Now let's pretend you've asked yourself the most important question when communicating and sharing your
work.
Who's it for.
You're communicating with people on your team.
So a.k.a. your boss project manager or your teammates.
Now suddenly you should know is that all non-technical problems are communication problems.
And often you'll find these harder to solve than the actual technical problems you see technical problems
and technical challenges.
Unless bounded by the laws of physics have a finite solution.
But if you've ever had experience working with other people you realize communication problems don't.
And so going back to our most important question after asking yourself Who's it for a question you should
follow up with is what do they need to know now.
The reason being is because what your teammates may need to know might be different to what your manager
needs to know and when answering this question for yourself what do they need to know.
Lean on the side of access and write it down for later.
The worst cases you figure out what's not needed.
I've listed out some options here but this could be an endless list.
You could ask yourself what's in the way.
What have you done.
What you're doing next.
Who else could help.
What what's needed.
What's not clear and you'll see this writing it down as a recurring theme in the section because writing
helps to clear up your thinking.
You may have lots of thoughts about what do they need to know but without documenting them down you'll
never have a historical record of where you are right and wrong.
Now let's say we're talking about the project manager the boss or the senior or the lead on a team and
your Project Manager.
AMBER We're going to use Amber as an example.
She has a mission.
Aside from taking care of you and your team she's determined to keep the project running on time.
This one's the time one and on budget and this translates to keeping obstacles out of your way.
So ABA's questions will often come in the form of some kind of what's holding you back.
And now it should go without saying.
Honesty is your best friend here.
Life happens when challenges come up.
When roadblocks come up Amber should know about them.
That's what she's there for.
She's there to help oversee and figure out these challenges.
She's there to connect you with the right people who might be able to help.
So when preparing a report align it to the questions and concerns your project manager boss senior or
lead may have in our case.
Amber if you've asked yourself what does Amber need to know.
Start with those answers.
Write them down.
What's getting in your way how can she help you out now in the next video.
Let's think about how you might communicate with your teammates so that people sitting right next to
you or maybe the people in the group chat.
