print('Hey team!')
print('We need to have a meeting'!)

If you fail to complete this project
Print "you're fired" else
Print "you get a cookie"

See how insulting that can be?

Don’t “change the scope”

You've drawn up a plan for a project and your developers are working diligently on it. Out of the blue, someone in management decides to make a “scope change”, which will put the project deadline at risk of failure.

If a scope change is unavoidable, your best bet is to first hold an informal meeting with your developers to let them know it's a possibility. And when you have that meeting, know exactly why the change is happening, have a clear idea of ​​the new finished product, document the new scope change, and speak to the developers respectfully.

If you have a meeting and say, “We're changing the scope of the project, we don't know what it's going to look like, and you're going to do it whether you like it or not,” you probably won't like it. how your developers react.

Instead, approach this type of meeting understanding that how you deliver this news (and how specific you bring it to the table) can make or break the project.

Conclusion

Developers are people. They deserve your respect because they have worked tirelessly to provide software that helps your business grow beyond your imagination. It doesn't take much extra work to communicate efficiently with team members. Make the effort and the rewards will be more than satisfactory for everyone involved.
