Communication is essential for any team, but especially for a Systems Management team that deals with complex and interdependent systems. Systems Management is the process of designing, implementing, monitoring, and optimizing the performance, availability, security, and reliability of systems, such as networks, servers, applications, databases, and storage devices. A Systems Management team needs to communicate effectively with each other, with stakeholders, with users, and with vendors, to ensure that the systems meet the business needs and expectations. However, communication barriers can arise due to various factors, such as different backgrounds, languages, cultures, perspectives, preferences, styles, tools, channels, and environments.

1 Define common goals and expectations

The first step to overcome communication barriers is to define and align the common goals and expectations of the Systems Management team and the stakeholders. This will help to establish a shared vision, purpose, and direction for the team, and to clarify the roles, responsibilities, and expectations of each team member. It will also help to avoid misunderstandings, conflicts, and delays in the Systems Management process. You can use tools such as SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) objectives, RACI (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed) matrix, and SLA (Service Level Agreement) to define and communicate the common goals and expectations clearly and consistently.

This will help to ensure that the messages are understood and interpreted correctly, and that the technical terms and concepts are explained and defined. You can use tools such as plain English, jargon busters, glossaries, diagrams, and examples to use simple and clear language. You should also avoid using ambiguous, vague, or confusing words, acronyms, or abbreviations that might cause confusion or miscommunication.
