A successful project manager lays out the communication requirements and how information is shared through the team before the start of a project. This means what details of the project must be communicated, when there must be communication, who is responsible for communicating each aspect of a project, and the documentation of the communication. If a team member is not effectively meeting their communication requirements, the project manager must meet and discuss the issue directly with the team member. Maybe there is a reason for the missed requirements, but if there isn’t, the problem must be resolved before serious conflict impedes the progress of the project. With the correct level of management established early on, the project team can successfully stay on schedule.
