Thoughts On Team Communication

Awhile back I had some thoughts on communication. If you’ve ever played World of Tanks Blitz you’d know that basically its a team of tanks against another team of tanks. With the pick up, fast paced nature communication is minimal at best (sometimes limited to a single “<<<<<<<<<” or “>>>>>>>>>” indicating which direction to take the offense). I found that teams that could coordinate with minimal communication, play their tank roles (scouts, mediums, heavies, and destroyers), and move fast could achieve massive overwhelming victories. Something similar is probably true in an agile/teamwork environment. Know your stuff, know your role, take opportunities, work together, succeed.
