Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah sits in boardroom talks
Speaking profit, risk, and ROI
While down the hall Tom maps the walks
Of data flows and APIs
Same project, different worlds collide
When messages don't match the mind

[Chorus]
Know your audience, shift your voice
Executive, technical choice
User stories, compliance stance
Four layers in your communication dance
From ambiguity to clarity
Adapt your message, set it free

[Verse 2]
Executive needs the bottom line
What's broken, fixed, what will it cost
No jargon here, keep it refined
Show the value, what is gained and lost
One paragraph to make the case
Problem, solution, time and space

[Chorus]
Know your audience, shift your voice
Executive, technical choice
User stories, compliance stance
Four layers in your communication dance
From ambiguity to clarity
Adapt your message, set it free

[Verse 3]
Technical minds need architecture
Constraints and interfaces defined
Data flowing, every structure
Acceptance criteria aligned
Precise language, terms are clear
Decisions that the code holds dear

[Verse 4]
Users live in scenarios
Pain points solved with simple flow
Workflows they can picture, know
Plain language helps their understanding grow
Visual stories they can see
How the system sets them free

[Bridge]
Compliance maps to policy
Regulatory requirements true
Evidence and traceability
Controls that see the project through
Four layers, one clear message sent
Each audience gets what they meant

[Chorus]
Know your audience, shift your voice
Executive, technical choice
User stories, compliance stance
Four layers in your communication dance
From ambiguity to clarity
Adapt your message, set it free

[Outro]
Same truth, four different ways
Clarity cutting through the haze
Audience first, then choose your words
Let understanding bridge the worlds
