PM 101: Workshop 7 – Communication Management

Location: In-Person | SBUS 101

Date: Apr 11

Time: 1pm – 3pm

Facilitator:   David Vincenti - Adjunct, Information Management and Business Analytics

Studies have shown that managers spend an average of 80% of their time on communication, whether the forum is verbal discussions or written documents. For project managers, who are constantly juggling multiple activities across multiple people, we suspect the actual percentage of time spent on communication is likely to be higher.  In fact, in terms of frequency of reporting, communication is likely to be the most reported problem areas.  So how do project managers get ahead of the problem and design proper communication mechanisms to minimize confusions? Welcome to Workshop #6.

In this workshop, we will discuss how to plan for good communication including the tools and techniques for planning communication, understanding stakeholders (from Workshop #2), and developing a good communication plan.

As a part of the workshop, we are planning one activity – develop a communication plan.
