The conversation highlights how projects rarely begin in chaos but gradually lose clarity as expectations evolve and communication becomes fragmented. Danielle explains that what many teams interpret as planning issues are often clarity problems rooted in misalignment, unclear ownership, and inconsistent communication. She shares practical ways to identify these issues early and outlines how project managers can act as the central point of alignment, helping teams move forward with confidence even when conditions change.</p> </div>
