I have tried to put in a small presentation to highlight the importance of communication giving success to effective project management thereby enable all stakeholders informed on RAID to critical path activities to scope creep. As I was involved in many IT and other PM activities I felt lack of clear communication is causing many projects/programs going into code-red. Your views are always welcome. All views are my personal ones

Introduction
The purpose of the Communications Management Plan is to define the communication requirements for the project and how information will be distributed. The Communications Management Plan defines the following:
· What information will be communicated—to include the level of detail and format
· How the information will be communicated—in meetings, email, telephone, web portal, etc.
· When information will be distributed—the frequency of project communications both formal and informal
· Who is responsible for communicating project information
· Communication requirements for all project stakeholders
· What resources the project allocates for communication
· How any sensitive or confidential information is communicated and who must authorize this
· How changes in communication or the communication process are managed
· The flow of project communications
· Any constraints, internal or external, which affect project communications
· Any standard templates, formats, or documents the project must use for communicating
· An escalation process for resolving any communication-based conflicts or issuesCommunications Management Approach
Approximately 80% of a Project Manager’s time is spent communicating. Think about it – as a Project Manager you are spending most of your time measuring and reporting on the performance of the project, composing and reading emails, conducting meetings, writing the project plan, meeting with team members, overseeing work being performed, meeting with clients over lunch and many more activities related to your projects.
You should give considerable thought to how you want to manage communications on this project. By having a solid communications management approach you’ll find that many project management problems can be avoided. In this section give an overview of your communications management approach.Communications Management Constraints
All projects are subject to limitations and constraints as they must be within scope and adhere to budget, scheduling, and resource requirements. Project planning and documentation are no exception to this rule. There may also be legislative, regulatory, technology, or organizational policy requirements which must be followed as part of communications management. These constraints must be clearly understood and communicated to all stakeholders. While communications management is arguably one of the most important aspects of project management, it must be done in an effective manner and within the constraints of the allocated budget, ...

Project Communication Plan
Purpose
Communication is a key element for every successful project. A project manager is required to identify all the project’s communication needs and their timeline. Project manager use communication plan to reach key stakeholders for the purpose of providing them with direction, information, and any update regarding the project’s status or progress (Muller & Turner, 2017). Communication is crucial in ensuring that stakeholders align their efforts with the goals, requirements, and schedules of the project being implemented (Binder, 2016). Through effective communication, all the key stakeholders can be engage in fruitful discussions which lead to better understanding and decision making.
Communication dominates the real landscape of project management. Project managers need to communicate the project scope, expectations, and objectives to the project team. On the other hand, project sponsors and steering committee require updates on the project progress and budget estimations (Muszynska et al., 2015). Project manager will encourage regular communication with project team members so as to get a glimpse of the issues and challenges they encounter in the course of implementing the project within the given timeline. Thus, a communication plan helps the project manager to provide direction to stakeholders and drive the overall project success (Leach, 2014).
Project Overview
project covered in this paper involves the upgrade of IRTC Manufacturing Enterprise’s legacy billing system. Notably, the current system has been in existence for over ten years now and due to technological advancements, there is need to upgrade the system in order to meet the organizational needs. This major upgrade is geared towards refining the current business processes, enhance efficiency, reduce the cost of operations, as well as improve customer satisfaction. The sheer size and significance of the project to the organization calls for effective planning and execution.
Notably, communication remains at the center of the project implementation (Austin & Pinkleton, 2015). As a project manager, communicating with my team is crucial so as to get all relevant information regarding this key upgrade. Moreover, I will be required to communication regularly with the project supervisors, sponsors, and steering committee in order to give them all the updates regarding issues and status of the project. Notably, there is need for me to develop a detailed communication plan that will guide the communication needs throughout the project (Kerzner, 2017).
Stakeholders Identification
The process of upgrading IRTC’s legacy billing system requires a number of key stakeholders ranging from project sponsors, steering committee, and well as the implementation team. This section will highlight all the stakeholders who will be engaged in IRTC project alongside ...

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.

Collaboration is nothing but Communication
3. Introduction
Success of any project whether it’s big or small is measured from outcomes.
Over a period of time process centric approach gave a way to project centric
approach.
Process centric approach delegated work through-out the life-cycle of the process
thus outcome from one work-center moved into another work-center. Quality Control
persisted and later gave way to Quality Assurance. Success measured is Individual
centric.
As project centric approach made collaboration among various resources to
concentrate on the set goals and defined project outcomes. Success measured as a
group.
In all whether its’s process centric or project centric approach communication is key
to make things clear among all stakeholders from time-to-time thus making way for
earlier prognosis and diagnosis of an identified problem.
4. Project Management
Project Management is synonymous with
various construction activities or even wars
originated long-time back.
Project Management was earlier revolved
around CPM and PERT.
Later one witnessed various in-built models in
grouping individual tasks and identifying Key
Deliverable Milestones.
Even project costing is in-built into the
system making us visualize how project over-
runs impacts the planned budgets.
For any thing to succeed people, process and
technology is key and Project Management is
not an exception too.
Nowadays there are established processes and
practices across domains to ensure all critical
outcomes once identified can be easily
monitored, controlled and implemented.

5. PM – Key Ingredients
Signed contract – again a piece of communication document
SoW – again a piece of communication document describing scope of work for the
project on-hand
Team & establishing roles and responsibilities – again a piece of document on
shared roles and individual team member roles in the project team
Plan and Schedule – who does what, when, how and where again a piece of
communication
Execution – communicating with computers to develop the code and software
product, EPC activities
Reviews – again a forum to understand the risk, issues and progress – a
communication channel
Reporting – again a communication channel to convey progress, risk, issues etc..
Project Closure – a piece of communication to various stakeholders
6. Communication
What is communication?
Way to express the need, feelings and desires in some form
Why is it so important?
Without expression no one understands so it becomes hidden agenda and will die
down over a period of time.
How does it create a success or failure?
A properly articulated expression using any communication medium shall result into
planned outcomes whereas half-cooked or baked expression creates chaos resulting
into confusion and failure of the expressed message or content
Communication levels and types –
Levels include Public, Private, Official, Government and Personal and types include
SMS, e-mail, alerts, hoarding, voice calls, resume, posters, post cards, letters, sign-
post etc..
7. Types of Communication – from PM
perspective
Types of communications as listed in previous slide can even be categorized
broadly as
Verbal – daily stand-up, f2f reviews etc..
Non-Verbal – daily, weekly, monthly dashboard reporting
Visual – Product demo’s, Power point presentation, video chats etc..
Written – e-mail’s, check-list, SoP’s, other contractually signed documents etc.
Electronic – Conference calls, SMS,
8. Communication – Failures from PM perspective
Project and Programs does have a plan and schedule
consuming various resources spread across people,
process and technology and budgets.
Prioritization is key to executing the tasks and /or
planned activities logically grouped to get required
outcome.
Project Monitoring and control in the form of reviews,
team meetings, stakeholders meeting is the common norm
to assess risk and issues and thereby anticipated failures
or those failures happened can be pulled back to
normalcy.
What are common communication failures?
1) No clear updates
2) Hiding data and information at times in reporting
3) Within software not handling exceptions properly
4) Lack of governance thereby missing some of the key
stakeholders
5) Not alerting on Critical Path Activities..
6) No proactive approach
7) No pre-define agenda even for 5 minute stand-up call.
8) Use of mobile phones during conference calls
9) People working on some other topics (using mobile,
laptops and other gadgets) while attending review
meetings
10) Not muting the microphone while participating in
conference calls from desktop/home at times
11) Matrix reporting data not linked enough
12) Not-Ensuring MoM is circulated post meetings
13) Not-Ensuring follow-up on pending issues is addressed
during review meetings
14) Missing what to follow to ensure EHS is followed in
compliance with local as well as global standards.
9. Communication Rectification
Commitment is the main aspect to ensure proper communication flows from inside out and vice versa.
Accepting fault and apologizing is the first step to any kind communication failure
E-mail goof-up – Apologize first then send updated e-mail
Add all contact details in the signature section of the e-mail body
Instead of just listening and nodding the head during team meetings raise any alarms immediately and get
clarity on the issue points
Do not forward internal e-mail chain communication to external customer
Always respond to Customer (internal or external) ASAP
Conduct code reviews/design reviews with all key stakeholders
Invite unbiased customer feedback using online surveys and using focused project/program specific
templates
Publish an escalation matrix and service catalogue to resolve any customer related issues
Publish key team details to all project stakeholders..record changes and publish amended as and when
needed.
Get Customer acceptance on the reporting templates freezed for reporting
While publishing daily, weekly and monthly reports review the data and info to be published and ensure
correctness, consistency and accuracy is maintained during the entire life-cycle
10. Collaboration is nothing but Communication
Success comes only when there is a collaboration between people. Be it in
home, school, office and/or society.
Due to nature of team building, team work defining clear-cut roles and
responsibilities is key to ensure all activities or tasks will be completed as per
the plan.
Reviews have to be planned
Keep the reviews to the schedule time slots with minimum disruption.
Involve supporting staff also in team meetings (once in a week) to get
accountability, responsibility and ownership of their work.
Engage customer on daily basis to ensure project do not absorb scope creep.
Always publish any changes using CCB and using authenticated channels.
