'Todo esse processo está muito conectado a TI, uma vez que há soluções de tecnologia que permitem a gestão da produtividade, garantindo processos mais eficazes, alinhados e curtos."

Difficulty using two different forms of the comparative ("more", "-er") in the same sentence. Looking for a graceful (and grammatical) solution. Thank you!

@Paulinho Acho que é isso mesmo. Parece-me um caso de elipse em que o termo "mais" está subentendido nos demais elementos.
Paulinho Fonseca Jun 24, 2019:
@Oliveira, entendo da seguinte forma: 'processos mais eficazes, mais alinhados e mais curtos', certo?

processes that are more effective, coordinated, and streamlined

I see “alinhados” here as referring to the *coordination* among the different processes in question.

shorter, better aligned, and more effective processes

Speaking several different options out loud, this one sounded the least clunky to me!

more effectual, dovetailed and streamlined processes

This way 'more' can refer to all three adjectives.

I beleive one of the qualifiers is streamlined - it's either numbers two or three.

Note the differences between effectual, effective, efficient and (med) efficacious.
