Join Bonnie Biafore for an in-depth discussion in this video Developing solid communication, part of Project Management Foundations: Small Projects.
Good communication is a big part of making a project a success. It helps work…flow more smoothly and can prevent or reduce problems.…On small projects, you need the right people getting the right information with…a minimum of effort.…First, consider who needs information about your project.…With a small team, you know you'll communicate with the customer, and the…people who do the work.…And think about other people or groups that might need to be in the know.…For example, at the Fitness Studio you'll need to inform both the post office…and clients about the move.…
Second, think about who needs to know what about the project.…The employees need to know when they have to pack their stuff, and how to label…the boxes so they get moved to the right location.…Third, you need to decide how to distribute information to people, how often you…communicate, the method you use to send information, and the format you use.…With the relocation, you might use several distribution methods to communicate…with clients in the weeks leading up to the move.…
