Week 7 final project

Running head: MEETING AGENDA 1

MEETING AGENDA 2

The Communication plan is a driven policy approach which provides information to stakeholders (Potter, 2008). The plan defines who should be given information accurately, the time that information should be delivered, and which means will be used to provide such information. There are crucial elements of why a communication plan is essential in the construction of a coffee house.

      The Communication plan sets standards for how and when the communication will take place; the project manager must set the tone of all correspondence that concerns the project. This will allow the project manager to control and maintain the project and to ensure all stakeholders will receive necessary information in time. It helps in building trust among stakeholders and builds and maintains the relationship in a project.

     Idea sharing and innovation in the project help a lot because stakeholders come from different backgrounds and have different levels of experiences in construction projects. This helps in creating new ideas, innovations, and applying expertise (Wysocki, 2004). It is also crucial in improvement of management of the project team and helping them in the articulation of a vision and intent of the project, helping to raise ideas, and to find potential solutions faced by the construction team.

    Communication planning helps in building transparency among the stakeholders and strengthening the project relationship. It delivers positive results to every project team with high levels of project schedule when the team talks and discuss more challenging issues. It creates confidence and feedback loops to the staffs on how they are performing and how they can do to improve to the next level (Hamilton, 2001).  Communication plan is essential because everyone wants to build trust, good relationship transparency, and deliver positive results in the construction project like a coffee shop.
