There are various levels that have to be communicated:

In the end what's important is that you know what to do, and how to do it. If you don't know it, it can has two reasons: it's a hard problem and needs research, or you're not clear about some conditions, design questions or APIs. In the first case you likely just need to sit down and work on the problem, in the latter you need to ask your boss or cow-orker.

So what needs be communicated is "all you need to know".

There are various books out there that cover software project management. If my meager answer is not enough for you, you might read one of those books (though I can't recommend one in particular; but I'm sure some other monks can).
