Communication Plan

Communications planning: Determining the information and communications needs of the stakeholders.

Information distribution: Making needed information available to project stakeholders in a timely manner.

Performance reporting: Collecting and disseminating performance information, including status reports, progress measurement, and forecasting.

Managing stakeholders: Managing communications to satisfy the needs and expectations of project stakeholders and to resolve issues.

The greatest threat to many projects is a failure to communicate

Communication Plan

• The plan is a simple spreadsheet or word document that provides a sequential list of who will communicate what by when.

• The specific form of the communication is identified: traditional print documents, posters, e-newsletters, email flashes, or social media formats, etc.
