@1path.academy: They fail because the wrong people heard the wrong things at the wrong time. The Project Communication Plan is the one document that fixes this — and most Project Managers either skip it entirely or build it after things have already gone wrong. Here's how to do it properly, in 5 steps: **Step 1: Map your stakeholders** — Not everyone needs the same update. Sort them into Tier 1 (sponsors/execs), Tier 2 (core team), and Tier 3 (wider audience). Each tier gets a different type of communication. **Step 2: Define communication needs** — Agree upfront: what's the channel, how often, and in what format? A status report every fortnight for execs. Daily stand-ups for the team. Monthly newsletter for the wider business. Get specific. **Step 3: Assign ownership** — Every single comms item needs a named owner. Use a simple RACI. If nobody owns it, nobody sends it. **Step 4: Schedule and template it** — Build it into your project calendar. A templated status report takes 20 minutes. An ad-hoc one takes all day because you're starting from scratch under pressure. **Step 5: Review and adapt** — Revisit at every phase gate or major milestone. Stakeholders change. Your communication plan should change with them. Build this in week 1 of every project. Not week 4. Not after the first escalation. 💾 Save this post and use it as your checklist on your next project.
