Project management 2
Introduction
Effective communication and methodology play a vital role in the success of any project. The
constant communication with vendors, stakeholders and clients helps to avoid
misunderstanding and misdirection while executing the project. In this report, the importance
of communication is mentioned in the first part to ensure effective communication in project
management. In the second part of the report, three methodologies are analysed to complete
the task without any problems and misunderstandings. A successful project needs effective
communication and understanding of methodology by team and stakeholders.
Part A
Communication and the process
The process of exchanging information and understanding from one to the other by speaking,
writing and body language is called communication. Communication involves a sender, a
receiver, a message, and a medium. The exchange of information can be affected by several
things. These may include medium used, emotion, culture and even the location. The
communication not only involves verbal method but it also involves documentation,
accountability, and approval (Castells, 2013).
Importance of communication in project
Effective management of any project does not only require the best tool and methodology,
but also effective communication between the team and stakeholders. In project management,
communication is the key factor that defines improvement, issues, and corrections. While
managing a project, it is important to ensure a continuous flow of communication without
interruption and involvement of all the participants in it for the success of the project. The
trip to Uganda can reach its objective by understanding the importance of flow of
communication from the top-down and bottom-up structure of the project. The methods that

can be used in project management are; verbal, it is the direct mode of communication that
involves a speaker and at least one listener. Non-verbal, it is the type of communication that
may include the exchange of information through a written form or body language. In the
process of managing a project, several modes of communication are used with different
mediums such as e-mail, whats-app, and messenger for written communication (Hill &
McKenzie, 2011).
Communication applied to the project
In the project of a trip to Uganda for 30 students, both verbal and non-verbal mode of
communication is needed to assure the exchange of information and to avoid any
misunderstandings. There are a number of students and stakeholders involved in this project.
In order to unitedly work for the execution of the trip and to achieve the objective of the
project can be done by using e-mails to ensure everyone receives the message. It can be used
in the top-down flow of communication by structure of the project. Verbal method and
applications such as messengers and what’s-app can be used for bottom-up flow of
communication in by structure of the project. Communicating with the local citizen of
Uganda may encourage them to join the academy and it will help the students to learn new
cultures and lifestyle. Effective communication can be done by involving students as well as
citizens of Uganda to improve better understanding and knowledge (Cliffs notes, 2020).
Part B
Methodology
The methodology is a system of processes and methods used to complete any activity or
research. It is a structured combination of methods, processes, practices, and procedures
(Master of project academy, 2016). It outlines the ways and strategies in which any
action or research is to be undertaken. The type of method to be used depends on the
