The last element of this task is about considering the communication plan for this engagement. Specifically, considering aspects such as what messages need to be communicated and what the delivery methods will be—email, verbal meetings, or presentations, for example. You also need to determine who to communicate with, when to communicate, and how frequently to communicate. The geographic location, level of detail, and level of formality are all considerations when putting together a communication plan.

It is vital to realize that every stakeholder on your list will not require the same communications and so you should categorize your stakeholders and determine in your stakeholder communication plan who will receive which communications when.
