Regular and ongoing communication with the customer and developer during the application development itself

Description:
Communication is the foundation of all relationships. If we want to ensure maximum awareness among developers, communication is essential. Regular stand-ups, where completed and ongoing tasks are briefly discussed, should be held several times during the work week. Communication with our user should not be forgotten either. The user can change his mind or just make some changes in the functionality. Communication saves time for all parties involved.
