Communication and Project Management
Project Communication Plan
The Communication Plan outlines how project stakeholders will communicate, exchange information,
and stay informed throughout the website development project. It includes the following key elements:
Communication Channels:
- Project management tools (e.g., Monday, Trello, Jira)
- Video conferencing platforms (e.g., Zoom, Google Meet)
- Regular status meetings.
Stakeholder Communication Matrix:
- Defines the stakeholders, their roles, and their communication requirements
- This ensures that relevant information reaches the right people at the right time.
Frequency and Timing:
- Specify the frequency of communication and the timing of regular status updates, progress
reports, and meetings.
- This helps maintain consistency and keeps stakeholders informed about the project's progress.
Escalation Process:
- Establish a clear escalation process to handle critical issues or concerns that cannot be
resolved at the project team level.
- This ensures that any bottlenecks or roadblocks are addressed promptly.
Documentation and Reporting:
- Define the types of documentation and reports that will be shared with stakeholders,
including project status reports, milestone achievements, and change requests.
Project Management Approach:
The Project Management Approach defines the overall methodology and tools that will be used to
manage the website development project. Key elements include:
Project Phases: Define the various phases of the project, such as planning, design,
development, testing, and deployment. This creates a structured roadmap for the project team
to follow.
Task Breakdown and Scheduling: Break down the project tasks into manageable components
and assign them to specific team members. Create a detailed project schedule with clear
timelines and milestones.
Resource Allocation: Allocate resources, including team members and required tools or
technologies, to ensure the project stays on track and within the defined timeline.
Risk Management: Identify potential risks and develop mitigation strategies to proactively
address any challenges that may arise during the project's execution.
Client Collaboration and Feedback
Client collaboration and feedback are essential for a successful website development project. The
proposal should outline the mechanisms through which the client's input will be integrated throughout
the project lifecycle.
Client On boarding and Requirements Gathering: Define the process for understanding the
client's vision, goals, and specific requirements. Conduct thorough discussions, interviews, and
workshops to ensure clarity.
Regular Client Reviews: Schedule regular review sessions with the client to showcase progress,
receive feedback, and validate design choices and functionalities.
Prototype and Wireframes Approval: Seek client approval at key milestones, such as the
approval of wireframes, prototypes, and design concepts, to ensure alignment with the client's
expectations.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Involve the client in user acceptance testing to ensure the
final product meets their expectations and requirements.
Change Management Process
The Change Management Process addresses how changes to the project scope, requirements, or
timelines will be managed and communicated to all stakeholders.
Change Request Procedure: Define a formal process for submitting change requests, including
details such as the reason for the change, potential impact, and approval process.
Change Review Board: Establish a Change Review Board, comprising key project stakeholders,
to evaluate change requests and make informed decisions.
Impact Assessment: Conduct a thorough impact assessment for each change request to
understand how it will affect project scope, timeline, and resources.
Communication of Approved Changes: Clearly communicate approved changes to all relevant
team members and stakeholders to ensure everyone is aware of the updated project
requirements.
