divided into teams to brainstorm and present how they would communicate the benefits of a given feature to various stakeholders.

This module aims to equip participants with a clear understanding of the importance of distinguishing between features and benefits, and how effectively communicating benefits can contribute to project acceptance and success. Through practical examples, discussions, and activities, participants will hone their skills in articulating and communicating the benefits of engineering projects to various stakeholders.

BPR 41 - Resolving Conflict

Resolving conflict is important because it is an inevitability in teams and groups of people working together. Without resolution, conflicts will continue to create an unresolved state of affairs and prevent progress.

As leaders, resolving conflict is essential in order to lead the team effectively and make the best impact through the contributions of others. When there is unresolved conflict, team members may pull in different directions, leading to wasted efforts and reduced productivity.

Conflict, whether healthy or unhealthy, can also lead to resentment and negative emotions that can damage the team dynamic and productivity.

Therefore, it is important to resolve conflict in order to move forward and maintain a productive and cohesive team

Conflict in the workplace and other social settings is a reality. Knowing the difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict is essential to ensure productivity and positive relationships.

Healthy conflict occurs when a group of people have aligned goals and outcomes. Everyone involved knows and agrees on the desired outcome. This is the ideal situation, as it allows for open and honest communication between those involved.

On the other hand, unhealthy conflict arises when there are misaligned goals or outcomes. This typically happens when one person in the team is incentivized to reach a different goal than the other person. It is also often a result of a lack of trust and respect between those involved. Unhealthy conflict is characterized by conversations that are passive-aggressive, as there is no trust or assumption of positive intent.

Overall, it is important to recognize the difference between healthy and unhealthy conflict. Healthy conflict encourages honest communication and can help to achieve collective goals, while unhealthy conflict can hinder progress and lead to negative feelings between those involved.

What are the benefits of Healthy Conflict?

Conflict can be a tricky thing to navigate. We all want to get our point across and have our ideas heard and accepted. But is there a way to have healthy conflict that is beneficial to everyone involved?

The answer is yes. Healthy conflict is characterized by aligned goals, mutual respect, and positive intent. This means that everyone is focused on the same goal, everyone is respectful of each other, and everyone has the best interests of the group in mind.

When healthy conflict is present, ideas win. We don’t have to worry about who is the loudest, most aggressive, or highest paid person in the room. Instead, the best idea wins no matter where it comes from. This creates a more productive environment where the best idea doesn’t necessarily come from the most powerful person.

Healthy conflict is an important part of any successful team. It can help to ensure that the best ideas are heard, discussed, and implemented. It helps to create an environment of respect and open communication where everyone is working towards a common goal.

If you find yourself in a conflict situation, aim to create healthy conflict. Align everyone’s goals, be respectful, and make sure everyone is focused on the best outcome for the group. This will help to ensure that the best ideas win and that everyone’s voices are heard.

How do you know if you’re in a Healthy or an Unhealthy Conflict?

Conflict is an inevitable part of life, but it doesn’t have to be unhealthy. In order to tell the difference between a healthy and an unhealthy conflict, it’s important to focus on two key terms: “safe” and “dialogue.”

Dialogue means that multiple people are talking, not just one person holding court.

When a conversation isn’t Safe, it triggers a fight-or-flight response in those involved. This can manifest in two ways: silence or violence. Silence means withdrawing from the dialogue and not engaging in it. Violence is forcing dialogue, such as interrupting people or repeating the same thing multiple times.

Additionally, the same person may not respond the same way in every circumstance. For example, they may withdraw from dialogue in one conflict, but become aggressive in another.

It’s important to remember that a safe dialogue is key to a healthy conflict. By paying attention to the way people are engaging in dialogue, you can tell if the conflict is healthy or unhealthy.

How to move an Unhealthy Conflict to a Healthy Conflict

When we find ourselves in an unhealthy conflict, it’s important to learn how to move towards a healthy conflict. The PAUSE model is a useful tool to help guide us through the process of moving from an unhealthy to a healthy conflict.

The steps of the PAUSE model include: Prepare, Actively Listen, Understand, Share and then End.

It’s important to remember that this process takes time and effort, but moving from an unhealthy conflict to a healthy one is worth it in the long run for maintaining positive relationships and getting the best results for everyone involved.

Introducing The Healthy Conflict Worksheet

BPR 42 - Resolving Conflict - Worksheet

Conflict is something that we inevitably encounter in our lives, whether it’s at work, with friends, or even with family. And while it’s not always easy to navigate, having the right tools and strategies can make it much easier.

That’s why I created the Healthy Conflict Worksheet. This worksheet is designed to help you prepare for and execute a conflict moving from an unhealthy state to a healthy one. It’s not meant to be used in the moment when you’re having a conflict discussion with someone, although it can be used as a meta-discussion.

The first page of the worksheet is a reminder of the PAUSE method and some boxes to fill in. In the Prepare section, the first step is to acknowledge internally that you are in fact having a conflict. From there, you move on to the mindset and preparation stages, which involve questions similar to those from the Debugging Difficult Conversations course.

In the Courage and Composure section, you need to remember that you need to have the courage to have the conversation, but also stay composed. This is not necessarily the point to discuss the content of the conflict, but rather the conflict itself and how you can move it to a healthy state.

The second page of the worksheet is a reminder of the PAUSE method itself. This includes actively listening to the other person, discussing the conflict, acknowledging and hugging the elephant in the room, understanding their point of view, assuming positive intent, sharing your view without blame, summarizing their points, showing that you understand, giving your points of view, reaffirming the common goals, and agreeing on what you will do to move the conflict to a healthy state.

Having the right tools and strategies to navigate a conflict can make it much easier. With the Healthy Conflict Worksheet, you can prepare for and execute a conflict moving from an unhealthy state to a healthy one.

The Healthy Conflict Worksheet – An employee goes behind your back to your manager

BPR 43 - Resolving Conflict - Worksheet - Example 1

In this example, I’m a manager, and an employee of mine, Jen, has gone to my boss behind my back in an attempt to get a decision I’ve made overridden. This is a clear indication of an unhealthy conflict and so, I want to help Jen understand the situation, and make sure that this doesn’t happen again, at the very least, without my knowledge.

The first step is to acknowledge to myself that this is indeed a conflict. Jen went behind my back to my manager because she’s unhappy about a decision I made, and she didn’t tell me or warn me that she was going to speak to my boss. This is definitely a conflict.

It’s important to resolve this conflict because it makes my job hard if Jen goes behind my back to my boss. My boss might not fully understand the situation, she’s a bit more disconnected than to the shop floor than I am, and she might make promises to Jen with the best of intentions that actually would not be productive for what Jen’s trying to achieve, or for what my boss or I am trying to achieve. Additionally, this could also undermine my relationship with my boss and not teach Jen the value of doing things the right way, involving me, and managing up to me, which would be beneficial for her in her future careers.

To prepare for this conversation, I need to understand what Jen actually said to my boss and understand the frustrations that she was expressing. I also need to empathize with Jen and understand why she felt the need to go around me and go to my boss. Additionally, I need to keep my own emotions in check and make sure I have the courage to have this conversation and move this conflict into a healthy state. I am frustrated that Jen went to my boss instead of me, but I must make sure that it doesn’t bubble too much to the surface.

The Healthy Conflict Worksheet – Disagreement on prioritisation of work order things are done

BPR 44 - Resolving Conflict - Worksheet - Example 2

In this example, I’m in a situation where my project manager, George, and I aggressively disagree on the order in which we should do the tasks in a current project. I’ve acknowledged internally that this is a conflict and that it’s likely an unhealthy one, especially because I’m using phrases such as “George thinks” instead of considering George’s ideas.

To move this conflict from an unhealthy one to a healthy one, I remind myself that George honestly believes his way is the best way to proceed. He wants to build great software and hit the timelines, and he believes his idea is the best way to do so. Even though George may be being aggressive, he is not against me as a person, he’s just against my idea and the emotion is spilling over, making me feel like the conflict is with me as opposed to with my idea.

In preparation for this conversation with George, I remind myself that we’re not here to discuss the merits of our different ideas. We’re here to discuss the conflict itself and it’s important to have this discussion in private. This way, George and I won’t feel like we have to protect and defend our ideas in front of other people, and instead have a more productive discussion about the conflict itself.

Before having the discussion, I will spend a few minutes thinking about why this conflict occurred and why it’s important to resolve it. During the discussion, I will use the techniques from the PAUSE framework, including actively listening to George, discussing the conflict, and understanding his point of view.
