Did you know that poor communication has a negative impact on the success of a project execution? Poor communication is the reason most of the software projects fail today. Communication is a component of a projects at every stage and once managers understand the objectives of the project, the expected results and the budget restrictions, they need to clearly communicate that information to everyone involved.

You have to determine who you are going to communicate with, when you are going to communicate with, when you are going to communicate with the various people throughout the project, where you are going to be communicating with them.

Communication entails how you are going to communicate. Are you going to be setting up meetings? Are you going to be setting up meetings? Are you going to be doing just emails? How is that going to take place? etc. Software project planning depends on clear communication for goals of them team and roles of its members to be understood. If there is poor communication at the very start of the software projects development, the whole projects can fail.

The project communication plan sets the standards for how and when communication takes place. Effective communication allows you to maintain control of the project and ensure all stakeholders receive the necessary information.

A solid communication plan increases the consistency of how the project is handled. The participants who follow this plan should communicate consistency with another. You also need to ensure that all stakeholders have the same information on the project requirements and changes. If the stakeholders are not aware of the changes, you risk mistakes or delays in the project work. From https://trendpro.co.ke
