Phrases such as “uh-huh,” “OK,” “yes,” or “Go on” are considered forms of active listening and are indeed invitations for the speaker to continue talking. These phrases signal that the listener is engaged and encourages the speaker to proceed with their communication. In the context of project management, effective communication is crucial, and these phrases play a significant role in interactive communication, which involves a two-way exchange of ideas and information12.

References: = The role of these phrases in facilitating communication is supported by the principles outlined in the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) and the Project Management Professional (PMP) certification materials, which emphasize the importance of active listening and effective communication in project management12.
