6. There are many situations in which synchronous
communication will be your best choice:
➔ Discussions of sensitive projects or issues
➔ Providing critical feedback
➔ Conversations with a lot of unknowns(group meeting)
“Synchronous communication is the exchange of
information between two or more people in real-time. It
may be in person but it certainly doesn’t have to be.”
Definition

7. ➢ Requires participants to be available at the same time
➢ Time zone differences can create scheduling challenges
➢ Limited time for individual and thoughtful responses
➢ Technical issues or connectivity problems can disrupt
communication
➢ Immediate feedback and response
➢ Facilitates quick decision-making and problem-solving
➢ Promotes real-time collaboration and brainstorming
➢ Builds a sense of connection and engagement
Advantages

10. Definition
“Asynchronous communication refers to any kind of
communication where there is a delay between when a message
is sent and when the person on the other end receives and
interprets it.”
Asynchronous communication works best when:
➔ An immediate answer isn’t necessary.
➔ Collaboration needs to happen with teammates
across different time.
➔ Rarely scheduled.

11. ➢ Lack of immediate response or feedback
➢ May lead to miscommunication or misunderstandings due to
delays in responses
➢ -Requires individuals to manage and organize their
incoming messages effectively
➢ Can feel less personal or connected compared to real-time
interactions
➢ Flexibility and convenience, as participants can respond at
their own pace
➢ Allows for more thoughtful and reflective responses
➢ Overcomes time zone barriers, participants can
communicate across different time zones
Advantages
Disadvantages

12. Example:
Examples of Asynchronous communication include
email, text messaging, and leaving comments on
documents or platforms.
