What do you consider to be the most essential aspect of project success? The statement of work? Well-documented requirements? An accurate project schedule? A well-managed budget? While these are all critical pieces to the successful project management puzzle, there is one underlying element to each. What is it? Communication. Every one of these is based on good communication. Communication is the most critical aspect of the project, it is the most important job of the project manager, and – while nothing guarantees project success – poor communication almost assuredly guarantees project failure…every time.
From conducting initial customer engagement meetings, to conducting a formal project kickoff meeting, to handling all team meetings and issues, to conducting weekly and adhoc customer communications both formally and informally….project communication skills are still the fundamental building block to efficient and effective information dissemination and, essentially, project success.
