Information Distribution

SPM -->>

Information Distribution:-

Project Manager and team must determine how/when required information will be provided to various stakeholders.

Different ways of sharing information:-

1. Face-to-face meetings:-

We can see other people's expressions and body language.

Sometimes the way someone says something can be more expressive than what they say.

Requires arranging schedules and additional costs if travel is involved.

Certain issues and problems, require people to meet face-to-face.

2. Telephone, Electronic mail, and other Wireless devices:-

Although these communication devices aren't as personal as face to face meetings, they certainly make communication possible when people can't be at the same place at same time.

The communication plan should also include electronic means for project team and other stakeholders to communicate.

3. Collaboration Technology:-

A project team could use Internet or web-based technologies to develop an Internet, intranet or extranet application.

In summary, the sharing of information includes support for communication, collaboration and sharing of knowledge among stakeholders.
