cycle.
It is all communication that takes place within the project team
through formal channels. In general it corresponds to the
distribution of official documentation of the project, or information
related to the objectives of this, which must be considered to
execute the work. The fact of being done through formal channels
allows the registration and subsequent consultation of said
information. The form and channel used to distribute this
information must be consistent with the communication plan of the
project, and in many cases linked to a certain procedure.
Formal external communication
In a similar way to the previous one, it is communication that
develops from the project to the outside (client, address,
stakeholders) through formal channels. This type of
communication is used when you want to record the information
transmitted, either because of its importance, because it affects the
objectives, or because its delivery is part of the scope. As in the
previous case, this should be consistent with the communication
plan of the project, and linked to a specific procedure when
appropriate.
Informal internal / external communication.
It is the most common type of communication within the project,
which allows the team to be integrated, and the best to resolve and
avoid conflicts. Because of its informal nature there is no record of
it, so the project manager must have sufficient criteria to collect
those most important issues that must be formally transmitted. In
many cases we will use informal communication to align or clarify
points of view before formalizing them through formal
communications. An important aspect to consider is the sending of
mails or preliminary documents as informal communication. This is
usual, but we must consider that being a written support can be
considered a formal communication; It would not be the first time
that in front of a conflict appears an email or a document that was

of sample.
SECTION 5 – CASE STUDY
You are 6 months into the delivery of your program, consider that the following
has happened in your program:
1. One of your key stakeholder (mention the stakeholder based on your
stakeholder register) , has a strong disagreement with one of your project
managers.
You are very supportive of the project manager; however, you have to
consider the perspective of your stakeholder.
How would you intervene to assist with the situation? How would you make
sure to keep ongoing commitment to the program from both parties?
2. The program board is introducing a new financial source for the program:
an external company that is interested in a joint venture. You will have to
engage the new stakeholder.
How would you engage the new stakeholder? How would you update your
stakeholder register, your stakeholder engagement plan and your
communication plan? (Provide detailed examples of what you would
update)
3. A newsletter with information that were not approved by the relevant
responsible person in the program, went out to all stakeholders
announcing a program development that is misleading. How would you
address the situation? Provide a detailed response with the reasons to
support your approach.
Describe how you would address each situation. (Min. 300 words in total)
- For the development of this case study, I will consider that the person in charge
of the quality control was upset because one of the assistants in the restaurant
did not want to continue with the cleaning protocols in the restaurant,
unfortunately the discussion could not be controlled and the quality manager
used inappropriate vocabulary when directing his point of view to the assistant.
Therefore the assistant requested to speak personally with the project manager,
to whom I explained the disagreement he had. Once the project manager heard
the situation, I analysed the problem and considered it necessary to hold a
meeting between the interested parties. In this meeting each one raised their
point of view and reached an agreement in which cleaning protocols must be
followed and the use of bad words are not allowed in the company because they
are outside the culture and ethical values of the restaurant.
Very close to the location of the restaurant, another healthy food restaurant has
been created, therefore it is necessary to update the register of project
stakeholders and identify the new threats and opportunities that may result. for
which the sponsor and the project manager hold a meeting to analyse the case.
- Managers must acknowledge their role in shaping organizational ethics and seize
this opportunity to create a climate that can strengthen the relationships and
reputations on which their companies’ success depends. Executives who ignore
ethics run the risk of personal and corporate liability in today’s increasingly tough
legal environment. In addition, they deprive their organizations of the benefits
available under new federal guidelines for sentencing organizations convicted of
wrongdoing. These sentencing guidelines recognize for the first time the
organizational and managerial roots of unlawful conduct and base fines partly on
the extent to which companies have taken steps to prevent that misconduct.
