Course Description: Communication management is one of the essential functions that can dramatically affect the outcome of a project. Project managers must create and effectively use a communication plan that performs two principle functions: collect the right data and disseminate appropriate information in a timely manner. To do this effectively, project teams are under an obligation to identify the appropriate audiences, develop appropriate communication media, establish a communication schedule, and manage the flow of information in and out of the project team. This two-day course focuses on the tools and techniques that project teams can use to build an effective communication plan. Students will have the opportunity to experience how to conduct an effective stakeholder assessment, identify audiences of the project, design and implement a communication strategy, and prepare more effective project reports for their stakeholders.
