Uuuufff.... Miscommunication is the origin of a lot of problems on projects and probably the most underrated danger.

For my experience, the only way to is with more communication. Don't be afraid to ask two time the same thing in different terms and explain in plain words what do you expect. Same way, be open to listening people that is asking or explaining you his position, challenge, etc.

It's very important to have people in our team with that capacity to talk and listening to in order to work together. Nowadays, we work in teams with different profiles, culture, challenge and sometimes we have different meanings for the same words.

We have a lot of communication tools like Jira, slacks, mail, etc. but we needs to understand the other part.
