Communication

In order to effectively manage a project, the project manager must clearly communicate the right messages at the right times to all team members and stakeholders. While the written project plan includes much of the critical information, a project manager cannot rely on everyone reading this material. Also, different information will need to be delivered at different times throughout the project’s implementation. For example, a team may need to know how work towards milestones is progressing.
