| Publisher Description: According to the Project Management Institute, over 80 percent of a project manager's job is communication--yet most project management books hardly discuss it. Certified project management professional G. Campbell explains how to ensure every component of a project is understood by the people responsible for execution to drive your project to completion and success. Communications Skills for Project Managers does this by focusing on communication skills such as how to: keep those on the project team--as well as upper management--involved and informed; establish a plan for communication; effectively present to stakeholders; compete with other initiatives within the organization; convey reasons for change; and more. Even a project that is brought in on time and on budget can be considered a failure if those outside the project team weren't kept informed about progress and goals. This important guide provides practical advice and strategies for overcoming shifting organizational priorities, constantly evolving expectations, and leadership turnover through the power of clear communication to consistently produce results. |
