Scenario:

You have assigned roles and responsibilities to your project team members and now you need to define in your communications management plan how you and your project team will communicate with each other. Although most of your team is local, there are a few key members that are dispersed across several states.

1. What communication skills can be used when working with the various people?
2. Which item should you use to determine the communications needs of your project stakeholders? (Choose the best answer: Stakeholder analysis data; research material; project report deadlines; executive board schedule.)
3. Given the scenario, what would be a good technology for enhancing team member interactions and building relationships throughout the life of the project? (Choose the best answer: Team building event at project kick-off; project team threaded discussion board; use email and databases to collect and store information; high-quality virtual teleconferencing on a semi-weekly or weekly basis.)
4. Which of the following is not a component of the communications management plan? (Choose the best answer: the initiator and receiver of project communications; the Stakeholder Register; the collection and transfer of institutional knowledge; the frequency of each communication.)
5. After integrating the communications management plan into the overall project plan, what would be the next logical step? (Choose the best answer: Determining whether there will be changes to the proposed technology before the project is over; creating a schedule for the production of each type of communication; creating a description of stakeholder communication requirements; distributing the plan to all the stakeholders.)
