Communication in Project Management

ABSTRACT In these rapid times of extensive consumerism and competition, organizations are forced to deliver their product more effectively and efficiently in order to meet the growing requirements. Amongst all other required plans and actions, there lies project management, playing an essential role in successful business development, product design, construction, and even at everyday life of an individual. There are numerous types of projects with different project management techniques and strategies, but the backbone is the communication. In fact, more than half of the projects result in being unsuccessful, and one of the main causes of failure is poor or insufficient communication. A project can have well-defined goals, structure, timeline and stakeholders, but it all might just remain in paper if there is no communication plan between them. Communication is one of the biggest issues in the activities that organizations face today, and project management is no exception. Therefore, this article examines different methodologies behind the successful communication management strategy.
