Common Challenges in This Course
A common mistake is producing a stakeholder communication that's still written like an academic data analysis — dense, jargon-heavy, and hard for a non-specialist audience to act on. Most rubrics specifically reward clarity and audience-appropriateness over technical density. Another frequent issue is choosing a generic communication format without justifying why it fits the specific stakeholder group described in the scenario.
