Communications Management
Planning, distributing, and managing project information so stakeholders get what they need.
Communications management is the knowledge area covering how project information is planned, collected, distributed, stored, retrieved, and disposed of. The communications management plan, the primary output of Plan Communications Management, documents who needs what information, in what format, how often, and through which channel; it draws on the stakeholder register, since each stakeholder’s needs shape it. A key exam nuance: managing communications concerns the flow and format of information, while stakeholder engagement concerns attitudes and participation. The n(n-1)/2 formula counts potential communication channels as team size grows.
