Communication Chaos: The Importance of Communication In Project Management

Project managers: Have you ever been overwhelmed or frustrated by the sheer volume of communication you need to address in order to successfully manage a project?

Project team members: Have you ever been frustrated by delayed responses to your information requests? Are you sometimes confused by the information you do receive?

Communication is the grease that makes the gears of a project turn. But gears can slip when there’s too much grease, and grind to a halt when there’s not enough. In this interactive workshop, attendees will take part in a demonstration that’s sure to spark discussions and provide insights into our expectations about communicating on projects.
