While many of the resources out there will proclaim the need for immediate full transparency and constant communications through all channels, the truth is that this approach can sometimes create more trouble than it resolves.

I once created a handy table showing data set sizes and daily rates of data change and, from that table, calculated a relevant size of bandwidth needed.
