Chapter 10: Project Communications Management Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition

Project Communications Management Processes  Communications planning: determining the information and communications needs of the stakeholders  Information distribution: making needed information available to project stakeholders in a timely manner  Performance reporting: collecting performance information, including status reports, progress measurement, and forecasting  Managing stakeholders: managing communications to satisfy the needs and expectations of project stakeholders and to resolve issues 2 Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright 2007

Information Distribution  Getting the right information to the right people at the right time and in a useful format is just as important as developing the information in the first place  Important considerations include:  Using technology to enhance information distribution  Formal and informal methods for distributing information  Give Examples…. 4 Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright 2007

Distributing Information in an Effective and Timely Manner  Don’t bury crucial information  Don’t be afraid to report bad information  Oral communication via meetings and informal talks helps bring important information—good and bad—out into the open 5 Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright 2007

Importance of Face-to-Face Communication  Research says that in a face-to-face interaction:  58 percent of communication is through body language  35 percent of communication is through how the words are said  7 percent of communication is through the content or words that are spoken  Pay attention to more than just the actual words someone is saying  A person’s tone of voice and body language say a lot about how he or she really feels 6 Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright 2007

Encouraging More Face-to-Face Interactions  Short, frequent meetings are often very effective in IT projects  Stand-up meetings force people to focus on what they really need to communicate  Some companies have policies preventing the use of between certain hours or even entire days of the week 7 Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright 2007

Determining the Number of Communications Channels  As the number of people involved increases, the complexity of communications increases because there are more communications channels or pathways through which people can communicate  Number of communications channels = n(n-1) 2 where n is the number of people involved 9 Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright 2007

Performance Reporting  Performance reporting keeps stakeholders informed about how resources are being used to achieve project objectives  Status reports describe where the project stands at a specific point in time  Progress reports describe what the project team has accomplished during a certain period of time  Forecasts predict future project status and progress based on past information and trends 11 Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright 2007

Managing Stakeholders  Project managers must understand and work with various stakeholders  Need to advise a way to identify and resolve issues  Two important tools include:  Expectations management matrix  Issue log 12 Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright 2007

Lessons Learned Reports  The project manager and project team members should each prepare a lessons-learned report  A reflective statement that documents important things an individual learned from working on the project  The project manager often combines information from all of the lessons-learned reports into a project summary report 18 Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright 2007

Project Archives It is also important to organize and prepare project archives Project archives are a complete set of organized project records that provide an accurate history of the project These archives can provide valuable information for future projects as well Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright

Project Web Sites  Many project teams create a project Web site to store important product documents and other information  Can create the site using various types of software, such as enterprise project management software 20 Information Technology Project Management, Fifth Edition, Copyright 2007
