Collaboration Cafe: Communication in Project Management
Think about all of the stakeholders and colleagues that must be kept up to date on the status of your project. The recipient of your communication may be upstream (higher on the organizational chart), lateral (an equal organizationally), or downstream (i.e. end user) in relation to the project.
A student in a prior CGE course compared communication in project management to the five rights of medication administration,we need to give:
The right person
The right information
(via) the right route
(at) the right time
(in) the right dose
Identify two people, at two different levels (upstream, lateral, downstream) that you need to communicate with for your project and compare/contrast your communication with them based on each of the five rights of communication.
