Importance of Communication Between Technology and Business

One of the key challenges in the relationship between technology and business is communication. Without effective communication, there is a breakdown in understanding, trust, and alignment. It is crucial for technology and business people to establish regular communication to bridge the gap and establish a common language. This is particularly important in software engineering, where the technical aspects can seem like a black box to non-engineers. By fostering communication and simplifying complex concepts, the two sides can work together more effectively and leverage the full potential of the organization.
