1. Based upon the review and the lessons learned you completed
in activities 3B and 3 C, re-write your communication
management plan for project you have just completed including
all the modifications, changes and improvements you have
highlighted.
The goal of Project Communications Management is to ensure timely and
appropriate collection, storage, distribution and generation of project
information. Communication is so important on projects that it is an integral
part of a successful project . Every project should include a communication
management plan - a document that guides projects communications. This
plan should be part of overall project plan. The type of communication will vary
with the needs of the project.
What will your goal be when you communicate and how the information
be provided to them
2. Identify the project management information system you used
during this project and suggest way it could be improved.
A lessons learned report is a vital piece of information to help to improve the
communications in future projects. Every strategy employed by the
communications team throughout to project should be evaluated, reported on
and fed back to project authorities or senior management within your
organisation at the end of the project. When reviewing the strategies, the
whole project should be considered in conjunction with the communications
input.

This is not about repeating the same communication mantra-like over and over
again. It is about pro-actively engaging with people.
The first step is to introduce the project, explaining the context of the project
and the impact that this will have on the organisation. However, having done
that, it is vital that a project manager discusses how the requirements of the
project will impact the individuals that they are with.
This communication needs to be specific to the group that the PM is talking to.
Taking the time to discuss the impacts on, and concerns of, each the multiple
different stakeholders will deal with most of their concerns upfront and should
remove blocks to the project proceeding.
It will also allow the PM to build strong relationships and clear communication
lines with key stakeholders that will be very useful through out the project.
Activity : This is a major activity – your instructor will let you know
whether you will complete it during class or in your own time.
Most projects consist of a broad range of stakeholders all of whom may have
differing interests and influence on the project. As such, it is important for
project teams to determine the communication requirements of these
stakeholders in order to more effectively communicate project information.
There are a number of methods for determining stakeholder communication
requirements; however, it is imperative that they are completely understood in
order to effectively manage their interest, expectations, and influence and
ensure a successful project.
In addition to requiring that you define the data, designing a PMIS also requires
that you specify how to collect the data, who collects it, when they collect it,
and how they enter the data into the system. All these factors can affect the
timeliness and accuracy of the data and, therefore, of your project
performance assessments.
3. Which members or the term did you make responsible for the
following information processes and why?
Membership of the committee will depend on the size and complexity of your
agency. Senior representation is required from all information, data and
records stakeholders.
Security advisor
4. What methods did you use for the validation of data and how
effective were they?
There are essentially two parts to data validation, data screening and data
verification. ·
Data Screening: The first part uses a series of validation routines or
algorithms to screen all the data for suspect (questionable and
erroneous) values. A suspect value deserves scrutiny but is not
necessarily erroneous. For example, an unusually high hourly wind speed
caused by a locally severe thunderstorm may appear on an otherwise
average windy day. The result of this part is a data validation report (a
printout) that lists the suspect values and which validation routine each
value failed. ·
Data Verification: The second part requires a case-by-case decision on
what to do with the suspect values æ retain them as valid, reject them as
invalid, or replace them with redundant, valid values (if available). This
part is where personal judgment by a qualified person familiar with the
monitoring equipment and local meteorology is needed.
Before proceeding to the following sections, you should first understand the
limitations of data validation. There are many possible causes of erroneous
data: faulty or damaged sensors, loose wire connections, broken wires,
damaged mounting hardware, data logger malfunctions, static discharges,
sensor calibration drift, and icing conditions, among others. The goal of data
validation is to detect as many significant errors from as many causes as
possible. Catching all the subtle ones is impossible
• There may be a strict hierarchy in which information can only flow up and
down through one route - for example information to trustees can only be
sent through the chief executive. You must ensure that those elsewhere in
the route who are critical for passing on your message understand your
message, do pass it on to the next stage in the communications route and
pass on the correct message
• You may sit at the centre of a hub of communication networks from which
you can directly communicate to each stakeholder in a targeted way
• You may have the mix of the two where you feed messages into different
chains of communication for those within those chains to then pass your
message along
investigation. For digital continuity, the primary audience will be the Senior
Responsible
Owner (SRO) and whoever the SRO has assigned to be responsible for
completing Stage 2 of the process. If the driver is to perform an impact study
for a potential change, then it may be a change or project manager using this
guidance. Regardless of their role, the person leading the process will likely
have to consult other members of the organisation who may also find it useful
to read this piece to understand the background – for example business
continuity managers, Information Asset Owners, IT professionals and business
analysts.

in term of communication strategy and why?
