Communicating progress and plan of action for a software project is important to coordinate other aspects of the project. Lack of transparency can cost time and money. Using architectural diagrams in combination with color codes can effectively demonstrate the development of each part of the system. This approach helps ensure that business people and technical people are synchronised and can see the level of progress being made. The diagram serves as a useful communication tool, especially in a distributed team. By providing transparency, it enables coordination of marketing, hiring, and other project-related activities.
