What is a Communication Plan?

A Communication Plan (or Communications Plan) describes how you intend to communicate the right messages to the right people at the right time. Within a Communication Plan, the communication goals, stakeholders and strategies, activities, and timeframes are described. A Communication Plan helps you keep everyone informed to communicate a consistent message to your target audience.

When do I use a Communication Plan?

Whenever you have various staff, external suppliers, customers, and stakeholders to communicate with, you should record your communications formally in a Communication Plan. A clear Communications Plan is vital to the success of an organization. It is also critical to the success of projects, as it ensures that all of the staff and stakeholders are kept adequately informed of the progress of a project. The best time to perform Communication Planning is during the start-up phase of a project. This will ensure that your Communication Plan includes the tasks needed to communicate effectively throughout the project life cycle.
