REVIEW OF COMMUNICATION PLAN
2
Introduction:
Execution of project is a complex process, which needs proper integration of various aspects
of a project, which include project initiation, project planning, project execution and closure of
project [1]. In project planning, planning for proper communication is an important part to consider.
When communication in project is not proper, it affects coordination between project teams, project
manager and project stakeholders.
Assessment of the current project communication plan:
In order to ensure effective project performance, communication with stakeholders are
important. However, it requires a detailed plan to manage communication with various project
stakeholders [2]. Now it is simply not possible and effective too, to communicate with all
stakeholders in the same instance as it not only makes the communication process complex but also
often affects the aim of communication that is to deliver the correct message at the correct time to
the correct stakeholders. Now in almost every project, it does not require communicating with all of
the identified project stakeholders as their level of involvement, interest in the projects is different,
and each has their own purpose of communication [3]. While some stakeholders only need to be
informed about project progress, while some stakeholders are required to provide feedback based on
the information communicated to them. Hence, stakeholders’ prioritization is required to define
explicitly which stakeholders to be communicated first and what should be the frequency for that
communication [4]. Now, these two features are needed to be evaluated for an effective and feasible
communication plan that is possible to implement in a project [5]. It is important to note that a
project communication plan might seem effective theoretically, but it might not be suitable in
project execution.
