Our post of yesterday talked about individuals who cause problems because of their communication habits. These six best practices help avoid these habits occurring in your project.
- Clearly document the communication process for your project. This may the second most important document in your process.
- Document the methodology you are using for the project. This will keep team members on track. e.g. Prince2
- Specific the frequency, method and tools for reporting. This will include task assignments. e.g. SharePoint, Email, PowerPoint etc
- Set up a portal to share project documents if one is not available. Ensure that everyone has appropriate access to it.
- Provide telephone numbers, email and IM access to project members for support. If you have a PMO ensure a member is designated to support the project.
- Communicate, Communicate, Communicate. See details here.
