Sample Project Communications Plan Template
May 10, 2010It’s rare that an IT project is completed successfully (on time and within budget) without good communications among all the stakeholders. That’s why it’s so important to make sure your project team develops a communication plan so that lack of communication does not derail your goals. Use this project communications planning template to identify the stakeholders and audience you need to communicate with, the method of the communication, the frequency and the individuals responsible for executing the plan.
To help you understand how this template works, we’ve provided some samples. To maintain this readability, make sure that the information can fit across a single sheet of paper (either vertically or horizontally) or can be displayed in a single window.
