Project Management — Communication Plan Template and Example

A communication plan is a policy-driven approach to providing stakeholders with information. The plan formally defines who should be given specific information, when that information should be delivered and what communication channels will be used to deliver the information.

An effective communications management plan anticipates what information will need to be communicated to specific audience segments. The plan should also address who has the authority to communicate confidential or sensitive information and how information should be disseminated (email, websites, printed reports, and/or presentations).

Finally, the plan should define what communication channels stakeholders will use to solicit feedback and how communication will be documented and archived.

Automate Your Project Management Process

Thomas Carlyle, a famous historian and author, stated,

“Man is a tool-using animal. Without tools he is nothing, with tools he is all.”

As the world continues to become more complex, it is even more important for people to develop and use tools, especially for managing important projects. Automated project management tools and techniques assist project managers and their teams in carrying out work faster, better and easier.
