Unit III Course Project: Automated Car Wash Communication Plan
Maintaining effective and efficient communication from the planning stage through
the post-mortem analysis of a project is essential to its success. A breakdown of
communication with the project stakeholders could lead to a plethora of problems which can
derail a project from being successful. An effective project manager spearheading the
communication is pivotal, as he or she is the link between the project sponsors and the project
team. This portion of the course project will provide a communication plan for the automated
car wash with vacuum cleaners.
Communication Plan
The first step is to identify what necessary information needs to be communicated.
This information should be considered essential depending on which stakeholder is being
addressed. In the case of the automated car wash, the information that should be
disseminated to stakeholders include the status of the project, any delays the project may
encounter, barriers to project completion, and any budget restrictions including
complications which may cause the project to become overbudget.
All of this information needs to be disseminated to the relevant project stakeholders.
As identified in the stakeholder identification and analysis of the course project, the
stakeholders of the car wash include investors, contractors, suppliers, regulators, business
partners, the local community, employees, competitors, and the city government. The
stakeholders listed as well as any additional which were left out would need to be identified
and ranked in order of their interest and power. This can be accomplished using the power-
interest grid model which was accomplished in the stakeholder identification and analysis.
