Much of a project manager's time is spent communicating, and the PMBOK and CAPM books refer to three communication methods.

In your initial post, respond to the following:

• What does effective project communication mean to you?
• Why are some methods considered formal or informal?
• Discuss challenges that you have encountered while communicating with stakeholders; based on what you have learned, how you would you go about improving communication if you were the project manager?

Support your reasoning with PMI principles.
