Communication is important when you are working with another person, but planning every element well before it happens can destroy characterization. The difference between saying "I'd like to see what he does when X happens, so let's do that" and saying "X will happen, and then he will do this" is monumental. There should be balance between what one knows beforehand about a character and what one feels that character will do when faced with a situation that the character's creator did not already plan out ahead of time.
