So, the sites I have decide to include are ones that I use on a regular basis to help me at work when Using JIRA, a project management software. The software allows for easing tracking of tasks during a project and allowing for easy communication between team members. For me it is great because I am on remote work so I don’t work with the rest of my team so I can go to Jira and see what my team has done and what I need to do. As when as what tasks my team are waiting on me to complete so they can continue.  The site also have some video on how to use the software which was very helpful when I first started at my company when I started back in March of this year.

Communicating Effectively

Email:

To me the email comes off as pushy. Jane knows mark has been busy with an all-day meeting but still is like shrugs that off. Jane them mentions that she will miss her deadline if the deadline is missed. She again is just disregarding Marks projects and only cares about her own. Then Jane goes on to state that he needs to send 2 separate emails.

Personal Opinions:

If I were to get this email my first reaction would be anger because of the disrespect of my time and projects. I would be anger that even know Jane knows I am busy she still is demanding that I give her the information to finish her project on time. Even though I might have a project of my own that I am trying to finish.

Voicemail:

Much like the email it comes off as cold as she is disregarding Marks time and his projects. Her tone seems aggravated and short. The emphasis that she needs it comes through as snarky.

Person Opinions:

This like the email would have me angry just the tone in which the voice mail is left is not inviting or welcoming.

Face-to-Face:

This one is better because you can see her body language and facial expressions which, so she is worried and is trying to just get information put out that she need.

Personal Opinions

I mush prefer face to face communication even if it a video chat because you can see the person. By seeing them you can gage the whole picture.

 

Conclusions:

When writing email or sending text message there is a lot that can be lost in translation as you can’t tell tone in a text or email (Ask in Person, n.d.). This loss of detail in communication can lead to mis understanding and confusion. I would say that when you write a text or email that you reread what you wrote just to make sure it doesn’t come off as harsh or demanding. I would suggest reading the email outload to your self to check tone. When leaving voice mail be care of the tone when you are speaking as the listener just has your turn and words for context. IF the topic you are taking about is important to I project I suggest a face-to face meeting or video chat. This way the lister can your tone, body language, and words to get a better video of the whole picture.
