Improving the communication skills of the team?

Question

Work organization

Are there books or materials that describe techniques that define possible methods for programmers to communicate with each other with maximum efficiency, communicate ideas clearly, etc.?

Answer 1

Just don’t throw bricks at me if it’s off topic, but the first step for “pumping communication skills” is a banal corporate party (that is, a joint drink / rest). A lot of people find a common language with each other, they begin to understand who needs to convey ideas completely “chewed” and who catches a word, who is a formalist and requires formalized ideas, and who will finalize / develop everything himself.
And then you can already connect literature and trainings.

Answer 2

Not quite the same, but what exactly is needed for "How to Herd Cats" is the basis of how to negotiate with programmers in general.
Further, from personal experience, I advise you to use a questionnaire-questionnaire to describe ideas. That is, formulate this questionnaire yourself, for your tasks as accurately as possible. And depending on what you want to hear. Clarity will appear.
Here we must take into account that in general, not all people are able to convey clearly.
Questionnaire example:
-What is the essence of your idea? - You can't write like that. That is, it is possible, but on trusted people. This is a very general question. Someone will answer 30 words, and someone 3000.
It is better to write like this:
-Is this a fix / revision / improvement or a fundamentally new one?
-What exactly is the function/algorithm/system of customer interaction being improved/created (list)?
-How do you see the implementation in practice? (new service/function, etc.)
