communication management plan (PM)

A communication management plan is a component of a project, program, or asset management. It describes how, when and by whom information is administered and distributed.

The communication plan is a document that details the communication needs and expectations for the project and the project process. This may include specific communication techniques or mobile technologies to keep team members in constant contact. Be it through emails, conference calls or short messaging service.

The communications plan also includes the employees who are responsible for communications technology. Appropriate plans can detail when, how often, and which communication service to use to keep the project team informed.
