Create a simple communication management plan. Your plan should follow the process for planning communication management, as referred to in Figure 3.1 and 3.3 of the textbook, and in the section beginning with Communication and the Project Plan (page 51 to 57) in the eBook, Project Management: A Common-Sense Guide to the PMBOK Program, Part Two – Plan and Execution. Consider the following questions:
What will I need to communicate (project progress, other)?
To whom will I need to communicate (stakeholders, contacts)?
When will I need to communicate (timing, frequency)?
Where will I communicate (location of the sender, receivers)?
How will I communicate (media)?
Why am I communicating (analyze all reports both planned and ad hoc to ensure rationale for communication effort is sound)?
How do my planned communications close any gaps between project objectives and stakeholder expectations? How would such gaps be evaluated and fed back into the project communications cycle?
