Talks that Builds: Exploring Communication factors for the Success of Emerging Professional in Product Teams

This paper recognizes that most organizational communication study focuses on established professionals aged above 27 with more than five years of experience. In contrast, this study examines product teams with younger emerging professionals aged 18-27 and explores which factors influence their success. While some established factors still apply, others become less relevant, and new ones such as curiosity, locational proximity, documentation, access to resources were identified in the study. Overall, this study fills a gap in the literature on how these newer factors shape team productivity and project outcomes based on the success rate of the product the team developed.
