Work Breakdown Structure
HR Plan
Our company has an amazing connection with the best
contractor that will help us in this project. Also, our company

this kind of projects, the project teams consist of suppliers,
designers, engineers, laborers, a financial analyst, a project
manager assistant and a project manager. Luckily for me, our
teams are highly motivated because they love to watch Food

Communication Plan
The communication plan for remodeling kitchen project
will guide the communication throughout the project life cycle
and will be updated depending on the need. The project manager
is tasked with the responsibility of ensuring that there is
effective communication on the project. In addition, the project
manager should ensure that communication activities are within
the limitations and constraints of the approved budget, resource
allocations and schedule. Another important role of the project
manager is to identify the key stakeholders in the project and
their communication expectations. Therefore, communication to
the stakeholders must take into consideration the
communication preferences and the preferred channels. In
general, all stakeholders, including sponsors, clients and the
project team, have different communication needs. In this
project, the project team, under the leadership of the project
manager, will select the communication technologies and
methods depending on the organizational policies, stakeholder
communication expectations and the availability of the methods
or technologies.
