Communication Plan

A document that sets out which communication records must be created and kept during the project, the channels and techniques used to share key information with business stakeholders, and who is accountable for each communication activity.

Key Points

  • Specifies required communication artifacts (e.g., reports, logs, meeting minutes) and how they are maintained.
  • Details channels and formats (email, dashboards, meetings) along with timing and frequency.
  • Assigns roles and responsibilities for sending, receiving, approving, and escalating communications.
  • Tailors messages to stakeholder needs and is updated as the project context changes.

Example

On a mobile app project, the Communication Plan states that sprint reviews occur every two weeks via video call for all key stakeholders, daily progress is visible on a Jira dashboard, weekly status reports are emailed by the project manager every Friday, urgent production issues are announced in the engineering Slack channel within 1 hour, and the product owner maintains a decision log in Confluence.

Advanced Project Management — Measuring Project Performance

Move beyond guesswork and status reporting. This course helps you measure real progress, spot problems early, and make confident decisions using proven project performance techniques. If you manage complex projects and want clearer visibility and control, this course is built for you.

This is not abstract theory. You’ll work step by step through Earned Value Management (EVM), learning how cost, schedule, and scope come together to show true performance. You’ll build a solid foundation in EVM concepts, understand why formulas work, and learn how performance data actually supports leadership decisions.

You’ll master Work Breakdown Structures (WBS), control accounts, and budget baselines, then apply core EVM metrics like EAC, TCPI, and variance analysis. Through a detailed real-world example, you’ll forecast outcomes, analyze trends, and understand contingencies and management reserves with confidence.

Learn how experienced project managers monitor performance, communicate results clearly, and take corrective action before projects slip. With practical exercises and hands-on analysis, you’ll be ready to apply EVM immediately. Enroll now and start managing performance with clarity and control.
