Communication in agile projects is often different from communication in non-agile projects.

Agile communication aims to be:

• public (vs private or secret) [public within the entire team, not public as in news media]
  
• early (vs delayed)
• spoken, preferably in person (vs email)
• free from judgment (vs assigning blame)
• osmotic (vs selectively broadcast)
• flat (vs hierarchical)
  

A significant enabler of agile communication is the Supportive Environment pillar (this pillar does not yet exist).
