I’ve been making my way through The Agile Comms Handbook from Giles Turnbull.
And I dig it.
A theme that’s stuck with me has been: communicate as fast as the work moves.
It’s less about speed than it is about building habits within our teams around the what and when we communicate.
Without deliberate practice, I think teams default to secrecy; only sharing when the work is ready.
It takes organisational guts to communicate the work in progress, the first guess, and the best-answer-we-have-right-now version.
It requires deliberate effort to be open with the ideas that have chirp in them, but may not be ready to leave the nest yet.
But when we do, when we post, when we share, when we’re open, when we realise it’s not that bad, magic can happen.
