Communications Management
In the article “Lessons Learned from Managing the Design of the ‘Water Cube’ National Swimming Centre for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games,” there were many stakeholders involved in this massive project. Lessons learned ranged from project design to effective communication. Managing communications for a large, complex project such as this requires careful planning and ongoing assessment of the effectiveness of the communication.
A Communication Management Plan is a written document that provides details on the communications requirements and expectations that are needed for a project from start to finish. Communications requirements should be developed jointly with project stakeholders and documented in the communications plan. The plan should also include communication methods and technology and any special considerations for communicating with a virtual, multi-cultural team.
