Project Management Process – Phase 3 – Implementing – Information Distribution
Project Management Process – Phase 3 – Implementing – Information Distribution (#18 in the Hut Project Management Process)
By John Filicetti
Description
Information distribution involves making needed information available to project stakeholders in a timely manner and requires the project manager and team members to perform the following five tasks:
- Review and implement the communications management plan
- Conduct project meetings as needed to keep people informed
- Communicate all relevant project information informally and formally as needed through the project manager, the project focal point
- Identify and communicate barriers to project execution
- Attempt to respond to special requests for information from key stakeholders
Project team members are responsible for communicating effectively with one another as the project requires and forwarding all relevant project information to the project manager for disposition and broader distribution. Team meetings, e-mail, networked databases, enterprise document management systems, project management software, and the organization’s intranet can all be used to facilitate easy, effective, and timely distribution and recording of project information.
Steps
- Follow Communications Plan
- Provide timely information distribution to stakeholders
- Post all documents and updates on the collaborative workspace.
- Report project status to stakeholders
- Solicit feedback about adequacy of communications
