563 How to Solve the People Problems with Tech Projects

*** Grace Judson will be a guest on our live show, Wednesday, October 4 at 8 PM Eastern (www.itbusinesspodcast.com/live)

Tech projects can sometimes go off the rails, and more often than not, it is people-related issues that are to blame. Communication, or rather, the lack of it, can be a project's undoing. We discuss the significance of communication in any project, from acknowledging the "curse of knowledge" to setting clear boundaries. 

During our exploration of these predicaments with Grace Judson, we uncover how understanding each individual's response to a project and calling for reinforcements for larger tech endeavors can prevent such derailments.
