How to Build a Communication Plan

A practical, step-by-step guide to build a communication plan. Communication Plan is the concept behind it — here is how to do it in practice.

For the full concept, see Communication Plan.

Steps

1. Start from the stakeholder register — each stakeholder or group is an audience.
2. Define what information each audience needs and why.
3. Decide frequency and timing (daily, weekly, at milestones) and the channel/format.
4. Assign an owner responsible for each communication.
5. Document it in a matrix, share it, and review it as the project evolves.
