Effective communication is essential for the success of construction projects. Poor communication can lead to delays, disputes, misunderstandings and lack of coordination between stakeholders. It is one of the main reasons why construction projects fail to meet their objectives on time and on budget. The project manager's communication skills are especially important as they are responsible for collecting and disseminating relevant information between the project team and stakeholders. Using formal and informal communication methods, as well as appropriate channels and clear language, the project manager can ensure that messages are well understood. This helps integrate scope, schedule and cost, leading to higher quality outcomes and greater chances of project success.

Hi,
Project is a temporary goal that a team or an organization undertakes in order to create a unique product or service. A project different from a day-to-day activity, this is because project(s) are temporary, it will have a start, a goal, a defined objective, and a scope that must be achieved by the defined end time (Project Management Institute, n.d.). On top of the above-mentioned, projects heavily rely on the effective management of triple-constants, time, quality & cost. The key attributes of a project are that,
1. A project will always have a start and end dates
2. Requires resources from multiple teams or areas in an organization to achieve one common goal
3. Involves uncertainty and changes to scope
4. Has budget limitation that impacts utilization of resources and supplies
5. Will always need a stakeholder or a sponsor
In my experience, I learnt that he role of top management / business leadership commitment is key for a project to yield fruitful results as many projects aren’t completed due to lack of leadership support & commitment. Involvement of top management in our project helped us team in getting key decisions and changes related to infrastructure, architecture, network & operations quickly. Leadership involvement during initiation/kick-off ensured that the impacted teams that are on the other side of the organization co-operated more readily than usual. Having the top management involved in the project helped our team in getting additional resources and support when required that otherwise could have resulted in delay or even termination of the project. IT projects are filled with unique challenges in every step, some of them are,
1. Scope change in the middle of the project
2. Delivery delays due to miscommunication of scope between impacted teams (Ramachandran, 2017)
3. Remote stakeholders that make output delivery and decision-making difficult (Ramachandran, 2017)
Absence of pre-defined project management practices that jeopardizes the delivery when blockers appear (Ramachandran, 2017)

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, ...

IRJET- Management of Stakeholder in Infrastructure ProjectsIRJET Journal
1) The document discusses stakeholder management in infrastructure projects. It notes that while stakeholder management is acknowledged as important for project success, existing frameworks focus too much on particular construction stages and fail to consider procurement routes and internal collaboration.
2) A literature review and industry survey were conducted to identify the main factors affecting successful stakeholder management. These include hiring a competent project manager, transparent evaluation of alternatives, effective communication, common goals and objectives, and understanding stakeholder needs and expectations.
3) Successful stakeholder management is key as construction projects involve many stakeholders like clients, contractors, regulators that can impact the project. Management must account for stakeholder influence to deliver projects on time, budget and quality.
This document discusses the importance of clear communication with stakeholders for project success. It argues that creating a dedicated communication unit can help achieve this. Such a unit should focus on tailored, two-way communication using tools like newsletters and surveys to transmit updates and gather feedback from stakeholders. Outsourcing routine production and analysis to a specialized company like BQu can help set up an effective communication process in a cost-effective way.
This document summarizes a chapter about communication and stakeholder relationship management from a project management course. It discusses the role of communication in stakeholder relationship management, defines stakeholders and their relationship to projects, and outlines the processes for effective communication management including planning, monitoring, and controlling communications. The key aspects of stakeholder identification, prioritization, engagement and monitoring are also summarized.
This document discusses changes to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide. It notes that the current edition focuses on delivering outcomes regardless of approach, in contrast to previous editions which focused on inputs, tools/techniques, and outputs. The shift is from a process-based standard to one based on principles. There are now eight project performance domains that represent critical activities for effective delivery. Tailoring allows adaptation of approaches, governance, and processes to suit different environments and work. The guide recognizes that no publication can include all tools and techniques, so it presents commonly used models, methods, and artifacts.
Why projects fail avoiding the classic pitfallsTa Ngoc
This document discusses common reasons why projects fail and how to avoid failures. It identifies six major pitfalls: lack of constituent alignment, inadequate risk management, poor performance measurement, unclear project scope, insufficient communication, and failure to follow a project methodology. To improve success rates, the document recommends clearly defining objectives and goals, proactively managing risks, establishing baselines and metrics to track progress, gaining full agreement on scope, creating detailed communication plans, and strictly adhering to a project management methodology. Automation and project management tools can also help by providing oversight and reporting to catch issues early.
1) The document discusses managing uncertainty in project proposals for engineering outsourcing firms. It identifies four dimensions (technical, financial, social, political) that characterize interactions between engineering service organizations and customers and influence project portfolio management.
2) It analyzes the internal and external "milieu" or actors that influence business processes during the proposal lifecycle. This includes managing relationships and networks to address uncertainties before, during and after a proposal.
3) Managing the milieu and understanding uncertainties stemming from factors like market conditions, technology, people interactions, and customer relationships can help enhance win ratios for proposals and account success.

STUDY THE EFFECT OF RESPONSE REDUCTION FACTOR ON RC FRAMED STRUCTUREIRJET Journal
This study examines the effect of response reduction factors (R factors) on reinforced concrete (RC) framed structures through nonlinear dynamic analysis. Three RC frame models with varying heights (4, 8, and 12 stories) were analyzed in ETABS software under different R factors ranging from 1 to 5. The results showed that displacement increased as the R factor decreased, indicating less linear behavior for lower R factors. Drift also decreased proportionally with increasing R factors from 1 to 5. Shear forces in the frames decreased with higher R factors. In general, R factors of 3 to 5 produced more satisfactory performance with less displacement and drift. The displacement variations between different building heights were consistent at different R factors. This study evaluated how R factors influence

Low power architecture of logic gates using adiabatic techniquesnooriasukmaningtyas
The growing significance of portable systems to limit power consumption in ultra-large-scale-integration chips of very high density, has recently led to rapid and inventive progresses in low-power design. The most effective technique is adiabatic logic circuit design in energy-efficient hardware. This paper presents two adiabatic approaches for the design of low power circuits, modified positive feedback adiabatic logic (modified PFAL) and the other is direct current diode based positive feedback adiabatic logic (DC-DB PFAL). Logic gates are the preliminary components in any digital circuit design. By improving the performance of basic gates, one can improvise the whole system performance. In this paper proposed circuit design of the low power architecture of OR/NOR, AND/NAND, and XOR/XNOR gates are presented using the said approaches and their results are analyzed for powerdissipation, delay, power-delay-product and rise time and compared with the other adiabatic techniques along with the conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) designs reported in the literature. It has been found that the designs with DC-DB PFAL technique outperform with the percentage improvement of 65% for NOR gate and 7% for NAND gate and 34% for XNOR gate over the modified PFAL techniques at 10 MHz respectively.

Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
