Assignment Task: Develop Communication & Resource Plan
Overview:
In this assignment, you will produce two documents: a project communication plan and the Human Resource Plan that includes RAM (Resource Assignment Matrix).
Instructions:
For the communication plan, may use the template posted in the unit or you can use your template as long as you obtain an approval from your instructor.
Project Communication Plan Elements:
During the planning phase of your project, you need to create a high-level Communication Management Plan that defines the general communication requirements for your project. Although there are some standard items to include in your plans, such as Project Kick-Off, Review, Status, and Team Meetings, it's important to spend time gathering input from all stakeholder groups to ensure the plan is comprehensive. That said, it's also important to note that changes may need to be made to the plan as the project moves forward.
This plan should include:
- The plan's purpose and approach
- Communication goals and objectives
- Communication roles
- Communication tools and methods
- High-level project communication messages
Human Resource Plan Elements:
When Planning Human Resource Management, the first thing is to identify all the project roles and responsibilities (RAM). Documenting the reporting relationships and the staffing management plan are keys to the planning process. Project roles are roles taken up by individuals or groups within or outside of the project itself.
