Effective Communications for Project Management

This book examines elements of the communications process and describes the role that the Project Management Information System (PMIS) has in helping project managers become better communicators. In addition to describing how personality effects communications, the book details the seven elements of effective communications: applying active and effective listening; preparing the communications and establishing an issues management process; drafting and publishing documentation; conducting meetings; giving effective presentations; developing and deploying a project website; and building a project war room. Each chapter contains examples and checklists that can be adapted to each reader’s environment.
