Project Management: Developing A Communication Plan

Developing a Communication Plan in Project Management

Every organisation is reliant on strong and consistent communication. In a project management capacity, it’s important to remember that this is a field focused on the achievement of goals by way of collaborative efforts. Whatever the business wishes to achieve, it can only happen if everyone is on the same page and working toward the same outcomes. Which in turn is only possible with flawlessly communication standards at all levels. Contrary to popular belief, quality communication isn’t something that happens by accident. Quite the opposite; it must be planned, monitored and managed effectively at all stages of the project.

This professional tutorial has been designed for current and prospective project managers alike. Study the five primary components of communication, alongside a variety of related communication essentials. Learn how to deal with problem team members proactively, communication with executives/sponsors and generally optimise communications for the benefit of the wider project.
