Introduction
Project communication is the exchange of project-specific information with the emphasis on creating
understanding between the sender and the receiver.
Effective communication is one of the most important factors contributing to the success of a project.
The project team must provide timely and accurate information to all stakeholders.
Members of the project team prepare information in a variety of ways to meet the needs of project
stakeholders. Team members also receive feedback from these stakeholders.
Project communication includes general communication between team members but is more
encompassing.
Project Communication Management is the knowledge area that employs the processes required to
ensure timely and appropriate generation, collection, distribution, storage, retrieval and ultimate
disposition of project information.
Project Communication is the responsibility of everyone on the project team. The project manager,
however, is responsible to develop the Project Communication Management Plan with the input from
the task managers and other project partners.
Communication Objective
The purpose of the Communications Management Plan is to define the communication requirements for
the project and how information will be distributed.
This Communications Management Plan sets the communications framework for the any project. It will
serve as a guide for communications throughout the life of the project and will be updated as
communication needs change.
This plan identifies and defines the roles of persons involved in this project. A project team directory is
included to provide contact information for all stakeholders directly involved in the Tylink project. The
project manager is responsible to monitor and manage the communications as part of work package 10
– Management of project activities, and it is under the responsibility of Bob Ogolla.
Approximately 70% of a Project Manager’s time is spent on communication. Project Management Team
are spending most of time on measuring and reporting on the performance of the project, composing
and reading emails, conducting meetings, writing the project plan, meeting with team members,
overseeing work being performed, meeting with partners and many more activities related to the
project. By having a solid communications management approach many project management problems
can be avoided.
