You have been asked to be the project manager for an inventory tracking software implementation project that the company will begin using. As the project manager, you want to create a PowerPoint presentation that will present to the project team the importance of effective communication.
- Communication occurs not just among the project team, but also with the vendors, stakeholders, and others.
- When considering project communication, it is important to identify the 5Ws and 1H of project communication. This includes the Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How.
- Creating a communication management plan can help the project manager and the project team to organize and document the different process, types, and expectations of communication for the different people involved in the project.
You decide to use Trello to plan the different elements of your presentation. Trello is a tool for project managers who need a streamlined and visual way to keep projects on track. Trello takes organization to a new level with visual organizations where projects are organized by boards, which have corresponding cards that outline tasks and objectives for each project.
