Keeping a keen eye on all aspects of the project management process is necessary, but out of them the most critical aspect of project management is effective communication. Why is it so critical?

In October 2003 my life of Scrum started, albeit not with Scrum. My life of Scrum actually started with eXtreme Programming which we then wrapped in Scrum.
