1. Introduction
The next chapter, chapter 10, covers management of the communications on a project. The flow of information so that it gets to the appropriate stakeholders in a timely manner is one of the crucial aspects of managing a project.
2. Communications Management Processes
There are three project management processes in the Communications Management Knowledge Area. One of them is in the Planning Process Group, one of them is in the Executing Process Group, and the last one is the Monitoring & Controlling Process Group.
The first process, that of Plan Communications Management, creates the Communications Management Plan which is the framework for all of the other processes. The second process, that of Manage Communications, is in the Executing process group and is where the project manager makes sure that the appropriate stakeholders have information that they need to do their project work, to make decisions, or simply to be informed of the results of decisions. The last process, in the Monitoring & Controlling process group, is the process Control Communications. Like any other process in the monitoring & controlling process group, it may require an update to the Project Management Plan, or even require change requests that need to be evaluated in the process Perform Integrated Change Control

Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog
and wanted to say that I have truly enjoyed browsing your
blog posts. After all I’ll be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again very soon!
Thank you for your comment. Since I started this blog back in April of last year, I have usually writing on project management, lean management, or other professional topics, but I have also been doing posts on more personal topics like Toastmasters, courses I’m listening to from the Teaching Company, etc. Since I post an article every day, you will never have to wait long until my next post!
Amazing issues here. I’m very satisfied to see your article. Thanks a lot and I’m having a look forward to contact you.
Will you please drop me a mail?
Thank you for your comment. I took a look at the blog you wrote and it looks like very helpful information, which is also arranged in a very natural and intuitive way. Best of luck with your blog! I will write you an e-mail separately!
At the end you say “The next post will cover the first of these processes, process 10.1 Plan Human Resources Management.” but I believe you mean to say Plan Communications Management. Also the Process number in the table is missing a 1 in front to make it a “10”
