The greatest threat to many projects is a failure to communicate

Communication Plan The plan is a simple spreadsheet or word document that provides a sequential list of who will communicate what by when. The specific form of the communication is identified: traditional print documents, posters, e-newsletters, flashes, or social media formats, etc. 10 GSA Public Buildings Service
