Which two options are reasons why effective communications is key to success? (Choose two.)

Clear and timely communication ensures that all stakeholders understand objectives, progress, and expectations, leading to smoother collaboration, reduced misunderstandings, and more efficient decision-making. This fosters a cohesive environment for project success.

While communication is vital in negotiation, effective communication helps in general risk mitigation, but the phrasing 'intrinsic risks within negotiation' is too narrow and specific compared to the broader impacts.

While effective communication can amplify strengths by making them known, this option is less direct than facilitating stakeholder interaction or mitigating weaknesses; strengths are impactful even without explicit communication, but communication enhances their reach.

By communicating proactively and transparently about challenges or weaknesses, an organization can manage expectations, align efforts to address those weaknesses, and potentially gain support or understanding from stakeholders, thereby lessening their negative impact.
