In Italian business communication the imperative can sound abrupt if used with strangers. Adding a polite marker such as “Per favore” or “Le chiediamo di” softens the tone: “Per favore, confronti i piani direttamente.” In informal settings among teammates the short imperative is perfectly acceptable.
